WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company has (a) determined that the Amalgamation is advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company, as the case may be; and (b) approved and adopted this Agreement, the Amalgamation Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Amalgamation;

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Section 1.1 The Amalgamation; Effective Time Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Amalgamation Agreement and in accordance with the Companies Act, Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company will cause (a) the Amalgamation Agreement to be executed and delivered and (b) an application for registration of an amalgamated company (the “Amalgamation Application”) to be prepared, executed and delivered to the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda (the “Registrar”) as provided under Section 108 of the Companies Act on or prior to the Closing Date and will cause the Amalgamation to become effective pursuant to the Companies Act. The Amalgamation shall become effective upon the issuance of a certificate of amalgamation (the “Certificate of Amalgamation”) by the Registrar or such other time as the Certificate of Amalgamation may provide. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will request the Registrar provide in the Certificate of Amalgamation that the Effective Time will be the time when the Amalgamation Application is filed with the Registrar or another time mutually agreed in writing by the parties to this Agreement (the “Effective Time”). The name of the Amalgamated Company shall be “SeaCube Container Leasing Ltd.” Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Nineteenmoront Corp. shall subscribe for one Common Share for aggregate consideration of US$0.01 (at least equal to the par value thereof) (the “Carry-Forward Share”) and the Company shall issue the Carry-Forward Share to such Person.

Section 1.2 Closing Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to closing contained in Article VI, the closing of the Amalgamation (the “Closing”) shall take place (a) at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP, 4 Times Square, New York, New York, at 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the fourth (4^th) Business Day after the day on which the last of those conditions (other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) is satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement or (b) at such other place and time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may agree in writing. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3 Effects of the Amalgamation As of the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Amalgamation Agreement, the Company shall be amalgamated with Acquisition Sub and the amalgamated company (the “Amalgamated Company”) shall continue after the Amalgamation. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that (a) the Amalgamation shall be effected so as to constitute an “amalgamation” and (b) the Amalgamated Company shall be deemed to be an “amalgamated company” in accordance with Section 104 of the Companies Act. Under Section 109 of the Companies Act, from and after the Effective Time: (i) the Amalgamation of the Company and Acquisition Sub and their continuance as one company shall become effective; (ii) the property of each of the Company and Acquisition Sub shall become the property of the Amalgamated Company; (iii) the Amalgamated Company shall continue to be liable for the obligations and liabilities of each of the Company and Acquisition Sub; (iv) any existing cause of action, claim or liability to prosecution shall be unaffected; (v) any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding pending by or against the Company or Acquisition Sub may continue to be prosecuted by or against the Amalgamated Company; (vi) a conviction against, or ruling, order or judgment in favor of or against, the Company or Acquisition Sub may be enforced by or against the Amalgamated Company; and (vii) the Certificate of Amalgamation shall be deemed to be the certificate of incorporation of the Amalgamated Company; provided, however, that the date of incorporation of each of the Company and Acquisition Sub shall remain its respective original date of incorporation and the Amalgamation shall not alter its original date of incorporation.

Section 1.4 Memorandum of Association The memorandum of association of the Amalgamated Company shall be as set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement.

Section 1.5 Amalgamated Company Bye-Laws The bye-laws of the Amalgamated Company shall be the bye-laws of Acquisition Sub, which are attached hereto as Exhibit B (as they may be amended or modified from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time by the mutual written agreement of the parties) (the “Amalgamated Company Bye-Laws”).

Section 1.6 Directors The parties to this Agreement shall take all requisite action so that the directors of Acquisition Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be, from and after the Effective Time, the directors of the Amalgamated Company until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Amalgamated Company Bye-Laws and applicable Laws.

Section 1.7 Officers The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be, from and after the Effective Time, the officers of the Amalgamated Company until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Amalgamated Company Bye-Laws and applicable Laws.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE AMALGAMATION ON SHARE CAPITAL

Section 2.1 Conversion of Share Capital At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Amalgamation and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or the holder of any share capital of Acquisition Sub or the Company:

(a) Conversion of Acquisition Sub Share Capital. (i) Each Class A common share, par value US$0.01 per share, of Acquisition Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) fully paid and non-assessable Class A common share, par value US$0.01 per share, of the Amalgamated Company with full voting rights including the right to vote for the appointment of directors of the Amalgamated Company and (ii) each Class B common share, par value US$0.01 per share, of Acquisition Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) fully paid and non-assessable Class B common share, par value US$0.01 per share, of the Amalgamated Company with full voting rights other than the right to vote for the appointment of directors of the Amalgamated Company.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Parent-Owned Securities. Each Common Share owned by the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries or by Parent or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) shall be canceled automatically and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid for those Excluded Shares.

(i) Each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares, Dissenting Shares and the Carry-Forward Share) shall be converted into the right to receive US$23.00 in cash (subject to any applicable withholding tax), without interest (the “Transaction Consideration”).

(ii) All Common Shares that have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) shall be canceled automatically and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented those shares (“Certificates”) and the holders of Common Shares registered in the register of shareholders of the Company (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to those shares, other than the right to receive the Transaction Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2.

(d) Conversion of Carry-Forward Share. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Amalgamation and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, the Carry-Forward Share will be converted into and become one (1) fully paid and non-assessable Class A common share, par value US$0.01 per share, of the Amalgamated Company with full voting rights including the right to vote for the appointment of directors of the Amalgamated Company.

Section 2.2 Surrender of Certificates; Payment of Transaction Consideration

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) select a bank or trust company, satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable discretion, to act as the paying agent in the Amalgamation (the “Paying Agent”) and (ii) enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent, the terms and conditions of which are satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable discretion.

(b) Payment Fund. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall provide funds to the Paying Agent in amounts sufficient for the payment of the aggregate Transaction Consideration payable under Section 2.1(c). Such funds provided to the Paying Agent are referred to as the “Payment Fund.”

(i) Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as practicable (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days) following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Common Shares converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) the following: (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (a “Letter of Transmittal”), specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such holder’s converted shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of Certificates, or transfer of Book-Entry Shares, and a Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent and (B) instructions for surrendering such Certificates, if any.

(ii) Surrender of Certificates. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and any other documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the holder of that Certificate shall be entitled to receive, and the Paying Agent shall pay in exchange therefor, the Transaction Consideration payable in respect of the number of Common Shares evidenced by that Certificate less any required withholding of Taxes. Any Certificates so surrendered shall be canceled immediately. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any amount payable upon surrender of Certificates.

(iii) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate but may, if required by the Paying Agent, be required to deliver an executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Transaction Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II. Each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares whose Common Shares were converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration shall automatically upon the Effective Time or following the Paying Agent’s receipt of an “agent’s message” and the applicable Letter of Transmittal (or, at any later time at which such Book-Entry Shares shall be so converted) be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after such time, the Transaction Consideration to which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II.

(iv) Unregistered Transferees. If any Transaction Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, then the Transaction Consideration may be paid to such a transferee so long as (A) the surrendered Certificate is accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect that transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment (1) pays any applicable transfer Taxes or (2) establishes to the satisfaction of Parent and the Paying Agent that any such Taxes have already been paid or are not applicable.

(v) No Other Rights. Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.2(c), each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the applicable Transaction Consideration. Any Transaction Consideration paid upon the surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to that Certificate or Book-Entry Share and the Common Shares formerly represented by it.

(d) No Further Transfers. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the register of members of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the Common Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Required Withholding. Parent, the Amalgamated Company and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any Transaction Consideration payable under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under (i) the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), (ii) any applicable state, local or foreign Tax Laws or (iii) any other applicable Laws. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld, those amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made for all purposes under this Agreement.

(f) No Liability. None of Parent, the Amalgamated Company or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official under any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(g) Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest the Payment Fund as directed by Parent; provided, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations of issuers organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers’ acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding US$3 billion. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Payment Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 2.1(c) shall be paid promptly to Parent.

(h) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Paying Agent to Parent upon demand. Thereafter, any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who has not complied with this Article II shall look only to Parent for payment of the applicable Transaction Consideration.

(i) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the posting by such Person of a bond in the form reasonably required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay the Transaction Consideration to such Person in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.

Section 2.3 Company Restricted Shares.

(a) As of the Effective Time, any vesting conditions or restrictions applicable to each restricted share (“Company Restricted Share”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall lapse and each such Company Restricted Share shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.1(c).

(b) As promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall mail to each holder of Company Restricted Shares a letter describing the treatment of such Company Restricted Shares pursuant to this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4 Shares of Dissenting Holders All Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration as described in Section 2.1(c), as though such Dissenting Shares were Common Shares for the purposes thereof, and any Dissenting Holder shall, in the event that the fair value of a Dissenting Share as determined by the Supreme Court of Bermuda under Section 106 of the Companies Act is greater than the Transaction Consideration, be paid such difference by the Amalgamated Company within thirty (30) days of the final Court appraisal of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares. Additionally, in the event that a Dissenting Holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or otherwise waives any right to appraisal, its Common Shares shall be cancelled and converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration for each such Dissenting Share held by such Dissenting Holder. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of (A) any demands for appraisal of Dissenting Shares or withdrawals of such demands received by the Company and (B) to the extent that the Company has Knowledge, any applications to the Supreme Court of Bermuda for appraisal of the fair value of the Dissenting Shares and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the opportunity to participate with the Company in settlement negotiations and proceedings with respect to any written demands for appraisal under the Companies Act. The Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands or applications without the prior written consent of Parent.

(iii) (1) withdraw, modify or amend the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent (an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), (2) approve, endorse or recommend such Takeover Proposal, or (3) cause or permit the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(a) solely in order to concurrently enter into an agreement regarding a Superior

Proposal, if (A) the Company receives from the Person submitting such Takeover Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement (which the Company may negotiate with the Person during the four (4) Business Day notice period) in a customary form that is no less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement and (B) the Company Board determines (x) in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (y) after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such action is necessary in order for the Company Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or approve, endorse or recommend such Takeover Proposal, and the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (3) above, until (I) after the fourth (4^th) Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor, including the material terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the Company Board and, if applicable, a statement that the Company Board intends to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(a) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal and a new four (4) Business Day period), (II) during such four (4) Business Day period following Parent’s receipt of a Notice of Superior Proposal, in determining whether to make an Adverse Recommendation Change, to endorse or recommend such Takeover Proposal or to cause or permit the Company to so terminate this Agreement, (A) the Company shall have offered to negotiate with (and, if accepted, negotiated with) Parent in making such commercially reasonable adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable the Company to proceed with the Amalgamation and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (B) the Company Board shall have determined, after considering the results of such negotiations and the revised proposals made by Parent, if any, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to such Notice of Superior Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal, and (III) payment of the Company Termination Fee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Board shall be permitted to (i) disclose to the shareholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act and (ii) make such other public disclosure if it determines, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such action is necessary in order for the Company Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws, it being understood, however, that this clause (ii) shall not be deemed to permit the Company Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or take any of the actions referred to in clause (iii) of Section 5.4(d), except to the extent permitted by this Section 5.4(d).

Section 5.8 Employees; Benefit Plans

(a) For a period of one year following the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”) Parent shall cause the Amalgamated Company to provide employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (“Employees”) with compensation and benefits (other than equity compensation) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than

those provided under the Company’s compensation and benefit plans, programs, policies, practices and arrangements in effect at the Effective Time; provided, however, that during such one-year period, nothing herein shall prevent the amendment or termination of any specific plan, program or arrangement, require that the Amalgamated Company provide or permit investment in the securities of Parent or the Amalgamated Company or interfere with the Amalgamated Company’s right or obligation to make such changes as are necessary to comply with applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing herein shall preclude the Amalgamated Company from terminating the employment of any Employee.

(b) Parent shall and shall cause the Amalgamated Company to honor the individual agreements and Company Benefit Plans listed in Section 5.8(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter in effect as of the date hereof in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to any amendment or termination thereof that may be permitted by such agreements and Company Benefit Plans and except as provided herein. During the Continuation Period, Parent shall provide all Employees who suffer an involuntary termination of employment without cause with severance benefits no less favorable than those that would have been provided to such Employees under the Company’s severance policy as in effect immediately prior to the date hereof and as set forth in Section 5.8(b)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(c) For the purposes of determining eligibility and vesting under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Affiliates in which any Employees may become eligible to participate after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Affiliates before the Effective Time (including predecessor or acquired entities or any other entities for which the Company and its Affiliates have given credit for prior service), to the same extent as such Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar or comparable Company Benefit Plans; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply for purposes of vesting or eligibility for any plans which are frozen to new participants, benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plans or to the extent it would result in duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Employee immediately shall be eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”); and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Employee, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Employee and his or her covered dependents, and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out of pocket requirements applicable to such Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to (i) be treated as an amendment to any particular Company Benefit Plan, (ii) prevent Parent from amending or terminating any of its benefit plans in accordance with their terms or (iii) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Employee by Parent or the Company or under any benefit plan which Parent or the Company may maintain.

Section 5.9 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Amalgamated Company shall cause all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation now existing in favor of any present or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”) as provided in the Company Organizational Documents, or in agreements, copies of which have been provided to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement, between an Indemnified Party and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or otherwise in effect on the date of this Agreement to survive the Amalgamation and to continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, or, if longer, for such period as is set forth in any applicable agreement with an Indemnified Party in effect on the date of this Agreement, copies of which have been provided to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement. Parent shall guarantee such performance by the Amalgamated Company.

(b) Parent shall cause the Amalgamated Company to indemnify all Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws with respect to all acts and omissions arising out of or relating to their services as directors or officers of the Company or its Subsidiaries occurring prior to or at the Effective Time. If any Indemnified Party is or becomes involved in any Legal Action in connection with any matter occurring prior to or at the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Amalgamated Company to pay as incurred such Indemnified Party’s legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Legal Action, subject to the Amalgamated Company’s receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party, if and only to the extent required by applicable Law, to repay such legal fees, costs and expenses if it is ultimately determined under applicable Laws that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Amalgamated Company to, as of the Effective Time, obtain and fully pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years after the Effective Time which obligation may be satisfied by extending the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company or by providing for policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time so long as the Amalgamated Company is not required to pay an annual premium in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance prior to the date of this Agreement (such 300% amount being the “Maximum Premium”). If the

Amalgamated Company is unable to obtain the insurance described in the prior sentence for an amount less than or equal to the Maximum Premium, the Amalgamated Company shall instead obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

(d) The covenants contained in this Section 5.9 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise.

(e) In the event that the Amalgamated Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with, amalgamates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation, amalgamation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors or assigns of the Amalgamated Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

Section 5.10 Reasonable Best Efforts Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Laws, each of the parties to this Agreement shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to ensure that the conditions set forth in Article VI are satisfied and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable.

Neither Parent nor the Company shall file any such document if the other party has reasonably objected to the filing of such document. Neither Parent nor the Company shall consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the behest of any Governmental Entity without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The parties to this Agreement will cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings, including providing copies of all such filings and attachments to outside counsel for the non-filing parties, and make reasonable best efforts to (i) furnish all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) keep the other parties informed in all material respects of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any Governmental Entity and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) consult with the other parties prior to taking a position, and permit the other parties to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, white papers, arguments, opinions and proposals before making or submitting any of the foregoing to any Governmental Entity by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with any investigations or proceedings related solely to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party and (iv) consult with the other parties in advance of any meeting or conference with, any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with any proceeding by a private party relating thereto, and give the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences (unless prohibited by such Governmental Entity). The parties contemplate that as a general matter the Company shall be represented at in-person meetings with any Governmental Entity (unless prohibited by such Governmental Entity).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and Parent may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 5.11(a) as “Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by outside counsel to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the recipient or any of its Affiliates unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (the Company or Parent as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Each of the Company and Parent shall cause their respective outside counsels to comply with this Section 5.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.11, materials provided to the other party or its counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company and, privileged communications and competitively sensitive information.

Each of the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall contact CFIUS as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof and request an informal consultation, following which they will jointly prepare and submit a draft joint voluntary notice in accordance with 31 C.F.R. Section 800.401(g), and after resolution of all questions and comments received from CFIUS on such draft, shall prepare and submit the CFIUS Notice, and the parties shall respond to any inquiries from CFIUS in respect of the CFIUS filing, and the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to respond within the time frame set forth in 31 C.F.R. Section 800.403(a)(3), or otherwise provided by CFIUS, without the need to request an extension of time, and shall make any other submissions under Exon-▇▇▇▇▇▇ that are required to be made or

that the parties agree should be made. If Parent or the Company (or any of their respective Affiliates) receives a request for additional information from any Governmental Entity that is related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such party will endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response to such request. Parent shall advise the Company promptly of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) which Parent proposes to make or enter into with any Governmental Entity or any private party challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

No party to this Agreement shall consent to any voluntary delay of the Closing at the behest of any Governmental Entity without the consent of the other parties to this Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Vote, the Company shall not be obligated to comply with this Section 5.16 if the Company Board determines, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such compliance is necessary in order for the Company Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company shall not take any action that would otherwise fail to comply with this Section 5.16 in reliance on the foregoing exception until after the third (3^rd) Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company intends to take such action and specifying the nature of the action to be taken, it being understood and agreed that in determining whether to authorize the Company to take such action the Company Board shall take into account any changes to the financial terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent to the Company in response to such written notice.

Section 5.18 Financing.

(a) Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the proceeds of the Equity Financing and the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Equity Commitment Letter or the Debt Commitment Letter, as applicable (as each may be amended in accordance with the terms

below), including using reasonable best efforts to (i) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained therein and (ii) to satisfy on a timely basis (taking into account the expected timing of the Closing) all conditions, and otherwise comply with all terms, applicable to Parent and Acquisition Sub in such definitive agreements within their control. Parent and Acquisition Sub may not agree to or permit any amendment, supplement or other modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, the Equity Commitment Letter without the consent of the Company. Parent and Acquisition Sub may not agree to or permit any amendment, supplement or other modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing without the consent of the Company if such amendments, supplement, other modification or waivers would or could reasonably be expected to (w) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing below the amount required to repay or refinance the debt contemplated in this Agreement or the Debt Commitment Letter, (x) impose new or additional conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing or amend or otherwise modify the existing conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing so as to adversely impact the ability of Parent or Acquisition Sub to timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the likelihood of consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (y) prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (z) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Acquisition Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Acquisition Sub may replace or amend the Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities).

(b) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative debt financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient when combined with cash on hand and other financing arrangements to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event; provided, however, that Parent and Acquisition Sub shall not be required to seek or accept any such alternate debt financing if the terms or conditions thereof are less favorable to Parent (in the reasonable judgment of Parent) than the Debt Financing to be replaced, including with respect to economic terms and conditions. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the all material activity concerning the status of the Debt Financing or any alternative debt financing and concurrently provide final copies of the material definitive documents for the Debt Financing provided to the lenders. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall each give the Company prompt notice of (i) any material breach by any party of the Equity Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Equity Financing or Debt Financing of which Parent or Acquisition Sub becomes aware or (ii) the receipt by it of any written notice with respect to any material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the applicable the Equity Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Equity Financing or Debt Financing, as applicable, of any material provisions of the Equity Commitment Letter, Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Equity Financing. As soon as reasonably practicable, Parent shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

anything in this Section 5.18 or in any other provision of this Agreement, Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of the Debt Financing, or any alternative debt financing, is not a condition to Closing.

Section 5.19 Cooperation with Financing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide and cause its Subsidiaries to provide, and shall cause its and their respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, accountants, legal counsel, investment bankers, agents and other representatives to provide, all necessary cooperation in connection with any financing efforts that Parent may undertake in connection with any Debt Financing, in connection with obtaining consents from the Company’s lenders or note holders under the Company’s existing financing arrangements or with respect to notices relating to the repayment of any of the Company’s existing financing arrangements to occur at or following the Closing, as may be reasonably requested by Parent, including, but not limited to, participation in a reasonable number of meetings, furnishing financial and other information, cooperation in marketing efforts, assisting in matters related to collateral (including providing information as requested for the evaluation of assets included or that may be included in any borrowing base), assistance in preparing borrowing base certificates in the form and substance as requested by Parent and for the dates requested by Parent, allowing Parent and its and its lender’s Representatives such access as may be reasonably necessary for their due diligence, creating a bankruptcy remote Subsidiary in a jurisdiction specified by Parent and causing one or more of its Subsidiaries, as necessary, to become borrowers under any such Debt Financing; provided, however, that none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the foregoing prior to the Effective Time and provided, further, that Parent shall be solely responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses of the Company incurred in connection with the foregoing.

Section 5.20 Eligibility of Assets in Borrowing Base and Existing Indebtedness.

(a) The Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to ensure that assets (including containers and generator sets) meeting the eligibility requirements for inclusion in the borrowing base under any agreement relating to the Company Indebtedness (other than the Term Loan), are in a level sufficient to support the amount of indebtedness outstanding thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) The Company shall provide to Parent as promptly as practicable after the provision to any lender, manager, administrative agent, collateral agent, bondholder or other party any report, certificate or other written information relating to the borrowing base or any assets included in the borrowing base provided pursuant to any management agreement or agreement relating to the Company Indebtedness (other than the Term Loan).

(c) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall procure that no “manager default,” “event of default” or “early amortization event” shall have occurred and be continuing under (and as defined in) any management agreement or agreement relating to the Company Indebtedness.

(c) if the Company breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(c) and (ii) has not been cured (or is not capable of being cured) by the Company (x) within thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Parent or (y) solely with respect to Sections 5.20(a) and (c), prior to the date on which the Closing would otherwise occur pursuant to Section 1.2(a) if such breach were not in existence.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such party. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 7.9 Procedure for Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver In order to be effective, (a) any termination or amendment of this Agreement shall require the prior approval of that action by the Board of Directors of each party seeking to terminate or amend this Agreement and (b) any extension or waiver of any obligation under this Agreement or condition to the consummation of this Agreement shall require the prior approval of a duly authorized officer or the Board of Directors of the party or parties entitled to extend or waive that obligation or condition.

Section 8.8 Entire Agreement This Agreement (including the Exhibits to this Agreement), the Company Disclosure Letter, the Voting Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No representation, warranty, inducement, promise, understanding or condition not set forth in this Agreement has been made or relied upon by any of the parties to this Agreement.

Section 8.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries Except for (a) the Persons intended to benefit from the provisions of Section 5.9, each of whom shall have the right to enforce such provisions directly and (b) the right of holders of Common Shares and Company Restricted Shares to receive Transaction Consideration pursuant to Article II (a claim with respect to which shall be enforceable only by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, on behalf of the shareholders of the Company or the holders of Company Restricted Shares), this Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Financing Sources are hereby third-party beneficiaries of Section 7.5 (Effect of Termination), Section 7.7 (Amendment), Section 8.4 (Governing Law), Section 8.5 (Submission to Jurisdiction), Section 8.6 (Waiver of Jury Trial), this Section 8.9 (No Third-Party Beneficiaries), Section 8.13 (Remedies), and Section 8.14 (Specific Performance).

Section 8.10 Severability The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of that provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted for that provision in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of that provision, or the application of that provision, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.11 Rules of Construction The parties to this Agreement have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and waive the application of any Laws or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in any agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or other document.

Section 8.12 Assignment This Agreement shall not be assignable by operation of law or otherwise, except that Parent may designate, by written notice to the Company, a Subsidiary that is wholly-owned by Parent to be amalgamated with the Company in lieu of Acquisition Sub, in which event all references in this Agreement to Acquisition Sub shall be deemed references to such Subsidiary, and in that case, all representations and warranties made in this Agreement with respect to Acquisition Sub as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such Subsidiary as of the date of such designation, mutatis mutandis.

Section 8.13 Remedies Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a party to this Agreement shall be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy contained in this Agreement, at law or in equity. The exercise by a party to this Agreement of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise by it of any other remedy. Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledge and agree that regardless of any termination of this Agreement, the Company may recover, solely through an action brought by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, damages from Parent and Acquisition Sub if Parent or Acquisition Sub intentionally and in bad faith breaches this Agreement and the remedy of specific performance set forth in Section 8.14 is not available to the Company, in which event the damages recoverable by the Company for itself and on behalf of holders of Common Shares and Company Restricted Shares (without duplication) shall not be limited to expenses or out-of-pocket costs, but may include the benefit of the bargain lost by the Company and the holders of Common Shares and Company Restricted Shares taking into consideration all relevant matters. Any damages recovered in any such action brought by the Company may be retained by the Company for any corporate purpose or distributed to the holders of Common Shares and Company Restricted Shares as the Company Board determines in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section 8.14 Specific Performance. The parties to this Agreement agree that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy and that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, subject to Section 7.6 hereof and the discretion of the courts described in Section 8.5, the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or violations of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the courts described in Section 8.5, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Moreover, and in recognition of the foregoing, but subject to Section 7.6 of this Agreement in all respects, each of the parties to this Agreement hereby waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance of this Agreement that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any law for any party to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Section 8.15 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall be one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when each party to this Agreement shall have received (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission) counterparts signed by all of the other parties.
