SECTION 2. THE CREDIT LOAN.

Section 2.1 Commitments to Make Credit Loans.

(a) Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, each Lender shall make available to the Borrower on the Restatement Date its Commitment in the Commitment Amount set forth opposite the name of such Lender on Schedule 4 hereto.

(b) Evidence of Credit Loans. During the Revolving Credit Period, each of the Notes shall be a revolving note with a maximum principal amount equal to the then current Commitment of the related Lender.

(c) Funding of Credit Loans. On any Business Day requested by the Borrower and presuming that the Borrower shall have satisfied all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4 and 5 hereof, each Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, deposit with the account designated by the Borrower by wire transfer of same day funds not later than 4:00 p.m. (Amsterdam time) an amount equal to its pro rata share of the requested Credit Loan; provided, however, that each Credit Loan by each Lender shall be for an amount (A) not less than the lesser of (x) its then Unused Commitment and (y) such Lender's pro rata share of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), and (B) not greater than the then Availability of such Lender.

(d) Request for Credit Loan. Each Borrowing Notice shall be submitted in writing to the Agent by no later than 4:00 p.m. (Amsterdam time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the date of the requested Credit Loan, and the Agent shall promptly provide each Lender with a copy of each such Borrowing Notice accompanied by all of the attachments set forth in the definition thereof. Such notice shall include a calculation of the Asset Base (calculated to include any Eligible Containers and/or Eligible Leases to be acquired with the proceeds of such Credit Loan). Each Borrowing Notice shall constitute a reaffirmation by Borrower that (1) no Default, Event of Default, Early Amortization Event or Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing and no event or condition has occurred or is existing that with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Early Amortization Event or a Servicer Default and (2) the representations and warranties of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Guarantor contained in the Loan Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects to the same extent as though made on and as of the date of the request, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which event such representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such earlier date.

(e) A Borrowing Notice, once delivered to the Agent, shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. If any Credit Loan requested by the Borrower is not made or effectuated on the specified Funding Date, for any reason whatsoever related to a default or nonperformance by the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay Funding Losses. In connection with any Credit Loan or any Funding Date, all of the Lenders may, in their collective and absolute discretion, grant the Borrower extensions and/or waivers in fulfilling its obligations under this Section 2.1 and in fulfilling the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof.

(f) Obligations of Lenders Several. The failure of any Lender to make a Credit Loan hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make a Credit Loan on such funding date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Credit Loan to be made by such other Lender on such funding date.

(g) Extension of the Revolving Credit Period. The Borrower may, within 60 days, but no later than 45 days, prior to the date set forth in item (i) of the definition of Conversion Date (or such shorter period, as has been approved by the Lenders), by written notice to each Lender request the extension of the Revolving Credit Period for an additional period of up to 364 days from the date on which the renewal is approved. Each of the Lenders shall make a determination, in its sole discretion and after a full credit review, within 30 days of its receipt of the Borrower's request, as to whether or not it will agree to extend the Revolving Credit Period; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make a timely response to the Borrower's request for extension of the Revolving Credit Period shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Lender to extend the Revolving Credit Period. The Revolving Credit Period shall only be extended upon the consent of 100% of the Lenders. Any such renewal shall become effective only upon written confirmation to the Borrower by each Lender of its agreement to so renew and upon receipt by each Lender of a renewal fee in an amount as shall be determined at such time.

Section 2.2 The Notes. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Credit Loans and to pay interest thereon and other sums which may become payable with respect thereto shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes (collectively the Notes, and singly, a Note) of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2. Each Note shall evidence the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Credit Loans and shall be denominated in an amount up to the Lender’s Commitment Amount, however, such Note shall be payable in the aggregate principal amount of all Credit Loans at any time advanced by the payee Lender that remain unpaid. Each Lender shall endorse on its Note, or enter in a record pertaining thereto, all Credit Loans and repayments thereof, provided that the failure by any Lender to make any such notation shall not affect the unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay all amounts due under the Note held by such Lender as and when payments with respect to the Credit Loan are due.

Section 2.3 Principal Payments on the Notes.

(a) On each Payment Date occurring during the Revolving Credit Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent on behalf of each Lender in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in subpart (I) of Section 2.18(b) a principal payment on its Note in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the Asset Base Deficiency (if any).

(b) On each Payment Date occurring after the Revolving Credit Period has expired or been terminated and on which no Early Amortization Event is continuing, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent on behalf of each Lender a principal payment on its Note in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the Scheduled Principal Payment for such Payment Date.

(c) On each Payment Date on which an Early Amortization Event is then continuing, all of the remaining available Distributable Cash Flow, in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in subpart (I) of Section 2.18(b), will be used to repay the principal balance of the Notes; provided, however, that if only a Designated Early Amortization Event is then continuing, then, so long as no other Early Amortization Event is then continuing, only the Designated Early Amortization Amount will be used to repay the Note, which amount shall be in addition to the Scheduled Principal Payment payable on such date.

(d) The unpaid principal balance of, and all accrued interest and other amounts owing on, or with respect to, the Notes shall be payable in full on the earlier to occur of (x) the Final Maturity Date and (y) the date on which the Note(s) have been declared due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 hereof.

Section 2.4 Interest on the Credit Loan.

(a) Interest will be paid on each Note on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Note Interest Payment for the Interest Period ended on the day prior to such Payment Date.

(b) In no event shall the interest charged with respect to a Note exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. If at any time the interest rate charged with respect to a Note exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to such Note shall be limited to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, but any subsequent reductions in Eurodollar Rate shall not reduce the interest to accrue on such Note below the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law until the total amount of interest accrued on such Note equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest rate had at all times been in effect. If the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Note under the foregoing provisions is less than the total amount of interest that would have accrued if the interest rate had at all times been in effect, the Borrower agrees to pay to the affected Lender(s) an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law had at all times been in effect, or (ii) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the interest rate had at all times been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest accrued in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

(c) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year composed of 360 days and calculated for the actual number days that elapse. Each overdue amount payable to the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any Note, whether of principal, interest, Funding Losses, or otherwise, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest from the due date thereof to the date such amount is paid in full (whether before or after judgment) at the Default Rate from time to time in effect, compounded daily and payable by the Borrower upon demand by the Agent or any Lender at any time and from time to time.

Section 2.5 Revolving Credit Facility.

The facility evidenced by this Agreement is a revolving credit facility. Accordingly, the Borrower will, subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement and prior to the occurrence of the Conversion Date have the right to reborrow any amounts repaid to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) At the times and in the amounts set forth in the Facility Fee Letter, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent the "Facility Fee" described therein.

(c) On each Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Conversion Date, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") in an amount equal to the product of (i) forty-five hundredths of one percent (0.45%), (ii) the average Unused Commitment of such Lender for the Interest Period ended on the immediately preceding day, and (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the Interest Period referred to in clause (ii) above, and the denominator of which is 360.

(d) At the times and in the amounts set forth in the Agent Fee Letter, the Borrower shall pay the Agent Fee to the Agent in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.18 hereof.

Section 2.7 Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayment. Upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Agent, the Borrower may, on any Payment Date prepay, in whole or in part, the then unpaid principal amount of all of the Notes. In connection with any prepayment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(a), the Borrower shall be required to pay, contemporaneously with such prepayment, an amount equal to the sum of (i) accrued interest on the principal balance being prepaid calculated through the date of such prepayment, and (ii) any Funding Losses incurred as the result of such prepayment. Any such voluntary prepayment made subsequent to the Conversion Date shall be used to reduce all future Scheduled Principal Payments in equal amounts.

(b) Mandatory Payments for Asset Base Deficiency. On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall make a mandatory payment of the Notes in an amount equal to the Asset Base Deficiency; provided, however, that the failure to make such payment shall not in itself constitute an Event of Default.

(c) Mandatory Prepayment for Servicer Default. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default (unless otherwise waived in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and except for a CAI Servicer Default), the Borrower shall be required to make a mandatory prepayment of the Notes in an amount equal to the then remaining Aggregate Maximum Guaranteed Payment (and payment to the Agent by the Guarantor shall be deemed to be a prepayment by the Borrower). In connection with any prepayment made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(c), the Borrower shall be required to pay, contemporaneously with such prepayment, an amount equal to the sum of (i) accrued interest on the principal balance being prepaid, calculated through the date of such prepayment, and (ii) any Funding Losses incurred as the result of such prepayment.

(d) Voluntary Prepayment Related to Certain Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 8(m), the Borrower may prepay in whole (but not in part) the then unpaid principal amount of all of the Notes.

Section 2.8 Illegality or Impossibility.(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if on any date: (a) the introduction of, change in, or change in the interpretation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority of, any Law or regulation applicable to any Lender shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction thereof shall assert that it is unlawful for any Lender to permit a Credit Loan to be loaned on a Eurodollar Rate Basis in accordance with the provisions hereof, or (b) if any Lender shall reasonably determine that: (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the Eurodollar interbank market, adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate which would otherwise be applicable during any Interest Period, (ii) deposits of Dollars in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to such Lender in the Eurodollar interbank market, or (iii) the Eurodollar Rate does not or will not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender of maintaining any Credit _.Loan on a Eurodollar Rate Basis during any Interest Period, then such affected Lender shall promptly give facsimile or other written notice of such determination to the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly give facsimile or other written notice of such determination to the Borrower (which notice shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) and to the other Lenders. Upon such notification by the Agent, the obligation of the affected Lender(s) to lend or maintain any Credit Loan on the applicable Eurodollar Rate Basis shall be suspended until the affected Lender determines that such circumstances no longer exist. Upon such notification and suspension by the Agent, the Borrower shall have the option to prepay immediately the affected Credit Loans in full without penalty or premium; provided, however, that the Borrower shall pay all of the following: (i) any Funding Losses, (ii) accrued interest on the principal balance being prepaid, calculated through the date of such prepayment and (iii) any additional amounts or fees payable to each of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall not exercise its option to prepay immediately then, unless any such Law, regulation or other authority requires otherwise, any existing Credit Loan shall continue to bear interest at the applicable Eurodollar Rate Basis until the succeeding Payment Date, and thereafter, shall bear interest at the sum of (A) the Applicable Margin plus (B) the lower of (x) the Lender’s cost of funds and (y) the prime or base rate of interest announced by from time to time by Citibank, N.A.

Section 2.12 Funding of Credit Loans. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of the Credit Loan in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for purposes of this Agreement, all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Credit Loan made on or converted to a Eurodollar Rate Basis during the Interest Period for such Credit Loan through the purchase of deposits having a term corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the applicable Eurodollar Rate in the case of a Credit Loan made on a Eurodollar Rate Basis.

Section 2.13 Obligations Several. The rights and obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint, and no Lender’s obligation to lend shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to make any Credit Loan.

Section 2.14 Replacement of an Affected Lender. If no Default or Event of Default then exists or is continuing and if (i) as the result of the application of Section 2.8, the obligation of one or more (but not all) of the Lenders to permit a Credit Loan to be loaned in a Eurodollar Rate Basis is suspended for more than thirty (30) days, (ii) as the result of the application of Section 2.9, one or more (but not all) of Lenders which has caused the Agent to notify the Borrower of increased capital requirements and the affected Lender(s) are unable to agree on an adjustment to the compensation payable to such Lender within the specified 30 day period, or (ii) the Borrower must make a payment pursuant to Section 2.17 with respect to such Lender, then, in each such case, during a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, the Borrower, by notice to the Agent, may elect to cause such affected Lender to assign its interest hereunder and in its Credit Loans to one or more of the other Lenders (if any such Lender so desires to accept such an assignment), or to another^. financial institution selected by the Borrower and acceptable to the Agent, any such assignment to be effected in accordance with Section 16.

Section 2.16 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall compensate the Lenders, upon request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any swap breakage costs, loss or cost (including interest paid) in liquidating or employing deposits required to fund or maintain a Credit Loan on a Eurodollar Rate Basis and any interest paid by the Lenders to lenders of funds borrowed by them to make or carry a Credit Loan on a Eurodollar Rate Basis) which the Lenders may sustain: (a) if for any reason a Credit Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Notice due to an act of omission of the Borrower; (b) if any repayment (including repayments following acceleration of the Obligations due to an Event of Default) or continuation of any Credit Loan occurs for any reason on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (c) if any prepayment of any Credit Loan is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (d) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay a Credit Loan when required by the terms of this Agreement or the Notes (collectively, Funding Losses). The Borrower shall pay such amount upon presentation by the affected Lenders of a certificate pursuant to Section 2.10 setting forth the amount and such calculation thereof pursuant hereto.

Section 2.17 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes paid by such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto (except for Taxes on the overall net income of such Lender or the Agent or any franchise Taxes in lieu thereof) without duplication of any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9(a).

(b) From time to time, if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent, each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Agent with (i) United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (ii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

(c) If the Borrower, or Servicer on behalf of Borrower, fails to maintain the Hedging Requirements, the Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion to direct the Agent, to enter into Interest Rate Hedge Agreements, caps or collars on the Borrower's behalf. In the event the Agent enters into an Interest Rate Hedge Agreement on the Borrower's behalf, the Agent shall promptly send a copy of any such agreement to the Borrower and may provide the Agent and Servicer with a written direction to deposit in the Trust Account certain amounts to purchase, or reimburse the Agent or a third party for purchase, such Interest Rate Hedge Agreement.

(d) As additional security hereunder, the Borrower hereby assigns to the Agent all right, title and interest of the Borrower under each Interest Rate Hedge Agreement, including, but not limited to, all present and future amounts payable by an Interest Rate Hedge Provider to the Borrower under or in connection with such Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that, as a result of such assignment, the Borrower may not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, exercise any rights under any Interest Rate Hedge Agreement that could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the rights of the Agent and Lender's hereunder, as assignee of the Borrower's rights under such Interest Rate Hedge Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall have the effect of releasing the Borrower from any of its obligations under an Interest Rate Hedge Agreement or be construed as requiring the consent of the Agent, any Lender or third party beneficiary hereunder for the performance of the Borrower's obligations thereunder.

(e) The Borrower shall enter into each Interest Rate Hedge Agreement only with an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider. Each Interest Rate Hedge Agreement shall provide that if the Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider or any party providing credit support on its behalf suffers an Interest Rate Hedge Provider Minimum Rating Downgrade Event, the Interest Rate Hedge Provider will be required to post, within ten (10) Business Days of such Interest Rate Hedge Provider Minimum Rating Downgrade Event, collateral set forth in the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Agreement and execute a "Credit Support Annex" in connection therewith. Failure to post collateral within such time shall constitute a termination event under the terms of the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. Such Interest Rate Hedge Provider may transfer (at its own cost), with the cooperation of the Borrower and the Servicer, all of its rights and obligations under its Interest Rate Hedge Agreement to an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider in accordance with the terms of its Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. Each Interest Rate Hedge Agreement shall also provide that if the Interest Rate Hedge Provider (or any party providing credit support identified in the Interest Rate Hedge Agreement or any credit support annex thereto on its behalf) suffers an Interest Rate Hedge Provider Required Rating Downgrade Event, such Interest Rate Hedge Provider will be required to transfer (at its own cost) all of its rights and obligations under its Interest Rate Hedge Agreement to an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider not later than thirty (30) Business Days after the occurrence of the Interest Rate Hedge Provider Required Rating Downgrade Event. Upon the occurrence of an Interest Rate Hedge Provider Required Rating Downgrade Event, the Agent shall have the right to direct the Borrower to terminate the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Agent, or shall, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, terminate the Interest Rate Hedge Agreement and simultaneously enter into a replacement Interest Rate Hedge Agreement in the event the Interest Rate Hedge Provider fails to post collateral or transfer its rights and interests under the Interest Rate Hedge Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Hedge Agreement.

(f) The Agent shall, promptly after any downgrade for which .the Interest Rate Hedge Provider is required to post collateral, establish a single segregated trust account (with separate subaccounts for each financial institution acting as an Interest Rate Hedge Provider) in the name of the Agent (collectively, the "Counterparty Collateral Account"), which shall be held in trust in the name of the Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders and over which the Agent shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, investment earnings on amounts held in the Counterparty Collateral Account shall be remitted to the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Provider upon its written request and its representation that the request is in accordance with the terms of the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. The Agent shall deposit all collateral received from an Interest Rate Hedge Provider under an Interest Rate Hedge Agreement in the Counterparty Collateral Account. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise held to the credit of, the Counterparty Collateral Account shall be held in trust by the Agent for the benefit of the secured parties under this Agreement. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of the Counterparty Collateral Account shall be (i) for application to obligations of the applicable Interest Rate Hedge Provider to the Borrower under its Interest Rate Hedge Agreement, if such Interest Rate Hedge Agreement becomes subject to early termination, or (ii) to return collateral or investment earnings to such Interest Rate Hedge Provider when and as required by such Interest Rate Hedge Agreement. The Agent shall take all actions necessary to return collateral to any Interest Rate Hedge Provider as described in the preceding sentence including, without limitation, issuance of entitlement orders to any Securities Intermediary (as defined in the UCC). No actions taken under this Section 6.19 shall be at the expense of the Agent.

(g) All payments received from an Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall be deposited by the Borrower directly into the Trust Account and distributed in accordance with Section 2.18(b) hereof.

(h) Any notional reductions shall be effected over all outstanding transactions under Interest Rate Hedge Agreements then in effect on a pro rata basis pursuant to the terms of the Interest Rate Hedge Agreements.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Fortis Bank (Nederland) N.V. on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby agrees that any Interest Rate Hedge Agreement entered into by such Person with respect hereto shall be fully assignable by the Borrower upon the termination of the Security Agreement and the lien created thereunder; provided, however, that, after giving effect to such assignment, all of the following conditions shall be satisfied: (i) the Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall be secured by the Containers and Related Assets, (ii) the amount of collateral supporting the obligations to the Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall not be materially less than the amount of collateral hereunder, (iii) the priority of payments (whether in a securitization or a secured lending facility) to the Interest Rate Hedge Provider (both in terms of scheduled payments and termination payments) shall be on substantially the same terms as the priority of payments provided for hereunder and (iv) the Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s rights and remedies under any successor transaction document shall not be materially less than the rights and remedies granted hereunder.

(f) If the Agent shall exercise any or all available remedies pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, all moneys received by the Agent from the exercise of such remedies and any other moneys at the time in the possession of the Agent and available for distribution to the Lenders and/or the Agent shall be applied by the Agent in the following manner:

first, in or toward the payment of amounts owing to the Agent (excluding any amounts payable to Fortis Bank (Nederland) N.V. in its capacity as a Lender) for its fees and other amounts due to the Agent at the date of distribution for which it is entitled to reimbursement or indemnification pursuant to this Agreement;

second, in or toward the reimbursement of amounts expended by each of the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.7 of this Agreement; and

third, in or toward the payment of the amounts set forth in clause (III) of Section 2.18(b) hereof.

(g) This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be enforced against the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor by the Agent as agent of each of the Lenders, if so instructed, without the necessity of joining any or all of them as parties in the enforcement proceedings.

The Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained in the name of, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Agent, and the Borrower hereby pledges to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders a security interest in, as security for the Obligations, any such Cash Collateral Account and all amounts from time to time held therein, including all interest and other amounts accrued thereon.

(i) As a separate stipulation independent from anything else herein contained, the Agent is hereby authorized, without notice to or any consent of the Borrower and without prejudice to any other right or remedy which the Agent might have from time to time or at any time or times while an Event of Default exists, without restrictions, to debit all or any of the Cash Collateral Account and appropriate, set-off or apply all or any part of the sums standing to the credit thereto towards the payment or discharge of any of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(f) hereof, and for the purposes of such appropriation or application, to transfer the whole or any part of the sums standing to the credit of the Cash Collateral Account to any of the offices of the Agent in any country whatsoever.

(j) The arrangements regarding all of or any part of the Cash Collateral Account shall not constitute a debt of the Agent due or payable to the Borrower and, accordingly, the Borrower shall at no time be entitled to withdraw any sum standing to its credit in the Cash Collateral Account until all of the Obligations have been paid in full.

(k) The Agent shall be permitted to invest from time to time any amounts on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of prime commercial banks (having a maturity of fewer than 30 days). Upon the request of the Borrower, such amounts may be invested in other securities issued by any commercial bank acceptable to Majority Lenders in the ordinary course of its business; provided that all actions shall have been taken, and all such documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, including an opinion of counsel, shall have been delivered to the Agent as it, in its sole discretion, shall deem reasonably necessary or advisable in order to assure the Agent that it, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have a duly perfected, first-priority lien, charge and security interest in and to such securities and the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 10. NOTICE AND WAIVERS OF DEFAULT.

Section 10.1 Notice of Default. If any Lender shall give any notice or take any other action in respect of a claimed Default (whether or not constituting an Event of Default) under this Agreement, the Borrower shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the Agent, describing the notice or action and the nature of the claimed Default.

Section 10.2 Waivers of Default. Any Default or Event of Default may be waived as provided in Section 20. The Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing of any waiver granted hereunder. Any Default or Event of Default so waived shall be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing and to not have occurred for purposes of the Loan Documents, and upon such waiver the Borrower, and each of the Lenders shall be restored to their respective positions prior to the existence of the Default or Event of Default, whether or not acceleration of the maturity of the Notes shall have occurred pursuant to Section 9. No such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any rights consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10 to the contrary, the Agent and the Lenders shall not be in any way obligated or required to grant any waiver and the decision to grant any waiver shall be in the sole discretion of the Lenders.

SECTION 11. SET OFF.

In addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights granted by applicable law, and regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the continuance of an Event of Default, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any Lender to the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower may, without notice to the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower (which is hereby expressly waived), be set off against any and all liabilities, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter rising, of the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower to such Lender. Each Lender agrees with the other Lenders that if an amount to be set off is to be applied to any Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower to any such Lender, whether Indebtedness evidenced by any of the Notes or due under this Agreement or otherwise arising, such amount shall be applied ratably to all such indebtedness (except to the extent not permitted by the terms of any agreement or instrument evidencing the same). Each Lender further agrees with the other Lenders that if such Lender shall both (a) receive from either the Parent Guarantor or the Borrower or from any other source whatsoever, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of set-off, counterclaim, cross action, or enforcement of any claim evidenced by the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and (b) retain and apply to the payment of the amounts owing with respect to the Notes or of any amounts due to any such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document any amount which is in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders, then such Lender shall make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution until the amount of such excess has been exhausted, assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise, as shall result in each such Lender receiving in respect of its Notes and the amounts due any such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document its ratable share of all such payments.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11, any set-off rights exercisable by the Agent or any Lender hereunder against the Parent Guarantor or any of its property shall be subject to the Aggregate Maximum Guaranteed Payment (as such term is defined in the Parent Guaranty).

SECTION 12. SECURITY AND DISCHARGE.

(a) The Obligations shall be secured by the Parent Guaranty and the Security Agreement. The execution and delivery of the Parent Guaranty and each of the Security Documents shall constitute a condition precedent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(ii) In connection with the discharge of this Credit Agreement and the release of the Collateral, the Agent shall, at the expense of the Borrower, promptly after request therefor by the Borrower, remit to the Borrower the then remaining items of the Collateral and execute and deliver to the Borrower or authorize the filing by the Borrower of any financing statements prepared by the Borrower evidencing such discharge and release.

(c) Partial Discharge. Upon any prepayment of the Notes in accordance with this Credit Agreement, at the request of the Borrower, the Agent shall remit to the Borrower appropriate documentation evidencing the partial release of Collateral, so long as (w) the requested release would not give rise to a Default, an Early Amortization Event, a Servicer Default or an Event of Default, (x) the requested release would not result in an Asset Base Deficiency, (y) a Default, an Early Amortization Event, a Servicer Default or an Event of Default is not then continuing and (z) the Borrower shall use no adverse selection procedures in selecting the Collateral to be released, and the Agent shall authorize the filing by the Borrower of any financing statements prepared by the Borrower evidencing such partial discharge and release.

Section 13.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Fortis Bank (Nederland) N.V. as the Agent for such Person under this Agreement; and each of the other Loan Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Fortis Bank (Nederland) N.V., as the Agent for such Lender, to execute the Loan Documents and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto including, without limitation, the receipt from a Lender and remittance to the Borrower of any Credit Loan to be advanced by such Credit Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1 hereof.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have fiduciary obligation to any of the Lenders.

Section 13.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of all counsel (including counsel to the Borrower and/or Parent Guarantor to the extent such counsel so comments in writing), Independent Accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the named payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent.

The Agent shall in all cases, be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Majority Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders as required by the provisions of this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

Section 13.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and consult with the Lenders with respect the action to be taken. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 13.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-infact or affiliates of the Agent has made any representations or warranties to it and that no action by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and credit-worthiness of the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor and made its own decision to make its Credit Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking, or directing, any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and credit-worthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or credit-worthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession, of the Agent or any officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates of the Agent.

Section 13.7 Indemnification.

(a) The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to the principal balances of their respective Notes, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent (including any Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein, and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct or, in the case of the handling of money or funds received by the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, simple negligence. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) The Agent shall not be required to expend any of its own money to make up the full amount of any Credit Loan requested by the Borrower hereunder, or otherwise or incur any expense as a consequence of the failure of any Lender to make available to the Agent any Credit Loan which the Lenders have become obliged to make hereunder. If such a failure should occur and the Agent shall nevertheless have advanced money of its own or incur expense in order to make up the full amount of any such Credit Loan, it shall be deemed to have done so at the request of any Lender, which is in default, unless such Lender shall have previously notified the Agent that it should not make such an advance or incur such an expense to make good such failure, and in the absence of such prior notice, such Lender shall be obliged to pay to the Agent on demand the amount expended by the Agent out of its own funds plus any costs incurred by the Agent to carry such funds while such Lender is in default to the Agent hereunder, all of which shall constitute a loan by the Agent to such Lender which shall bear interest from the date of the advance by the Agent at its cost of funds plus the Applicable Margin from day to day on the Credit Loan with respect to which the advance or expenditure was made. During the continuance of any such default as between the Agent and such Lender, and notwithstanding anything elsewhere herein to the contrary expressed or implied, the principal amount of indebtedness in respect of Credit Loans made by such Lender in default shall be deemed to be reduced, so long as the default continues, by the amount not remitted by it to the Agent to make up such Lender's share of the amount of such Credit Loan and such principal amount and interest thereon shall be deemed assigned to and collectible by the Agent for its own account for application against the amount of its claim under the preceding sentence.

(c) In the event that the Agent does not receive from any Lender a payment which such Lender is required by the terms hereof to make to the Agent and the Agent has made the amount thereof available to the Borrower, as the intended recipient thereof, if the Borrower repays the Agent the amount made available to it, the Borrower shall be subrogated to the Agent's right to recover such amount from any Lender which failed to make such required payment.

Section 13.8 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 13.7 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Section 13.9 The Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, and its Affiliates as though Fortis Bank (Nederland) N.V. were not the Agent hereunder and Fortis Bank (Nederland) N.V. (any such successor) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from tote Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. With respect to its Credit Loans made or renewed by it, and any Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 13.10 Successor Agent. The Agent may voluntarily resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, or shall resign upon the written request of the Majority Lenders, with such written request also being provided to the Borrower. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent which successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the resigning Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement, or any holders of the Notes. If a successor Agent is not appointed before the end of such thirty (30) day notice period, the resigning Agent shall continue to serve as Agent hereunder for a limited period of time beyond such thirty (30) day notice period; provided that the Borrower and the Lenders diligently attempt to identify and appoint a successor Agent. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement.

Section 13.11 Exercise of Remedies Under Security Documents. Unless the Agent shall have determined that immediate action is desirable in order to protect the interests of the Lenders, the Agent shall consult with the Lenders before exercising any remedies under the Security Documents and shall (subject to receiving indemnification pursuant to Section 13.7) take such actions with respect thereto as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders.

Section 13.12 Standard of Care.

In performing its duties and functions hereunder, the Agent will exercise the same degree of care which it normally exercises in making and handling loans in which it alone is interested, but it does not assume further responsibility.

Section 13.13 Dealing with the Lenders.

The Agent may at all times deal solely with the several Lenders for all purposes of this Agreement and the protection, enforcement and collection of the Notes, including the acceptance and reliance upon any certificate, consent or other document of such Lenders and the division of payments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding possession by the Agent of actual knowledge that any Lender has sold a participation in Credit Loans made or to be made by it hereunder to another Person.

Section 13.14 Duties Not to be Increased.

The duties and liabilities of the Agent shall not be increased without the written consent of the Agent.

SECTION 14. EXPENSES AND INDEMNITIES.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to pay: (a) the cost of producing and reproducing this Agreement and other instruments mentioned herein; (b) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent and its counsel (as well as any outside counsel for the Lenders) incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and other instruments mentioned herein, each funding hereunder, and all amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, and (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by the Agent and by each Lender in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the Notes against the Borrower and/or the Parent Guarantor or the administration thereof after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and (ii) in connection with any workout, amendment or waiver requested by the Borrower or Parent Guarantor, litigation, proceeding or dispute (other than one between two or more Lenders and other than one in which the Borrower commences proceedings against the Lenders or any Lender and prevails therein), whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to the Agent’s or any Lender’s relationship with the Borrower hereunder. The amount of all such expenses shall, if not paid within 30 days of receipt of invoice, until paid, bear interest at the rate applicable to principal hereunder (including any Default Rate) and be an obligation secured by any collateral. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay the costs of any field audit examinations that the Agent in its discretion may conduct. The Borrower further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all damages, losses, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities, claims, actions or causes of action, and reasonable costs and expenses incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by an Indemnified Party by reason of or resulting from any litigation, proceeding or dispute commenced or threatened against the Agent, or any Lender arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby unless such damages, losses, settlement payments, obligations or liabilities were caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party. In any investigation, proceeding or litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to select its own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The covenants of this Section 14 shall survive payment or satisfaction of payment of amounts owing with respect to the Notes.

SECTION 15. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the other Loan Documents and in any certificates or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor, pursuant hereto shall survive the making by each Lender of Credit Loans, as herein contemplated and shall continue in full force and effect so long as amount due under this Agreement or the Notes remains outstanding and unpaid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the indemnification agreements of the Borrower set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement shall survive the payment of amounts due under this Agreement or the Notes. All statements of fact relating to the Borrower contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to the Agent or to any Lender at any time after the date hereof by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor hereunder.

The Borrower shall upon request of the Assignee and delivery of the assigning Lender's Note execute new Notes in appropriate denominations and class to evidence the Credit Loans after an assignment and shall deliver such new Notes to the Assignee and the assigning Lender (to the extent it retains any portion of the Credit Loans) in exchange for the return of the Notes that previously evidenced such Credit Loans.

(d) The Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Assignees, and the principal amount of the Credit Loans owing to each Assignee from time to time (the Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Borrower, each Lender, and any Assignees may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as an Assignee for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor, -the Lenders, and any Assignee, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) If, pursuant to this Section 16, any interest in this Agreement is assigned to any Assignee that is not incorporated or organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, such Assignee shall agree that, if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent: (i) two valid, duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Assignee is entitled to receive payments made under this Agreement and the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) a valid, duly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

(f) Each Lender may sell to one or more Persons, so long as such Person is not a Competitor (each, a Participant) a participation of such Lender's interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of the Credit Loan(s)), provided that: (i) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) such Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the indemnification and cost protection provisions in Section 2 and the right to set off contained in Section 11; and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such selling Lender in connection with its rights and obligations under this Agreement. All amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation.
