WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Management Investor is the holder of 52,029 unvested restricted shares of common stock of Seacastle (the “Seacastle Restricted Shares”);

 

WHEREAS, the Management Investor desires to exchange the Seacastle Restricted Shares for 30,064 common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), of the Company (the “SeaCube Restricted Shares”), and the Company desires to issue and deliver to the Management Investor the SeaCube Restricted Shares, all as set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, Seacastle desires to cancel the Seacastle Restricted Shares on the date hereof, all as set forth herein and in consideration for the cancellation of the Seacastle Restricted Shares, Seacastle agrees and undertakes to pay on demand US$300.64 to the Company, representing the par value of the SeaCube Restricted Shares (the “Seacastle Payment”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations and warranties and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Exchange of Shares.

 

(a)                                  The Management Investor hereby waives all of his or her right, title and interest, legal or equitable, in and to the Seacastle Restricted Shares and acknowledges and agrees that the Management Investor shall no longer have any rights with respect thereto.

 

(b)                                 In consideration for the Seacastle Payment, the Company hereby agrees to issue and allot to the Management Investor, and the Management Investor hereby accepts, on the date hereof, the SeaCube Restricted Shares, which the Management Investor agrees to take subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Memorandum of Association and the Bye-Laws of the Company.

(b)           Without limiting any of the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, the SeaCube Restricted Shares shall be subject to the following terms:

 

(i)            If other than for death or Disability, the Management Investor’s employment is terminated by CLI without Cause or the Management Investor terminates his employment with CLI for Good Reason, upon the Management Investor’s execution of a general release of claims in a form satisfactory to CLI within sixty (60) days following the date of termination and the expiration of the applicable revocation period, the Management Investor will immediately vest (upon the date that such waiver and general release becomes non-revocable) as the owner of the SeaCube Restricted Shares that would have vested under Section 2(a) on the next succeeding vesting date.

 

(ii)           In the event the Management Investor’s employment is terminated by CLI other than for Cause or the Management Investor terminates his employment with CLI for Good Reason within twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, upon the Management Investor’s execution of a general release of claims in a form satisfactory to CLI within sixty (60) days following the date of termination, and the expiration of the applicable revocation period, the Management Investor will immediately vest as the owner of all SeaCube Restricted Shares that have not theretofore vested prior to the date of such termination.

 

(iii)          Except as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2(b), all of the unvested SeaCube Restricted Shares shall be automatically forfeited upon the Management Investor ceasing to be an employee of CLI and its affiliates for any reason.

 

(iv)          For purposes of clarification, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Management Investor will have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to all of the SeaCube Restricted Shares granted hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares (subject to Section 2(b)(vi) below) and the right to receive all dividends or other distributions with respect to such shares, both prior to and after the lapse and removal of the vesting restrictions set forth herein.

 

(v)           The SeaCube Restricted Shares granted hereunder shall be registered in the Management Investor’s name, but the certificates evidencing such SeaCube Restricted Shares shall be retained by the Company during the period prior to the vesting of such shares as set forth herein.  The Management Investor shall execute a share transfer in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, in blank, with respect to such SeaCube

(vi)                              To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Management Investor hereby appoints Operating as the Management Investor’s proxy with respect to all unvested SeaCube Restricted Shares of which the Management Investor may be the record holder from time to time to (A) attend all meetings of the holders of the Common Shares, with full power to vote and act for the Management Investor with respect to such SeaCube Restricted Shares in the same manner and extent that the Management Investor might were the Management Investor personally present at such meetings, and (B) execute and deliver, on behalf of the Management Investor, any written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of the Common Shares in the same manner and extent that the Management Investor might but for the proxy granted pursuant to this sentence.  The proxy hereby granted by the Management Investor is coupled with an interest and is, and shall be, irrevocable by the Management Investor until any such unvested SeaCube Restricted Shares vest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in which case such proxy shall automatically terminate with respect to such vested SeaCube Restricted Shares.  Operating shall have full power to substitute another person as the Management Investor’s proxy and to revoke the appointment of any such substitute proxy.  Concurrently herewith, the Management Investor is hereby executing and delivering to the Company an irrevocable proxy in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, and the Management Investor hereby agrees that the Management Investor shall execute and deliver any further instrument, and take all other actions, reasonably requested by Operating from time to time to evidence or otherwise give effect to the provisions of this Section 2(b)(vi).

 

(c)                                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the SeaCube Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered (each such action, a “Transfer”) until the applicable restrictions set forth herein are removed or expire or are expressly waived by the Company in writing, and any additional requirements or restrictions contained in this Agreement have been satisfied, terminated or expressly waived by the Company in writing.

3.                                       Management Investor Representations; Legends on Certificates.

 

(a)                                  Investment Risk.  The Management Investor represents and acknowledges that:  (i) as a result of the Management Investor’s (A) existing relationship with the Company and (B) experience in financial matters, the Management Investor is properly able (on his/her own) to evaluate the capital structure of the Company and its subsidiaries, the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and the risks inherent therein; (ii) the Management Investor has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents from and to ask questions, and receive answers of, the officers and representatives of the Company and its subsidiaries to the extent necessary to evaluate the merits and risks related to an investment in the Company; (iii) the Management Investor has been and will be, to the extent the Management Investor deems necessary, advised by legal counsel of the Management Investor’s choice at Management Investor’s expense in connection with this Agreement; and (iv) the acquisition of the SeaCube Restricted Shares hereunder will be consistent, in both nature and amount, with the Management Investor’s overall investment program and financial condition, and the Management Investor’s financial condition will be such that the Management Investor will be able to bear the economic risk of holding unregistered Common Shares for which there is no market and to suffer a complete loss of the Management Investor’s investment therein.  The Management Investor further acknowledges that investment in the SeaCube Restricted Shares involves significant risks and that these risks include, without limitation, the fact that the Company has a leveraged financial structure.

 

(b)                                 Investment.

 

(i)                                    The Management Investor represents and warrants that:  (A) the SeaCube Restricted Shares will be acquired for the Management Investor’s own account for investment, without any present intention of selling or further distributing the same, and the Management Investor will not have any reason to anticipate any change in the Management Investor’s circumstances or any other particular occasion or event which would cause the Management Investor to sell any of such Common Shares; and (B) the Management Investor is fully aware that in agreeing to issue such Common Shares to the Management Investor the Company will be relying upon the truth and accuracy of these representations and warranties.  The Management Investor agrees that he or she will not Transfer any Common Shares held by such Management Investor prior to an IPO, except

 

7



 

in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Any such Transfer must be in compliance with the Act, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, the relevant state securities laws applicable to the Management Investor’s action, the bye-laws of the Company, Bermuda law and the terms of this Agreement.

 

(ii)                                 The Management Investor acknowledges that no trading market for the Common Shares exists currently and may not exist at any time in the future (if at all) and that, as a result, the Management Investor may be unable to sell any of the Common Shares acquired hereunder for an indefinite period.  Further, the Company has no obligation to register any of the Common Shares for sale or resale under the Act or any other applicable law (including any “blue sky” law).

 

(iii)                              The Management Investor acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein, including the opportunity to make an investment in the Company, shall be deemed to create any implication concerning the adequacy of the Management Investor’s services to CLI, the Company or any of their respective affiliates, nor shall be construed as an agreement by CLI, the Company or any of their respective affiliates, express or implied, to (A) employ the Management Investor or contract for the Management Investor’s services or (B) restrict the right of CLI to discharge the Management Investor or cease contracting for the Management Investor’s services or (C) modify, extend or otherwise affect in any manner whatsoever the terms of any employment agreement or contract for services which may exist (on the date hereof or in the future) between the Management Investor and the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

4.                                       Notices.  All notices or other communications under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed duly given and received on the third full business day following the day of the mailing thereof by registered or certified mail or when delivered personally or sent by facsimile transmission as follows:

 

(a)                                  if to CLI, at its principal executive offices at the time of the giving of such notice, or at such other place as CLI shall have designated by notice as herein provided to the Management Investor;

 

(b)                                 if to the Management Investor, at the address of the Management Investor as it appears on the signature page to this Agreement or at such other place as the Management Investor shall have designated by notice as herein provided to the Company;

Nardone, or at such other place as such person shall have designated by notice as herein provided to the Management Investor.

 

8



 

5.                                       Specific Performance, Forfeiture, Right to Repurchase.

 

(a)                                  Specific Performance.  Due to the fact that the securities of the Company cannot be readily purchased or sold in the open market and because damages to the Company and its affiliates will be difficult to ascertain and remedies at law to the Company and its affiliates will be inadequate and for other reasons, the parties will be irreparably damaged in the event that this Agreement is not specifically enforced.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the terms, covenants and/or conditions of this Agreement by any of the parties hereto, the other parties shall, in addition to all other remedies, be entitled (without any bond or other security being required) to a temporary and/or permanent injunction, without showing any actual damage or that monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy, and/or a decree for specific performance, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

(b)                                 Forfeiture, Right to Repurchase.  The Management Investor acknowledges that if (x) the Management Investor breaches any term or condition contained in Section 2 or 3 of the Employment Agreement, or any other noncompetition or other restrictive covenant then applicable to the Management Investor, and (y) the Company provides the Management Investor with written notice of such breach: all of the SeaCube Restricted Shares that have not vested prior to the date of such notice shall be automatically forfeited, and be deemed to have been repurchased by the Company at a purchase price of zero dollars, upon the giving of such notice.

 

6.                                       Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement signed by the Company, Seacastle, CLI, Operating and the Management Investor.

 

(b)                                 In the event any capital stock of the Company or any other corporation shall be distributed on, with respect to, or in exchange for Common Shares of the Company as a stock (or share) dividend, stock (or share) split, spin-off, reclassification or recapitalization in connection with any merger, amalgamation, continuation into another jurisdiction or reorganization, the restrictions, rights and options set forth in this Agreement shall apply with respect to such other capital stock to the same extent as they are, or would have been applicable, to the Common Shares acquired hereunder on, or with respect to, which such other capital stock was distributed.

 

(c)                                  No waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall be considered valid unless in writing, and no such waiver shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the same or similar nature.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any waiver, consent or other instrument under or pursuant to this Agreement signed by, or binding upon, the Management Investor shall be valid and binding upon any and all persons or entities (other than the Company and its affiliates) who may, at any time, have or claim any rights under or pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the SeaCube Restricted Shares.

 

(d)                                 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, Seacastle, Operating, CLI and their respective affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns and the Management Investor and the Management Investor’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed as granting the Management Investor

the right to Transfer any of the SeaCube Restricted Shares, except in accordance with this Agreement and any transferee shall hold the SeaCube Restricted Shares having only those rights and being subject to the restrictions provided for in this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  Any provision hereof that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law that may render any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

 

(f)                                    Should any party to this Agreement be required to commence any litigation concerning any provision of this Agreement or the rights and duties of the parties hereunder, the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by reason of such litigation.

 

(g)                                 The section headings contained herein are for the purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the contents of said sections.

(i)                                     This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement, and all signatures need not appear on any one counterpart.

 

(j)                                     The Management Investor agrees that, subsequent to any termination of his employment, he will continue to cooperate with the Company and CLI in the prosecution and/or defense of any claim in which the Company or CLI may have an interest (with the right of reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred) which may include, without limitation, being available to participate in any proceeding involving the Company or CLI, permitting interviews with representatives of the Company or CLI, appearing for depositions and trial testimony, and producing and/or providing any documents or names of other persons with relevant information in the Management Investor’s possession or control arising out of his employment in a reasonable time, place and manner.

 

(k)                                  The Management Investor hereby irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to its obligations or liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York or in the courts of the State of New York, sitting in New York County and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Management Investor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby (i) irrevocably
