- 4 -

 
 
(a)           At 11:33 a.m. on October 10, 2012, the time of the first contract of sale by the Initial Purchasers for any Notes (the “Time of Sale”), none of the Additional Disclosure Documents or the Preliminary Offering Memorandum contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) the Offering Memorandum, as of its date (including any attachments, supplements or amendments thereto, as of the respective dates thereof), did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), that such representations and warranties do not apply to statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Initial Purchaser Information or the information set forth in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum under the heading “Structuring Assumptions”.  The statements made in the “Structuring Assumptions” section of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum represent the good faith estimate of the Issuer, based on assumptions that the Issuer believes to be reasonable, it being recognized, however, that such “Structuring Assumptions” sections, as expressly noted therein, contain projections, estimates and forecasts which are subject to significant contingencies and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Issuer, and no assurances are given that such projections, estimates and forecasts will be achieved.

There has been no material adverse change in the delinquency, loss, utilization and other information with respect to the Managed Containers or the Fleet from that set forth in the Additional Disclosure Documents, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum.
 
(d)           Each of the Issuer and CAL is duly incorporated or organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has full power and authority to own its properties, if any, and to conduct its business as such properties presently are owned and the business presently is conducted. The Issuer had at all relevant times, and now has, all necessary power, authority and legal right to own in the manner contemplated by the Series 2012-1 Related Documents, the Managed Containers and the Related Transferred Assets.  CAL had at all relevant times, and now has, all necessary power, authority and legal right to transfer, in the manner contemplated by the Series 2012-1 Related Documents, the Managed Containers and the Related Transferred Assets.

(e)            Each of the Issuer and CAL is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign entity (or is exempt from such requirements), and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals as required under Applicable Law, in each case, where the failure so to qualify, to be in good standing, to obtain such licenses and approvals or to preserve and maintain such qualification, licenses or approvals could have a material and adverse effect on its ability to perform any of its obligations under any Series 2012-1 Related Document to which it is a party.
 
(f)            The Issuer has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver the Notes. Each Note has been duly and validly authorized by the Issuer and, from and after the date on which such Note is executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Series 2012-1 Supplement and delivered to and paid for by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be validly issued and outstanding and shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Issuer, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and the Series 2012-1 Supplement and enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a Proceeding in equity or at law.
 
(g)           Each of the Issuer and CAL has (i) all necessary power and authority to (A) execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents to which it is a party, and (B) perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents to which it is a party, and (ii) duly authorized, by all necessary action, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions provided for in this Agreement and the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents to which it is a party.
 
(h)           Each of this Agreement and the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents to which the Issuer and/or CAL is a party, when executed and delivered by it (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto), shall constitute its legal, valid and binding agreement, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms thereof, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a Proceeding in equity or at law.
 
(i)            This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each of the Issuer and CAL.
 
(j)            All authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of, or other action by, any Governmental Authority or any other Person that are required to be obtained by the Issuer or CAL, as the case may be, and all notices to and filings with any Governmental Authority or any other Person that are required to be made by the Issuer or CAL, in the case of each of the foregoing in connection with the due execution, delivery, and performance by the Issuer of this Agreement and the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Series 2012-1 Related Documents to which it is a party (including transfers to the Issuer of the Managed Containers and the Related Transferred Assets), have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect except where the failure to obtain or make any such authorization, consent, order, approval, action, notice or filing, individually or in the aggregate for all such failures, would not reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer or CAL, to perform any of its obligations under any Series 2012-1 Related Document to which it is a party.

(k)           The execution, delivery and performance of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof by the Issuer do not (i) conflict with, violate, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, (A) the constitutional or organizational documents of the Issuer or CAL, as the case may be, or (B) any material contract, indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or CAL is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its properties is bound, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties of the Issuer or CAL (other than as contemplated by the Series 2012-1 Related Documents), or (iii) conflict with or violate any federal, state, local or foreign law or any decision, decree, order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Issuer or CAL, as the case may be, or any of its respective properties, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), which conflict, violation, breach, default or Lien, individually or in the aggregate, would have a substantial likelihood of having a material and adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer or CAL, as the case may be, to perform any of its obligations under any Series 2012-1 Related Document to which it is a party.
 
(l)            Except as disclosed in the Additional Disclosure Documents, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, since September 13, 2012 (the date of Issuer's incorporation), (i) there has been no material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Issuer, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) there have been no transactions entered into by the Issuer that are material with respect to the Issuer and that would be required to be disclosed under Applicable Law in connection with the offering, sale or resale of the Notes.
 
(m)           There is no Proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Issuer or CAL, as the case may be, threatened against it before any court, regulatory body, arbitrator, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality, and none of the Issuer or CAL is subject to any order, judgment, decree, injunction, stipulation or consent order of or with any court or other Governmental Authority that (i) asserts the invalidity of this Agreement or any other Series 2012-1 Related Document, (ii) seeks to prevent any transfer to the Issuer of any Managed Container or Related Transferred Asset, the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Series 2012-1 Related Document, (iii) seeks any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Issuer or CAL of its respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Series 2012-1 Related Document or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Series 2012-1 Related Document, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), which individually or in the aggregate for all such actions, suits, Proceedings, investigations, orders, judgments, decrees, injunctions, stipulations or consent orders would have a substantial likelihood of having a material and adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer or CAL to perform any of its respective obligations under any Series 2012-1 Related Document to which it is a party.
 
 
- 7 -

 
 
(n)           Neither this Agreement, the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents nor any transaction contemplated herein or therein or in the Additional Disclosure Documents, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum results in a violation of, or gives rise to an obligation on the part of any Noteholder or Note Owner to register, file or give notice under, Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board or any other regulation issued by the Federal Reserve Board pursuant to the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the Closing Date.

(q)           Neither the Issuer nor any of its Affiliates or any Person acting on its behalf has engaged in any directed selling efforts (as that term is defined in Regulation S) with respect to any Notes (provided that no representation is made as to the actions of the Initial Purchasers or any Person acting on its behalf). The Issuer and its Affiliates and any Person acting on its behalf (provided that no representation is made as to the actions of the Initial Purchasers or any Person acting on its behalf) have complied with the offering restrictions and the requirements of Regulation S in connection with any offering of Notes outside the United States.
 
(r)            Assuming the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers in Section 9 hereof are true, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Additional Disclosure Documents, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum to register any of the Notes under the Act or to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

(b)           Each of the Issuer and CAL acknowledges and agrees that each Initial Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Issuer with respect to the offering of the Notes contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Issuer or any other Person.  Additionally, the Initial Purchasers are advising the Issuer or any other Person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction.  Each of the Issuer and CAL shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Initial Purchasers shall have responsibility or liability to the Issuer or any other Person with respect thereto. Any review by the Initial Purchasers of the Issuer or CAL, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Initial Purchasers and shall not be on behalf of the Issuer, CAL or any other party.

No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
 
(d)           If the indemnity provided for in Section 10(a) or (b) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses referred to in Section 10(a) or (b), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by Applicable Law, not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission that resulted in such Losses.  The relative benefits received by the Issuer Indemnified Parties on the one hand and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers with respect to the offering.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by any Issuer Indemnified Party on the one hand, or any Purchaser Indemnified Party on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Losses referred to above in this Section 10(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(d), no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 12.           Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Initial Purchasers by notice to the Issuer or CAL, as the case may be, given on or prior to the Closing Date in the event that (A) the Issuer or CAL shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or (B) there shall have occurred any of the events or conditions set forth in Section 8(h) hereof.  Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12 shall be without liability of any party to any other party; provided that the respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in this Section 12 and in Sections 7, 10, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26 and 27 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement.

Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents shall not be construed against the Initial Purchasers merely because of the Initial Purchasers’ involvement in the preparation of this Agreement and the other Series 2012-1 Related Documents.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any other document, agreement or understanding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Series 2012-1 Related Documents, each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) is authorized to disclose to any and all persons, beginning immediately upon commencement of discussions regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal, state or local tax treatment and tax structure of such transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party (or any employee, representative, or other agent of such party) to the extent related to such tax treatment and tax structure.  However, any information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the parties hereto, their respective Affiliates, and their respective Affiliates’ directors and employees to comply with applicable securities laws.  For purposes of this authorization, the “tax treatment” of a transaction means the purported or claimed tax treatment of the transaction, and the “tax structure” of a transaction means any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed tax treatment of the transaction contemplated by the Series 2012-1 Related Documents.  None of the parties to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement provides U.S. tax advice, and each party should consult its own advisors regarding its participation in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
