THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2, dated as of October 10, 2014 (this “Amendment”), to the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of August 12, 2011 (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), is entered into by TAL Advantage III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee have previously entered into the Indenture; and
WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to amend certain provisions of the Indenture relating to concentration limits and sales of Containers by the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of the Requisite Global Majority, has been directed to execute and deliver this Amendment;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1.    Defined Terms. Unless otherwise amended by the terms of this Amendment, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned in the Indenture.
SECTION 2.    Amendments to Indenture. Effective as of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 4 below), the Indenture is hereby amended as follows:
(i)The penultimate paragraph of clause (a) of Section 606 of the Indenture is deleted and replaced with the following:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations of this Section 606(a), the Issuer may sell Managed Containers to the Seller in order to permit the Issuer to refinance Indebtedness in an amount of at least Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) incurred by the Issuer pursuant to this Indenture on no more than twelve (12) occasions in any calendar year subject to satisfaction of all of the following conditions:
(A)    no Event of Default, Early Amortization Event or Asset Base Deficiency is then continuing or would result from such sale, after giving effect to such sale and any required prepayment of the Notes;
(B)    the Sales Proceeds received by the Issuer from such sale is an amount in cash that is not less than the greater of (i) the sum of the Fair Market Values of the sold Managed Containers, and (ii) the sum of the Net Book Value of the sold Managed Containers; provided however, that, if a Series of Warehouse Notes is then Outstanding and the Conversion Date for such Series of Warehouse Notes has not occurred, without limiting or modifying the conditions in clause (A) above, the Sale Proceeds for such sale of Managed Containers may, at the option of the Issuer, be paid by the Seller as follows:





(x)    cash in an amount not less than the product of (A) the Advance Rate and (B) the sum of the Net Book Values of the sold Managed Containers; and
(y)    an unsecured obligation of the Seller payable in cash on the next succeeding Payment Date in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Sales Proceeds payable pursuant to clause (B) above over (ii) the cash paid pursuant to clause (x) above. If no Early Amortization Event, Manager Default or Asset Base Deficiency is continuing on such Payment Date, such unsecured obligation of the Seller will be distributed on such Payment Date by the Issuer to the Seller as a deemed distribution.
The Issuer may, without limiting or modifying the conditions in clause (A) above, utilize the cash proceeds of such sale of Managed Containers to make a prepayment of the Warehouse Notes on the date of such sale notwithstanding any contrary provisions contained in the Indenture or the Series 2009-1 Supplement, including, without limitation, in the definition of the term “Available Distribution Amount”, or any advance prepayment notice required with respect to the terms of the Warehouse Notes.
(ii)Clause (b) of the definition of the term “Concentration Limits” set forth in Appendix A to the Indenture is amended to read as follows:

Any reference to " Articles 404-410 of the CRR" is deemed to include any successor or replacement provisions included in any subsequent European Union directive or regulation."
(iv)The definition of the term “Retained Interest” shall be set forth in Appendix A to the Indenture and read as follows:

Retained Interest: means a material net economic interest in the Managed Containers of not less than 5 percent of the Aggregate Net Book Value in accordance with the text of the CRR."
(v)The definition of the term “Sanctioned Country” set forth in Appendix A to the Indenture is amended to read as follows:
"Sanctioned Country: A country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions broadly prohibiting dealings with such government, country, or territory, including, without limitation, a country subject to a sanctions program identified on the list maintained by OFAC and available at http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/programs, or as otherwise published from time to time."
