Revolving Credit Facilities

Revolving credit facilities consist of the following:

(i) The Company has a revolving line of credit agreement with a consortium of banks to finance the acquisition of assets and for general working capital purposes. As of June 30, 2012, the maximum credit commitment under the revolving line of credit was $465.0 million.  
 
The Company's revolving credit facility may be increased up to a maximum of $475.0 million under certain conditions described in the agreement governing the facility. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the unused amount of the total commitment, payable quarterly in arrears. The agreement provides that swing line loans (short-term borrowings of up to $10.0 million in the aggregate that are payable within 10 business days or at maturity date, whichever comes earlier) and standby letters of credit (up to $15.0 million in the aggregate) will be available to the Company. These credit commitments are part of, and not in addition to, the total commitment provided under the agreement. The interest rates vary depending upon whether the loans are characterized as Base Rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans, as defined in the revolving credit agreement.  As of June 30, 2012, the average interest rate under the amended agreement was 3.0%. The agreement governing the Company's revolving credit facility contains various financial and other covenants.

The agreement under the Company's revolving credit facility will terminate on September 25, 2014.

The Company's revolving credit facility, including any amounts drawn on the facility, is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company (not otherwise used as security for its other credit facilities) including the containers owned by the Company, the underlying leases thereon and the Company's interest in any money received under such contracts.

Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a variable rate. The interest rates vary depending upon whether the loans are characterized as Base Rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans, as defined in the revolving credit agreement. For domestic base rate loans, the interest rate is equal to the highest of (i) the daily federal funds open rate as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and (ii) the administrative agent's published "Reference Rate", in each case plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.25% based on certain conditions.  For Eurodollar rate loans, the interest rate is equal to a LIBOR-based rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% based on certain conditions. As of June 30, 2012, the average interest rate under the agreement was 2.7%.
