EXHIBIT B

DEPRECIATION METHODS BY TYPE OF CONTAINER

 

1. For purposes of any calculation of the Asset Base:

(a) a new Managed Container is depreciated using the straight-line method, over its estimated useful life of twelve (12) years to an estimated residual value of twenty-eight percent (28%) of the Original Equipment Cost of such Managed Container.

(b) a used Managed Container is depreciated based upon its remaining useful life at the date of acquisition (based upon a total useful life of twelve (12) years) to an estimated residual value determined at the date of acquisition as equal to twenty-eight percent (28%) of the Original Equipment Costs of Managed Containers that are then the same age as such used Managed Container.

 

2. For any purpose other than that described in item 1 above, including without limitation the calculation of financial covenants, the preparation of financial reports, and the calculation of the purchase price to be paid for any containers, the Depreciation Policy shall be in accordance with GAAP (provided that any change in the Depreciation Policy, as described in this item 2, resulting from the application of GAAP, or from the requirements of the Issuer’s accountants applying GAAP, shall be deemed not to constitute a change to the Depreciation Policy under any of the Related Documents).
