Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 14, 2005,  RFH,  Ltd.  ("RFH") asked for a short  postponement  and the
Registrant agreed to postpone until April 19, 2005 the closing date for the sale
of all, or  substantially  all, of the Registrant's  assets.  This delay follows
RFH's previous request for a postponement  until April 15. This first request by
RFH was described in a Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 5, 2005.

The current  request for a  postponement  is due to a lawsuit filed on April 11,
2005,  which is  described  below  under Item 8.01.  The filing of this  lawsuit
affects the  Registrant's  and RFH's rights and obligations  under the agreement
(the  "Asset  Sale  Agreement")  they  signed  for the sale of the  Registrant's
assets.  As  described  in  the  8-K  regarding  RFH's  earlier  request  for  a
postponement,  a condition to the  completion of the sale is that the Registrant
and/or its  assets,  as well as RFH,  not be the  subject  of  certain  kinds of
litigation.  Both the Registrant and RFH are now the subject of such litigation,
due to two  lawsuits  filed in March and due to the  lawsuit  described  in this
report.  (The earlier lawsuits are described in the Registrant's  report on Form
10-K  filed  with  the  Commission  on  March  30,  2005.)  Therefore,  both the
Registrant  and RFH must  waive  the  conditions  in the  Asset  Sale  Agreement
regarding the absence of litigation and any related  consequences.  Furthermore,
RFH is using a loan to pay part of the purchase  price for the  containers,  and
RFH's lender must agree to proceed with the loan in spite of the litigation.

The  postponement  was  granted  to give  RFH and its  lender  time to  consider
whether, in light of the new lawsuit, they wish to proceed with the sale and the
loan, and to waive any conditions in the  underlying  agreements  related to the
absence of litigation. The Registrant has already determined to proceed with the
sale and has agreed to waive any  conditions  that can no longer be met,  due to
the unresolved lawsuits.

Certain  relationships  between RFH, the Registrant's general partners and other
limited  partnerships  managed by the general  partners and their affiliates are
described  in the  report on Form 8-K,  filed with the  Commission  on March 22,
2005,  which  information  is  herein  incorporated  by  reference.   Additional
information  regarding  past  contacts  and  business  transactions  between the
general  partners and the  shareholders  of RFH are described under the caption,
"Past Contacts,  Transactions and Negotiations Between the Partnership and RFH,"
on pages 26 to 27 of the  Registrant's  Proxy  Statement for Special  Meeting of
Limited  Partners,  filed  with  the  Commission  on  January  20,  2005,  which
information is herein incorporated by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 11,  2005,  a lawsuit was filed in the San  Francisco  County  Superior
Court, Case No.  CGC-05-440303,  captioned  "Leonard Labow, on behalf of himself
and all others similarly  situated,  Plaintiffs v. Textainer  Financial Services
Corporation;   Textainer  Equipment   Management  Limited;   Textainer  Limited;
Textainer  Capital  Corporation;  Textainer  Group  Holdings  Limited;  John  A.
Maccarone;  and RFH,  Ltd.,  TCC  Equipment  Income Fund,  a California  limited
partnership;  Textainer  Equipment  Income Fund II,  L.P.;  Textainer  Equipment
Income Fund III,  L.P.,  Textainer  Equipment  Income Fund IV,  L.P.;  Textainer
Equipment Income Fund V, L.P., Textainer Equipment Income Fund VI, L.P., Nominal
Defendants."  The suit seeks  certification  as a class  action on behalf of the
unit  holders  of  the  Registrant  and  the  other  partnerships  named  in the
complaint.  The complaint  alleges that the sale of the  Registrant's  assets is
fundamentally unfair because (i) the sale is a product of a bidding process that
excluded  bidders  unwilling  to  agree  to  the  continued  management  of  the
containers by one of the general  partners;  and (ii) the assets are undervalued
in that the price to be paid does not reflect  current  market  conditions.  The
complaint  further alleges that the proxy statements used to solicit the limited
partners'  approval for the sale  included  material  misstatements  of fact and
omitted to state  material facts  necessary to make the  statements  therein not
misleading.  The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duties due to the facts
that  (i)  solicitation  of bids for the sale  was  conditioned  on the  buyer's
acceptance of a management  agreement  with one of the general  partners for the
assets  to be sold,  which  condition  is  alleged  to have  deterred  competing
container leasing companies from biding for the assets,  (ii) the purchase price
for the containers was to be adjusted downward during a time when the prices for
used containers are alleged to have been increasing and (iii) all material facts
concerning  a  transaction  in  which  some of the  defendants  had a  financial
interest  were not  disclosed.  RFH is alleged to have aided and  abetted  these
breaches of fiduciary duty.

The  plaintiff  seeks  damages  in  an  unspecified  amount,   pre-judgment  and
post-judgment interest,  reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees, and costs. The
plaintiff  also  requests  that the assets sold,  as well as the proceeds of the
sale, be placed in a constructive  trust, and that a constructive  trust also be
placed on any fees  received  from RFH by one of the  general  partners  for the
management of the containers to be sold.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 14, 2005,  RFH,  Ltd.  ("RFH") asked for a short  postponement  and the
Registrant agreed to postpone until April 19, 2005 the closing date for the sale
of all, or  substantially  all, of the Registrant's  assets.  This delay follows
RFH's previous request for a postponement  until April 15. This first request by
RFH was described in a Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 5, 2005.

The current  request for a  postponement  is due to a lawsuit filed on April 11,
2005,  which is  described  below  under Item 8.01.  The filing of this  lawsuit
affects the  Registrant's  and RFH's rights and obligations  under the agreement
(the  "Asset  Sale  Agreement")  they  signed  for the sale of the  Registrant's
assets.  As  described  in  the  8-K  regarding  RFH's  earlier  request  for  a
postponement,  a condition to the  completion of the sale is that the Registrant
and/or its  assets,  as well as RFH,  not be the  subject  of  certain  kinds of
litigation.  Both the Registrant and RFH are now the subject of such litigation,
due to two  lawsuits  filed in March and due to the  lawsuit  described  in this
report.  (The earlier lawsuits are described in the Registrant's  report on Form
10-K  filed  with  the  Commission  on  March  30,  2005.)  Therefore,  both the
Registrant  and RFH must  waive  the  conditions  in the  Asset  Sale  Agreement
regarding the absence of litigation and any related  consequences.  Furthermore,
RFH is using a loan to pay part of the purchase  price for the  containers,  and
RFH's lender must agree to proceed with the loan in spite of the litigation.

The  postponement  was  granted  to give  RFH and its  lender  time to  consider
whether, in light of the new lawsuit, they wish to proceed with the sale and the
loan, and to waive any conditions in the  underlying  agreements  related to the
absence of litigation. The Registrant has already determined to proceed with the
sale and has agreed to waive any  conditions  that can no longer be met,  due to
the unresolved lawsuits.

Certain  relationships  between RFH, the Registrant's general partners and other
limited  partnerships  managed by the general  partners and their affiliates are
described  in the  report on Form 8-K,  filed with the  Commission  on March 22,
2005,  which  information  is  herein  incorporated  by  reference.   Additional
information  regarding  past  contacts  and  business  transactions  between the
general  partners and the  shareholders  of RFH are described under the caption,
"Past Contacts,  Transactions and Negotiations Between the Partnership and RFH,"
on pages 26 to 27 of the  Registrant's  Proxy  Statement for Special  Meeting of
Limited  Partners,  filed  with  the  Commission  on  January  20,  2005,  which
information is herein incorporated by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 11,  2005,  a lawsuit was filed in the San  Francisco  County  Superior
Court, Case No.  CGC-05-440303,  captioned  "Leonard Labow, on behalf of himself
and all others similarly  situated,  Plaintiffs v. Textainer  Financial Services
Corporation;   Textainer  Equipment   Management  Limited;   Textainer  Limited;
Textainer  Capital  Corporation;  Textainer  Group  Holdings  Limited;  John  A.
Maccarone;  and RFH,  Ltd.,  TCC  Equipment  Income Fund,  a California  limited
partnership;  Textainer  Equipment  Income Fund II,  L.P.;  Textainer  Equipment
Income Fund III,  L.P.,  Textainer  Equipment  Income Fund IV,  L.P.;  Textainer
Equipment Income Fund V, L.P., Textainer Equipment Income Fund VI, L.P., Nominal
Defendants."  The suit seeks  certification  as a class  action on behalf of the
unit  holders  of  the  Registrant  and  the  other  partnerships  named  in the
complaint.  The complaint  alleges that the sale of the  Registrant's  assets is
fundamentally unfair because (i) the sale is a product of a bidding process that
excluded  bidders  unwilling  to  agree  to  the  continued  management  of  the
containers by one of the general  partners;  and (ii) the assets are undervalued
in that the price to be paid does not reflect  current  market  conditions.  The
complaint  further alleges that the proxy statements used to solicit the limited
partners'  approval for the sale  included  material  misstatements  of fact and
omitted to state  material facts  necessary to make the  statements  therein not
misleading.  The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duties due to the facts
that  (i)  solicitation  of bids for the sale  was  conditioned  on the  buyer's
acceptance of a management  agreement  with one of the general  partners for the
assets  to be sold,  which  condition  is  alleged  to have  deterred  competing

concerning  a  transaction  in  which  some of the  defendants  had a  financial
interest  were not  disclosed.  RFH is alleged to have aided and  abetted  these
breaches of fiduciary duty.

The  plaintiff  seeks  damages  in  an  unspecified  amount,   pre-judgment  and
post-judgment interest,  reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees, and costs. The
plaintiff  also  requests  that the assets sold,  as well as the proceeds of the
sale, be placed in a constructive  trust, and that a constructive  trust also be
placed on any fees  received  from RFH by one of the  general  partners  for the
management of the containers to be sold.
