This MASTER INDENTURE, dated as of July 6, 2011 (as modified, amended or supplemented from time to time by Indenture Supplements, this “Master Indenture”) between TRIP RAIL MASTER FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the issuer of the Equipment Notes hereunder (the “Issuer”), and WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, a Delaware trust company, as indenture trustee for each Series of Equipment Notes (the “Indenture Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee are executing and delivering this Master Indenture in order to provide for the issuance from time to time by the Issuer of the Equipment Notes in one or more Series, the Principal Terms of which shall be specified in one or more Series Supplements to this Master Indenture; and

WHEREAS, except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of the Issuer under the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to this Master Indenture and the other Secured Obligations shall be secured on a pari passu basis by the Collateral further granted and described below;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

GRANTING CLAUSES

The Issuer hereby pledges, transfers, assigns, and otherwise conveys to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit and security of the Noteholders and other Secured Parties, and grants to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit and security of the Noteholders and other Secured Parties a security interest in and Encumbrance on, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest, whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wherever located, in, to and under the assets and property described below (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(a) each Issuer Document, in each case, as such agreements may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (collectively, the “Assigned Agreements”);

(b) (i) all Railcars described on a schedule to a Series Supplement, together with all other Railcars conveyed to the Issuer from time to time, whether pursuant to an Asset Transfer Agreement or otherwise, and any and all substitutions and replacements therefor, (ii) all licenses, manufacturer’s warranties and other warranties, Supporting Obligations (including in respect of any related Lease), Payment Intangibles, Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper (including the Leases described on a schedule to a Series Supplement and any other related Leases of the Railcars and all related Lease Payments), General Intangibles and all other rights and obligations related to any such aforementioned Assigned Agreement, Railcars or Leases, including, without limitation, all rights, powers, privileges, options and other benefits of the Issuer to receive moneys and other property due and to become due under or pursuant to such Assigned Agreements, such Railcars or Leases, including, without limitation, all rights, powers, privileges, options and other benefits to receive and collect rental payments, income, revenues, profits and other amounts, payments, tenders or security (including any cash collateral) from any other party

thereto (including, in the case of related Leases, from the Lessees thereunder), (iii) all rights, powers, privileges, options and other benefits of the Issuer to receive proceeds of any casualty insurance, condemnation award, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to such Assigned Agreements, Railcars or Leases, (iv) all claims of the Issuer for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under any Assigned Agreement or in respect of any related Lease, and (v) the rights, powers, privileges, options and other benefits of the Issuer to perform under each Assigned Agreement and related Lease, to compel performance and otherwise exercise all remedies thereunder and to terminate each Assigned Agreement and related Lease;

(c) all (i) Railroad Mileage Credits allocable to such Railcars and any payments in respect of such credits, (ii) tort claims or any other claims of any kind or nature related to such Railcars and any payments in respect of such claims, (iii) SUBI Certificates evidencing a 100% special unit of beneficial interest in the Trinity Marks related to such Railcars and (iv) other payments owing by any Person (including any railroads or similar entities) in respect of or attributable to such Railcars or the use, loss, damage, casualty, condemnation of such Railcars or the Marks associated therewith, in each case whether arising by contract, operation of law, course of dealing, industry practice or otherwise;

(d) all Indenture Accounts (other than Series Accounts) and all Investment Property therein (including, without limitation, all (i) securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, (ii) Security Entitlements, (iii) Securities Accounts, (iv) commodity contracts and (v) commodity accounts) in which the Issuer has now, or acquires from time to time hereafter, any right, title or interest in any manner, and the certificates or instruments, if any, representing or evidencing such investment property, and all dividends, distributions, return of capital, interest, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such investment property with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any Permitted Investments purchased with funds on deposit in any Indenture Accounts, and all income from the investment of funds therein;

(e) all insurance policies maintained by the Issuer or for its benefit (including, without limitation, all insurance policies maintained by the Manager or the Insurance Manager for the benefit of the Issuer) covering all or any portion of the Collateral, and all payments thereon or with respect thereto;

(f) all other Accounts, Chattel Paper, commercial tort claims (as defined in the UCC), documents (as defined in the UCC), equipment (as defined in the UCC), General Intangibles, Instruments, inventory (as defined in the UCC), letter-of-credit rights (as defined in the UCC), and Supporting Obligations; and

(g) all Proceeds, accessions, profits, products, income benefits, substitutions and replacements, whether voluntary or involuntary, of and to any of the property of the Issuer described in the preceding clauses (including, without limitation, the Issuer’s claims for indemnity thereunder and payments with respect thereto).

Such Security Interests are made in trust and subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Indenture as collateral security for the payment and performance in full by the Issuer of all Outstanding Obligations and for the prompt payment in full by the Issuer of the respective

amounts due and the prompt performance in full by the Issuer of all of its other obligations, in each case, under the Issuer Documents, the Equipment Notes, any Liquidity Facility Documents (except for any Liquidity Facility Documents that are identified in a Series Supplement as being excluded from the Secured Obligations), the Hedge Agreements and the other Operative Agreements to which the Issuer is a party (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”), all as provided in this Master Indenture.

For the avoidance of doubt it is expressly understood and agreed that, to the extent the UCC is revised subsequent to the date hereof such that the definition of any of the foregoing terms included in the description of Collateral is changed, the parties hereto desire that any property which is included in such changed definitions which would not otherwise be included in the foregoing grant on the date hereof be included in such grant immediately upon the effective date of such revision.

The Indenture Trustee acknowledges such Security Interests, accepts the duties created hereby in accordance with the provisions hereof and agrees to hold and administer all Collateral for the use and benefit of all present and future Secured Parties.

The Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes the Indenture Trustee at any time, and from time to time, to file, without the signature of the Issuer, in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction necessary or desirable to perfect the Security Interests granted herein, any initial financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that (i) indicate or describe the Collateral regardless of whether any particular asset constituting Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC in the same manner as described herein or in any other manner as the Indenture Trustee may determine in its sole discretion is necessary or desirable to ensure the perfection of the Security Interests granted herein, or (ii) provide any other information required by Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment, including whether the Issuer is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to the Issuer. The Issuer agrees to furnish the information described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence to the Indenture Trustee promptly upon the Indenture Trustee’s request. Nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to create an obligation of the Indenture Trustee to file any financing statement, continuation statements or amendment thereto.

1. Priority. The Issuer intends the Security Interests in favor of the Indenture Trustee to be prior to all other Encumbrances in respect of the Collateral, and the Issuer has taken and shall take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders and other Secured Parties, a first priority, perfected security interest in the Collateral, to the extent that perfection can be achieved by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement in any UCC jurisdiction and/or other similar filings with the STB. With respect to Leases related to Portfolio Railcars where the Lessee thereunder is a Canadian resident, the Issuer has taken and shall take or cause to be taken all actions necessary or advisable to obtain and maintain, in favor of the Indenture Trustee, a first priority, perfected security interest in the related Railcars including, without limitation, making all such filings, registrations and recordings with the Registrar General of Canada as are necessary or advisable to obtain and maintain a first priority, perfected security interest in such Railcars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be required to make any filings, registrations

or recordation in Mexico or under any Provincial Personal Property Security Act or other non-federal legislation in Canada. The Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights, remedies and recourses with respect to the Collateral afforded a secured party under all applicable law in addition to, and not in limitation of, the other rights, remedies and recourses granted to the Indenture Trustee by this Master Indenture or any law relating to the creation and perfection of security interests in the Collateral.

2. Continuance of Security.

(a) Except as otherwise provided under “Releases” below, the Security Interests created under this Master Indenture shall remain in force as continuing security to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders and other Secured Parties, until the repayment and performance in full of all Secured Obligations, notwithstanding any intermediate payment or satisfaction of any part of the Secured Obligations or any settlement of account or any other act, event or matter whatsoever, and shall secure Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the ultimate balance of the moneys and liabilities hereby secured.

(b) No assurance, security or payment which may be avoided or adjusted under the law, including under any enactment relating to bankruptcy or insolvency and no release, settlement or discharge given or made by the Indenture Trustee on the faith of any such assurance, security or payment, shall prejudice or affect the right of the Indenture Trustee to recover the Secured Obligations from the Issuer (including any moneys which it may be compelled to pay or refund under the provisions of any applicable insolvency legislation of any applicable jurisdiction and any costs payable by it pursuant to or otherwise incurred in connection therewith) or to enforce the Security Interests granted under this Master Indenture to the full extent of the Secured Obligations and accordingly, if any release, settlement or discharge is or has been given hereunder and there is subsequently any such avoidance or adjustment under the law, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that such release, settlement or discharge shall be void and of no effect whatsoever.

(c) If the Indenture Trustee shall have grounds in its absolute discretion acting in good faith for believing that the Issuer may be insolvent pursuant to the provisions of any applicable insolvency legislation in any relevant jurisdiction as at the date of any payment made by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee (provided that the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to inquire or investigate and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of same absent written notice received by a responsible officer of the Indenture Trustee), the Indenture Trustee shall retain the Security Interests contained in or created pursuant to this Master Indenture until the expiration of a period of one month plus such statutory period within which any assurance, security, guarantee or payment can be avoided or invalidated after the payment and discharge in full of all Secured Obligations notwithstanding any release, settlement, discharge or arrangement which may be given or made by the Indenture Trustee on, or as a consequence of, such payment or discharge of liability, provided that, if at any time within such period, the Issuer shall commence a voluntary winding-up or other voluntary case or other proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Issuer or the Issuer’s debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an administrator, a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other

similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property or if the Issuer shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against the Issuer, or making a general assignment for the benefit of any creditor of the Issuer under any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction, the Indenture Trustee shall continue to retain such Security Interest for such further period as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine on advice of counsel and such Security Interest shall be deemed to have continued to have been held as security for the payment and discharge to the Indenture Trustee of all Secured Obligations.

3. No Transfer of Duties. The Security Interests granted hereby are granted as security only and shall not (i) transfer or in any way affect or modify, or relieve the Issuer from, any obligation to perform or satisfy any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or satisfied by the Issuer under or in connection with this Master Indenture or any Issuer Document or any Collateral or (ii) impose any obligation on any of the Secured Parties or the Indenture Trustee to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement or impose any liability on any of the Secured Parties or the Indenture Trustee for any act or omission on the part of the Issuer relative thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Issuer contained therein or made in connection therewith unless otherwise expressly provided therein.

4. Collateral.

(a) Generally. On each Closing Date, all Instruments, Chattel Paper, Securities or other documents, including, without limitation, any Chattel Paper Originals evidencing the Leases described on a schedule to a Series Supplement, and SUBI Certificates, representing or evidencing Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties pursuant hereto all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee. Subject to subsections (c) and (d) under this heading, until the termination of the Security Interest granted hereby, if the Issuer shall acquire (by purchase, contribution, substitution, replacement or otherwise) any additional Collateral evidenced by Instruments or Chattel Paper at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Issuer shall promptly pledge and deposit the Collateral so evidenced as security for the Secured Obligations with the Indenture Trustee and deliver same to the custodial possession of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall accept under this Master Indenture such delivery.

(b) Safekeeping. The Indenture Trustee agrees to maintain the Collateral received by it (including possession of the Chattel Paper Originals) and all records and documents relating thereto at such address or addresses as may from time to time be specified by the Indenture Trustee in writing to each Secured Party and the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall keep all Collateral and related documentation in its possession separate and apart from all other property that it is holding in its possession and from its own general assets and shall maintain accurate records pertaining to the Permitted Investments and Indenture Accounts included in the Collateral in such a manner as shall enable the Indenture Trustee, the Secured Parties and the Issuer to verify the accuracy of such record keeping. The Indenture Trustee’s books and records shall at all times show that to the extent that any Collateral is held by the Indenture Trustee such Collateral shall be held as agent of and custodian for the Secured Parties and is not the property

of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee will promptly report to each Secured Party and the Issuer any failure on its part to hold the Collateral as provided in this subsection and will promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.

(c) Limitation on Non-Severable Mixed Riders. The percentage of Portfolio Railcars in the aggregate (measured by Adjusted Value) contained on Non-Severable Mixed Riders shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Portfolio Railcars in the aggregate (measured by Adjusted Value).

(d) Custody of Leases. At the request of the Issuer from time to time, the parties shall implement a custodial arrangement with respect to Non-Severable Mixed Riders whereby Wilmington Trust Company, as custodian (or any other financial institution or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the parties hereto) will maintain custody of the original of such Non-Severable Mixed Riders for the benefit of the Secured Parties and any owner (other than the Issuer) of a railcar covered by such Non-Severable Rider, as their interests may appear. Such custodial arrangement will be evidenced by a custodial agreement to contain terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.

(e) Notifications. The Indenture Trustee at the expense of the Issuer shall promptly forward to the Issuer and the Manager a copy of each notice, request, report, or other document relating to any Issuer Document included in the Collateral that is received by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee from any Person other than the Issuer or the Manager on and after the Closing Date

(f) Releases. If at any time all or any part of the Collateral is to be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or any Person on its or their behalf (but in any such case only as required or permitted by the Operative Agreements), the Indenture Trustee upon receipt of written notice from the Issuer, which notice shall be delivered at least five (5) Business Days prior to such sale, transfer, assignment or disposal, on or prior to the date of such sale, transfer, assignment or disposal (but not to be effective until the date of such sale, transfer, assignment or disposal) (or, in the case of a Lessee’s exercise of a purchase option, on, immediately prior to or after the date of such purchase, as may be requested by the Issuer), at the expense of the Issuer, execute such instruments of release prepared by the Issuer, in recordable form, if necessary, in favor of the Issuer or any other Person as the Issuer may reasonably request, deliver the relevant part of the Collateral in its possession to the Issuer, otherwise release the Security Interest evidenced by this Master Indenture on such Collateral and release and deliver such Collateral to the Issuer and issue confirmation, to the relevant purchaser, transferee, assignee, insurer, and such other Persons as the Issuer may direct, upon being requested to do so by the Issuer, that the relevant Collateral is no longer subject to the Security Interests. Any such release to the Issuer shall be deemed to release or reassign as appropriate in respect of the Collateral such grants and assignments arising hereunder.

At the request of the Issuer, upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the payment in full in cash of all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Equipment Notes and all actual and contingent amounts (other than inchoate indemnification amounts) payable under the Hedge Agreements, the Indenture Trustee shall release the Security Interests in the Portfolio and the other Collateral hereunder. In connection

therewith, the Indenture Trustee agrees, at the expense of the Issuer and without the necessity of any consent from any Secured Party, to execute such instruments of release, in recordable form if necessary, in favor of the Issuer as the Issuer may reasonably request in respect of the release of such Portfolio and other Collateral from the Security Interests, and to otherwise release the security interests evidenced by this Master Indenture in and with respect to such Collateral to the Issuer and to issue confirmation to such Persons as the Issuer may direct, upon being requested to do so by the Issuer, that such Collateral is no longer subject to the Security Interests.

In connection with an Optional Redemption, concurrently with the deposit of the Redemption Price into the Redemption/Defeasance Account, if such Optional Redemption shall effect a redemption in whole of a Series of Equipment Notes then Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been authorized to permit a release of Collateral in accordance with this paragraph. In order to effect any such Collateral release, the Manager on behalf of the Issuer will identify in a Release Identification Letter a pool of individual Railcars and Leases (i) that were originally acquired by the Issuer on or prior to the issuance date of the Series being redeemed or substituted therefor, and (ii) that if such pool were released from the lien of this Master Indenture, would not result in (A) the Issuer being in violation of the Concentration Limits immediately after such proposed release of Collateral, (B) the Issuer’s remaining portfolio of Railcars immediately after such proposed release of Collateral having an average age which is more than twenty percent (20%) greater than the average age of the Issuer’s portfolio of Railcars immediately prior to such proposed release of Collateral, (C) the Issuer’s remaining portfolio of Leases immediately after such proposed release of Collateral having an average remaining term which is less than eighty percent (80%) of the average remaining term of the Issuer’s portfolio of Leases immediately prior to such proposed release of Collateral, (D) the Book LTV Ratio immediately after such proposed release of Collateral being greater than the Book LTV Ratio immediately prior to such proposed release of Collateral and (E) the Current LTV Ratio immediately after such proposed release of Collateral being greater than the Current LTV Ratio immediately prior to such proposed release of Collateral. For this purpose:

“Release Identification Letter” means a letter from the Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) addressed to the Indenture Trustee that identifies a pool of Railcars and Leases referred to in the preceding paragraph and certifies as to the satisfaction of the conditions in clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively and exclusively on a Release Identification Letter without further investigation in connection with any release contemplated by the preceding paragraph.

“Book LTV Ratio” means, as of any date of determination, a ratio equivalent to a fraction, the numerator of which is the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes as of such date of determination, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Adjusted Value of the Portfolio Railcars as of such date of determination.

“Current LTV Ratio” means, as of any date of determination, a ratio equivalent to a fraction, the numerator of which is the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes as of such date of determination, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Special Appraised Value of the Portfolio Railcars as of such date of determination.

“Special Appraised Value” means the value assigned to the Railcars by Rail Solutions, Inc. or another independent railcar appraiser that is of comparable standing and reputation in the good faith judgment of the Manager, as performed no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the release date and obtained by the Manager at the cost of the Issuer.

5. Exercise of the Issuer’s Rights Concerning the Management Agreement. The Issuer hereby agrees that, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so long as this Master Indenture has not been terminated and the Security Interests on the Collateral released, the Indenture Trustee (acting at the Direction of the Requisite Majority) shall have the exclusive right to exercise and enforce all of the rights of the Issuer set forth in Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.5 (other than the right to propose the list of replacement managers pursuant to Section 8.5(b)) and 8.6 of the Management Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights to deliver all notices, declare a Manager Termination Event, terminate the Management Agreement, elect to replace the Manager and/or elect to appoint a Successor Manager and select any replacement Manager, and the right to increase the Management Fee and/or add an incentive fee payable to any such Successor Manager); provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer shall retain the non-exclusive right to approve the list of proposed replacement Managers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and to deliver notices under Section 8.2 of the Management Agreement and declare a Manager Termination Event thereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the Indenture Trustee as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all rights described in this Granting Clause provision in its place and stead.

Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders, Control Party or Requisite Majority signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement and conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the Person executing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or such other officer and where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or association, trustee of a trust or member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation, association, trust or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such

(c) In determining whether Noteholders, any Control Party or any Requisite Majority shall have given any direction, consent, request, demand, authorization, notice, waiver or other Act (any of the foregoing may be referred to as a “Direction”) under this Master Indenture or any Series Supplement (including without limitation any consent pursuant to Sections 4.04 or 9.02(a) hereof), Equipment Notes legally or beneficially owned by any Issuer Group Member shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for purposes of any such determination. In determining whether the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such Direction, only Equipment Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Persons legally or beneficially own 100% of the Equipment Notes then Outstanding then such Equipment Notes shall not be so disregarded as aforesaid.

(d) The Issuer may at its option, by delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee, set a record date other than the Record Date to determine the Noteholders in respect of the Equipment Notes of any Series entitled to give any Direction in respect of such Equipment Notes. Such record date shall be the record date specified in such Officer’s Certificate which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Noteholders in connection therewith. If such a record date is fixed, such Direction may be given before or after such record date, but only the Noteholders of record of such Series at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Noteholders for the purposes of determining whether Noteholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Equipment Notes of such Series have authorized or agreed or consented to such Direction, and for that purpose the Outstanding Equipment Notes of such Series shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such Direction by the Noteholders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Master Indenture not later than one year after the record date.

(e) Any Direction or other action by a Holder of an Equipment Note (including a Control Party or a Requisite Majority) shall bind the Holder of every Equipment Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Equipment Note.

ARTICLE II

THE EQUIPMENT NOTES

Section 2.01 Authorization, Issuance and Authentication of the Equipment Notes; Amount of Outstanding Principal Balance; Terms; Form; Execution and Delivery.

(a) The number of Series which may be created by this Master Indenture is not limited.

The Equipment Notes shall be issued in such Series as may from time to time be created by Series Supplements pursuant to this Master Indenture and may be issued in such

Classes within a Series as may be authorized by the related Series Supplement for such Series. Each Series shall be created by a separate Series Supplement and shall be identified in a manner sufficient to differentiate the Equipment Notes of each such Series from the Equipment Notes of any other Series. The Equipment Notes of each Series will rank pari passu with the Equipment Notes of each other Series upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and otherwise will be paid in accordance with the Flow of Funds.

(b) Upon satisfaction of and compliance with the requirements and conditions to closing set forth in the related Series Supplement, Equipment Notes of the applicable Series to be executed and delivered on a particular Closing Date pursuant to such Series Supplement may be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication following the execution and delivery of the related Series Supplement creating such Series or from time to time thereafter, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Equipment Notes of such Series upon the Issuer’s request and direction set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer signed by one of its Responsible Officers, without further action on the part of the Issuer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained hereunder or in any Series Supplement, any such authentication may be made on separate counterparts and by facsimile.

(c) There shall be issued, delivered and authenticated on the relevant Closing Date to each of the Noteholders identified on such Equipment Notes, Equipment Notes in the principal amounts and maturities and bearing interest at the Stated Rate, in each case in registered form and substantially in the form set forth in an exhibit to the applicable Series Supplement, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Master Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed, typewritten or engraved thereon, as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange on which such Equipment Notes may be listed or to conform to any usage in respect thereof, or as may, consistently herewith, be prescribed by the Indenture Trustee executing such Equipment Notes, such determination by said Indenture Trustee to be evidenced by its authentication of such Equipment Notes. Definitive Notes of a Series shall be printed, lithographed, typewritten or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Equipment Notes may be listed, all as determined by the Indenture Trustee authenticating such Equipment Notes, as evidenced by such authentication.

(i) Each Series of Equipment Notes (or Class thereof) sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by a single permanent 144A Book-Entry Note which will be deposited with DTC or its custodian, the Indenture Trustee or an agent of the Indenture Trustee and registered in the name of Cede as nominee of DTC.

(ii) Each Series of Equipment Notes (or Class thereof) offered and sold outside of the United States in reliance on Regulation S shall be represented by a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note, which will be deposited with the Indenture Trustee or an agent of the Indenture Trustee as custodian for and registered in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC. Beneficial interests in each Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream; provided, however, that

such interests may be exchanged for interests in a 144A Book-Entry Note or a Definitive Note in accordance with the certification requirements described in Section 2.07 hereof.

(iii) A beneficial owner of an interest in a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note may receive payments in respect of such Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Notes only after delivery to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, of a written certification substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Master Indenture, and upon delivery by Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar of a certification or certifications substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Master Indenture. The delivery by a beneficial owner of the certification referred to above shall constitute its irrevocable instruction to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to arrange for the exchange of the beneficial owner’s interest in the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note for a beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note after the Exchange Date in accordance with the paragraph below.

(iv) Not earlier than the Exchange Date, interests in each Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note will be exchangeable for interests in the related permanent global note (an “Unrestricted Book-Entry Note”). Each Unrestricted Book-Entry Note will be deposited with the Indenture Trustee and registered in the name of Cede as nominee of DTC. After (1) the Exchange Date and (2) receipt by the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar of written instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, directing the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to either Euroclear’s or Clearstream’s, as the case may be, depositary account a beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note in a principal amount not greater than that of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note, the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note and increase the principal amount of the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note, in each case by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of a Direct Participant a beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note having a principal amount equal to the reduction in the principal amount of such Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note.

(v) Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note for beneficial interests in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note, the Indenture Trustee shall cancel the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note in accordance with the Indenture Trustee’s policies in effect from time to time.

(vi) No interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Notes may be held by or transferred to a United States Person except for exchanges for a beneficial interest in a 144A Book-Entry Note or a Definitive Note as described below.

(d) The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Representative of the Issuer.

(e) Each Equipment Note bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of any individual who was at the time such Equipment Note was executed an Authorized Representative of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that any such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes or any payment thereon.

(f) No Equipment Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Master Indenture or the related Series Supplement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless it shall have been executed on behalf of the Issuer as provided in clause (b) and (e) above and authenticated by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee as provided in clause (b) above. Such signatures shall be conclusive evidence that such Equipment Note has been duly executed and authenticated under this Master Indenture and the related Series Supplement. Each Equipment Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Section 2.02 Restrictive Legends. Each 144A Book-Entry Note, each Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note, each Unrestricted Book-Entry Note and each Definitive Note (and all Equipment Notes issued in exchange therefor or upon registration of transfer or substitution thereof) shall bear a legend on the face thereof substantially in the form set forth below (unless counsel to the Issuer advises that a different legend or additional legend is required for any reason):

THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH ABOVE.

BY ITS PURCHASE OF ANY NOTE, THE PURCHASER THEREOF WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED AND WARRANTED EITHER THAT (A) IT IS NOT AND IS NOT USING THE ASSETS OF AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”)) THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE I OF ERISA, A PLAN DEFINED BY AND SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), AN ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS INCLUDE “PLAN ASSETS” BY REASON OF AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN’S OR OTHER PLAN’S INVESTMENT IN SUCH ENTITY, OR A GOVERNMENTAL PLAN, NON-U.S. PLAN OR CHURCH PLAN SUBJECT TO ANY FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR OTHER LAW THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE (“SIMILAR LAW”), OR (B) THE PURCHASE AND HOLDING OF SUCH NOTE WILL NOT RESULT IN A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR A VIOLATION OF SIMILAR LAW.

Section 2.03 Note Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) With respect to each Series of Equipment Notes, there shall at all times be maintained an office or agency in the location set forth in Section 13.04 hereof where Equipment Notes of such Series may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (each, a “Note Registrar”), and for payment thereof (each, a “Paying Agent”) and where notices to or demands upon the Issuer in respect of such Equipment Notes may be served. For so long as any Series of Equipment Notes is listed on any stock exchange, the Issuer shall appoint and maintain a Paying Agent and a Note Registrar in the jurisdiction in which such stock exchange is located. The Issuer shall cause each Note Registrar to keep a register of the Equipment Notes for which it is acting as Note Registrar and of their transfer and exchange (the “Register”). Written notice of the location of each such other office or agency and of any change of location thereof shall be given by the Indenture Trustee to the Issuer and the Holders of the Equipment Notes of such Series. In the event that no such office or agency shall be maintained or no such notice of location or of change of location shall be given, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Master Indenture, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Noteholders shall treat each Person in whose name an Equipment Note is registered as the beneficial owner thereof for all purposes of this Master Indenture. No transfer of an Equipment Note shall be effective unless such transfer has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section.

(b) Each Authorized Agent in the location set forth in Section 13.04 shall be a bank or trust company, shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000 (or having a combined capital and surplus in excess of $5,000,000 and the obligations of which, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $75,000,000) and shall be authorized under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof to exercise corporate trust powers, subject to supervision by Federal or state authorities (such requirements, the “Eligibility Requirements”). The Indenture Trustee shall initially be a Paying Agent and Note Registrar hereunder with respect to the Equipment Notes. Each Note Registrar other than the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee, at stated intervals of not more than six months, and at such other times as the Indenture Trustee may request in writing, a copy of the Register maintained by such Note Registrar.

(c) Any corporation into which any Authorized Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authorized Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authorized Agent, shall be the successor of such Authorized Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authorized Agent or such successor corporation.

(d) Any Authorized Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. The Issuer may, and at the request of the Indenture Trustee shall, at any time terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Indenture Trustee. Upon the resignation or termination of an Authorized Agent or if at any time any such Authorized Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section (when, in either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the functions of such Authorized Agent shall have been appointed by the Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent that has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be eligible under this Section. The Issuer shall give written notice of any such appointment made by it to the Indenture Trustee; and in each case the Indenture Trustee shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of the Equipment Notes of the related Series as their names and addresses appear on the Register for the Equipment Notes of such Series.

(e) The Issuer agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, from time to time reasonable compensation to each Authorized Agent for its services and to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses to be agreed to pursuant to separate agreements with each such Authorized Agent.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Indenture Trustee shall require each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to agree in writing that all moneys deposited with any Paying Agent for the purpose of any payment on the Equipment Notes shall be deposited and held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such payment, subject to the provisions of this Section. Moneys so deposited and held in trust shall constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders with respect to which such money was deposited. No Paying Agent shall hold monies payable by the Issuer to Hedge Providers.

The Indenture Trustee may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Master Indenture or for any other purpose, direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

Section 2.05 Method of Payment.

(a) On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall, or shall instruct a Paying Agent to, pay to the Noteholders of each Series all interest, principal and premium, if any, on the Equipment Notes of such Series required to be paid on such Payment Date, in each case to the extent of the Available Collections Amount and pursuant to the Flow of Funds; provided, that in the event and to the extent receipt of any payment is not confirmed by the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent by noon (New York City time) on such Payment Date or any Business Day thereafter, distribution thereof shall be made on the Business Day following the Business Day such payment is received; and provided further, that payment on a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note shall be made to the Holder thereof only in conformity with Section 2.05(c) hereof. Each such payment on any Payment Date other than the final payment with respect to any Series of Equipment Notes shall be made by the Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent to the Noteholders as of the Record Date for such Payment Date. The final payment with

respect to any Equipment Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Equipment Note by the Noteholder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice given by the Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such final payment.

(b) At such time, if any, as the Equipment Notes of any Series are issued in the form of Definitive Notes, payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Noteholder of a Definitive Note on the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to such Series. Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Indenture Trustee, not later than the applicable Record Date, by a Noteholder of one or more Definitive Notes of such Series having an aggregate original principal amount of not less than $1,000,000, any such payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by such Noteholder at a financial institution in New York, New York; provided that the final payment for each Series of Equipment Notes shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Definitive Notes of such Series by the Noteholder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or agency of the Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice of such final payment given by the Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent. The Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent shall mail such notice of the final payment of such Series to each of the Noteholders of such Series, specifying the date and amount of such final payment.

(c) The beneficial owner of a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note of any Series may arrange to receive interest, principal and premium payments through Euroclear or Clearstream on such Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note only after delivery by such beneficial owner to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, of a written certification substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto, and upon delivery of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to the Paying Agent of a certification or certifications substantially in the form of Exhibit A-4 hereto. No interest, principal or premium shall be paid to any beneficial owner and no interest, principal or premium shall be paid to Euroclear or Clearstream on such beneficial owner’s interest in a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note unless Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, has provided such a certification to the Paying Agent with respect to such interest, principal and/or premium.

Section 2.06 Minimum Denomination. Unless otherwise specified in the Series Supplement for a Series, each Equipment Note shall be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, one Equipment Note of each Class of a Series may be issued with such excess in integral multiples of $1.

Section 2.07 Exchange Option. If the holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Book-Entry Note deposited with DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note, or to transfer its interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note, the holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream and DTC, as the case may be, give directions for the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of the interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar of (a) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream (based on

instructions from depositaries for Euroclear and Clearstream) or from a DTC Participant, as applicable, or DTC, as the case may be, directing the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note equal to the beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note to be exchanged or transferred (such instructions to contain information regarding the DTC Participant account to be credited with the increase, and, with respect to an exchange or transfer of an interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note, information regarding the DTC Participant account to be debited with the decrease), and (b) a certificate in the form of Exhibit A-8, given by the Noteholder (and the proposed transferee, if applicable), the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note to be exchanged or transferred, and the Indenture Trustee shall instruct DTC, concurrently with the reduction, to increase the principal amount of the 144A Book-Entry Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in the instructions a beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note.

If a holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) of a beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note for an interest in a Regulation S Book-Entry Note, or to transfer its interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Note, the holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, give directions for the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of the interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Note. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar of (a) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from a DTC Participant directing the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note to be exchanged or transferred, (b) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the account of the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream or another Clearing Agency Participant, as the case may be, to be credited with the increase and the name of the account and (c) certificates in the forms of Exhibits A-5 and A-7 hereto, respectively, given by the Noteholder and the proposed transferee of the interest, the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce the 144A Book-Entry Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note to be so exchanged or transferred and the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall instruct DTC, concurrently with the reduction, to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Book-Entry Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in the instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the 144A Book-Entry Note.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Initial Purchaser may exchange beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note held by it for interests in the 144A Book-Entry Note only after delivery by the Initial Purchaser of instructions to DTC for the exchange, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-6 hereto. Upon receipt of the instructions provided in the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall instruct DTC

to reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note to be so transferred and shall instruct DTC to increase the principal amount of the 144A Book-Entry Note and credit or cause to be credited to the account of the placement agent a beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note was reduced upon the transfer pursuant to the instructions provided in the first sentence of this paragraph.

If a Book-Entry Note is exchanged for a Definitive Note, such Equipment Notes may be exchanged or transferred for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of the three immediately preceding paragraphs (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that the exchanges or transfers comply with Rule 144 or Regulation S, as the case may be) and as may be from time to time adopted by the Indenture Trustee.

Section 2.08 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes. If any Equipment Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer shall issue, upon the written request of the Holder thereof and presentation of the Equipment Note or satisfactory evidence of destruction, loss or theft thereof to the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar shall deliver in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof, a new Equipment Note of the same Series and Class (if applicable), payable to such Holder in the same principal amount, of the same maturity, with the same payment schedule, bearing the same interest rate and dated the date of its authentication. If the Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Indenture Trustee or a Note Registrar and forwarded to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or such Note Registrar. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the Holder thereof shall furnish to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or a Note Registrar (i) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and such Note Registrar harmless and (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and such Note Registrar of the destruction, loss or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof. The Noteholder will be required to pay any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such exchange or replacement and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee and any Note Registrar) connected therewith.

Section 2.09 Payments of Transfer Taxes. Upon the transfer of any Equipment Note or Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require from the party requesting such new Equipment Note or Equipment Notes payment of a sum to reimburse the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee for, or to provide funds for the payment of, any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Section 2.10 Book-Entry Registration.

(a) Upon the issuance of any Book-Entry Notes, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the individual beneficial interests represented by such Book-Entry Notes to the accounts of a Direct Participant. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Note will be limited to DTC Participants or Persons who hold interests through DTC Participants. Ownership of beneficial

interests in the Book-Entry Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to interests of DTC Participants) and the records of DTC Participants (with respect to interests of Persons other than DTC Participants).

(b) So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of a Book-Entry Note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Noteholder represented by such Book-Entry Note for all purposes under this Master Indenture, the Series Supplements and the Book-Entry Notes. Unless (a) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for a Book-Entry Note with respect to a Series, (b) the Issuer elects to terminate the book-entry system for the Book-Entry Notes with respect to a Series, or (c) an Event of Default has occurred and the Indenture Trustee acting at the Direction of the Control Party for the applicable Series certifies that continuation of a book-entry system through DTC (or a successor) for the Equipment Notes of such Series is no longer in the best interests of the Noteholders of such Series, owners of beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Note of such Series will not be entitled to have any portion of such Book-Entry Note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Equipment Notes in definitive form and will not be considered to be the owners or Noteholders under this Master Indenture, the applicable Series Supplement or the Book-Entry Notes. In addition, no beneficial owner of an interest in a Book-Entry Note will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures (in addition to those under the related Series Supplement, if applicable, and, if applicable, those of Clearstream and Euroclear).

(c) Investors may hold their interest in a Regulation S Book-Entry Note through Clearstream or Euroclear, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. After the Exchange Date, investors also may hold such interests through organizations other than Clearstream and Euroclear that are DTC Participants. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests in a Regulation S Book-Entry Note on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in a Regulation S Book-Entry Note in customers’ accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. Citibank, N.A. will initially act as depositary for Clearstream and Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels Office, will initially act as depositary for Euroclear. Investors may hold their interests in a 144A Book-Entry Note directly through DTC, if they are DTC Participants, or indirectly through organizations that are DTC Participants.

(d) All payments of principal and interest will be made by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuer in immediately available funds or the equivalent, so long as DTC continues to make its Same-Day Funds Settlement System available to the Issuer.

None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such registration instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose name the Definitive Notes are registered in the Register as Noteholders hereunder. Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be liable if the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor Noteholder.

Definitive Notes of a Series will be transferable and exchangeable for Definitive Notes of the same Series at the office of the Indenture Trustee or the office of a Note Registrar upon compliance with the requirements set forth herein. In the case of a transfer of only part of a holding of Definitive Notes, a new Definitive Note shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the part transferred and a new Definitive Note in respect of the balance of the holding not transferred shall be issued to the transferor and may be obtained at the office of the applicable Note Registrar.

(e) Any beneficial interest in one of the Book-Entry Notes of any Series that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Book-Entry Note of the same Series will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Book-Entry Note and become an interest in such other Book-Entry Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Book-Entry Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

(f) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a 144A Book-Entry Note pursuant to Section 2.07 shall bear the Private Placement Legend applicable to a 144A Book-Entry Note set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

(g) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in an Unrestricted Book-Entry Note pursuant to Section 2.07 shall bear the Private Placement Legend applicable to a Unrestricted Book-Entry Note set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

(c) Transfers of Interests in a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note. The following provisions shall apply with respect to registration of any proposed transfer of interests in a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note:

(i) The Note Registrar shall register the transfer of any interest in a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note (x) if the proposed transferee is a Non-U.S. Person and the proposed transferor has delivered to the Note Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-7 hereto or (y) if the proposed transferee is a QIB and the proposed transferor has checked the box provided for on the form of such Equipment Note stating, or has otherwise advised the Issuer and the Note Registrar in writing, that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has advised the Issuer and the Note Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing such Equipment Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account are QIBs within the meaning of Rule 144A, are aware that the sale to them is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledge that they have received such information regarding the Issuer as they have requested pursuant to Rule 144A or have determined not to request such information and that they are aware that the transferor is relying upon their

(ii) If the proposed transferee is a Direct Participant that provides the documents referred to in clause (i)(y) above, upon receipt by the Note Registrar of such documents and instructions given in accordance with DTC’s and the Note Registrar’s procedures, the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the 144A Book-Entry Note of the relevant Series, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note of such Series to be transferred, and the Indenture Trustee shall decrease the amount of the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note of such Series.

(d) Transfers of Interests in an Unrestricted Book-Entry Note. The Note Registrar shall register any transfer of interests in an Unrestricted Book-Entry Note, or a Definitive Note issued in exchange for an interest in a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note or Unrestricted Book-Entry Note in accordance with Section 2.11(b) hereof, to U.S. Persons in accordance with Section 2.07, or to Non-U.S. Persons in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream and their respective participants.

(e) Transfers to Non-U.S. Persons at any Time. With respect to any transfer of an Equipment Note to a Non-U.S. Person prior to the applicable Exchange Date, the Note Registrar shall register any proposed transfer of a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note to a Non-U.S. Person upon receipt of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-7 hereto from the proposed transferor.

(f) ERISA Transfer Restrictions. Each purchaser and subsequent transferee of any Equipment Note will be deemed to have represented and warranted either that (i) it is not and is not using the assets of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, a plan defined by and subject to Section 4975 of the Code, an entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in such entity, or a governmental plan, non-U.S. plan or church plan subject to any federal, state, local or other law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”), or (ii) the purchase and holding of the Equipment Note will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of Similar Law.

By its acceptance of any Equipment Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Equipment Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Equipment Note set forth in this Master Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Equipment Note only as provided in this Master Indenture. The Note Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Equipment Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Equipment Note set forth in this Master Indenture. In connection with any transfer of Equipment Notes, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of its Equipment Notes to furnish the Indenture Trustee the certifications and legal opinions described herein to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided

that the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Issuer with respect to) the sufficiency of any such legal opinions.

Section 2.12 Temporary Definitive Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes of a Series, the Issuer may execute and the Indenture Trustee may authenticate and deliver temporary Definitive Notes of such Series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any denomination, containing substantially the same terms and provisions as are set forth in the applicable exhibit to the related Series Supplement, except for such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations relating to their temporary nature as the Authorized Representative of the Issuer executing such temporary Definitive Notes may determine, as evidenced by his execution of such temporary Definitive Notes.

If temporary Definitive Notes of a Series are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes of such Series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes of such Series, the temporary Definitive Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of such temporary Definitive Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, without charge to the Holder thereof. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Definitive Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor Definitive Notes of the same Series, in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amounts. Until so exchanged, such temporary Definitive Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Master Indenture as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.13 Statements to Noteholders.

(a) With respect to each Collection Period, the Issuer shall, not later than the last Business Day before the Payment Date immediately following the last day of such Collection Period, cause the Administrator to deliver to the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall (or shall instruct any Paying Agent to) promptly thereafter (but not later than such Payment Date) distribute to each Rating Agency, each Hedge Provider and each Liquidity Facility Provider, and to each Holder of record with respect to such Payment Date, a report, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-1 hereto prepared by the Administrator or Manager and setting forth the information described therein (each, a “Monthly Report”).

The Indenture Trustee shall deliver, promptly upon written request, a copy of each Monthly Report and Annual Report to any Holder or other Secured Party and, at the written request of any Holder, to any prospective purchaser of any Equipment Notes from such Holder. If any Series of Equipment Notes is then listed on any stock exchange, the Indenture Trustee also shall provide a copy of each Monthly Report and each Annual Report to the applicable listing agent on behalf of such stock exchange.

(b) After the end of each calendar year but not later than the latest date permitted by law, the Administrator or Manager shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, and the

Indenture Trustee shall (or shall instruct any Paying Agent to) furnish to each Person who at any time during such calendar year was a Noteholder of record of any Equipment Notes, a statement (for example, a Form 1099 or any other means required by law) prepared by the Administrator or Manager containing such information as is required to be provided to such Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to each Series of Equipment Notes for such calendar year or, in the event such Person was a Noteholder of record of any Series during only a portion of such calendar year, for the applicable portion of such calendar year, and such other items as are readily available to the Administrator or Manager and which a Noteholder shall reasonably request as necessary for the purpose of such Noteholder’s preparation of its U.S. federal income or other tax returns. So long as any of the Equipment Notes are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, such report and such other items will be prepared on the basis of such information supplied to the Administrator by DTC and the Direct Participants, and will be delivered by the Indenture Trustee, when received from the Administrator or Manager, to DTC for transfer to the applicable beneficial owners in the manner described above. In the event that any such information has been provided by any Paying Agent directly to such Person through other tax-related reports or otherwise, the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent shall not be obligated to comply with such request for information.

(c) At such time, if any, as the Equipment Notes of any Series are issued in the form of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall prepare and deliver the information described in Section 2.13(b) to each Holder of record of a Definitive Note of such Series for the period of its ownership of such Definitive Note as the same appears on the records of the Indenture Trustee.

(d) Whenever a notice or other communication is required under this Master Indenture to be given to Noteholders of a Series: (i) if any Equipment Notes of such Series are registered with DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, as the case may be; and (ii) if Definitive Notes of a Series have been issued, then the Indenture Trustee shall give notices and communications to the Noteholders of such Definitive Notes by U.S. mail to the addresses of such Noteholders in the Register.

Section 2.14 CUSIP, CINS and ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Equipment Notes may use “CUSIP”, “CINS”, “ISIN” or other identification numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Indenture Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, CINS numbers, ISIN numbers or other identification numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Equipment Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Equipment Notes; provided further, that failure to use “CUSIP”, “CINS”, “ISIN” or other identification numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange shall not affect the validity or sufficiency of such notice.

Section 2.15 Debt Treatment of Equipment Notes. The parties hereto agree, and the holders of the Equipment Notes and interests therein, by their purchase thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, to treat the Equipment Notes as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 2.16 Compliance with Withholding Requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Master Indenture, the Issuer and Indenture Trustee shall comply with all United States federal income tax withholding requirements with respect to payments to Noteholders of interest, original issue discount, or other amounts that are required to be withheld under the Code. The consent of the Noteholders shall not be required for any such withholding.

Section 2.17 Limitation on Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Master Indenture, any Equipment Note for which an opinion of counsel has not been rendered to the Issuer to the effect that such Equipment Note constitutes debt for United States federal income tax purposes (a “Subject Note”) shall be subject to the limitations of this Section 2.17. No Subject Notes may be transferred, and no transfer (or purported transfer) of all or any part of a Subject Note (or any direct or indirect economic or beneficial interest therein) (a “Transferred Note”) whether to another Noteholder or to a Person that is not a Noteholder (a “Transferee”) shall be effective, and to the greatest extent permitted under Applicable Law any such transfer (or purported transfer) shall be void ab initio, and no Person shall otherwise become a Holder of a Subject Note, unless: (i) the Transferee provides the Note Registrar with its representations and warranties made for the benefit of the Issuer to the effect that: (A) either (I) it is not and will not become for U.S. federal income tax purposes a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust (each such entity, a “flow-through entity”) or (II) if it is or becomes a flow through entity, then (x) none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in the Transferee have or ever will have all or substantially all the value of its interest in the Transferee attributable to the interest of the Transferee in any Transferred Note, any other Equipment Notes, other interest (direct or indirect) in the Issuer, or any interest created under this Master Indenture and (y) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the investment of the Transferee in any Transferred Note to permit any partnership to satisfy the one hundred (100) partner limitation of Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the U.S. Treasury regulations under the Code necessary for such partnership not to be classified as a publicly traded partnership under the Code, (B) the Transferee will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any participating interest in any Equipment Note or any financial instrument or contract the value of which is determined by reference in whole or in part to any Equipment Note, (C) it is not acquiring and will not sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Transferred Note(s) (or interest therein) or cause any Transferred Note(s) (or interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, including, without limitation, an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations, and (D) in the case of Subject Notes other than the Series 2011-1 Notes that it is a “U.S. Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, and (ii) after such transfer there would be no more than ninety (90) members of the limited liability company that is the Issuer (including as members, solely for purposes of this Section 2.17, Holders of any Subject Notes and any other instruments subject to the transfer restrictions of this Section 2.17). The Issuer shall not recognize any prohibited transfer described in this Section 2.17 either (i) by redeeming the transferor’s interest, or (ii) by admitting the Transferee as such a member or otherwise recognizing any right of the Transferee (including, without limitation, any right of the Transferee to receive payments or other distributions from the Issuer, directly or indirectly).

ARTICLE III

Section 3.01 Establishment of Indenture Accounts; Investments.

(a) Indenture Accounts. The Administrator, on behalf and at the direction of the Issuer, will establish with the Indenture Trustee on or before the Initial Closing Date and maintain all of the following accounts: (i) a collections account (the “Collections Account”), (ii) a railcar replacement account (the “Mandatory Replacement Account”), (iii) an optional reinvestment account (the “Optional Reinvestment Account”), (iv) an expense account (the “Expense Account”), and (v) a liquidity reserve account (the “Liquidity Reserve Account”). From time to time thereafter, the Administrator, on behalf and at the direction of the Issuer, will establish with the Indenture Trustee such other Indenture Accounts as may be authorized or required by this Master Indenture and the other Operative Agreements. The Administrator, on behalf of and at the direction of the Issuer, will establish with the Indenture Trustee, on or before the Closing Date for each Series, and maintain, an account for such Series (each, a “Series Account”) and may so establish and maintain one or more sub-accounts of such Series Account for each Class of such Series (each, a “Class Account”). The Series Account and any Class Account for a Series will be identified in the Series Supplement for such Account.

(b) The Collections Account, the Mandatory Replacement Account, the Optional Reinvestment Account, the Expense Account, and the Liquidity Reserve Account shall bear the account numbers set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. All amounts from time to time held in each Indenture Account (other than a Series Account) shall be held (a) in the name of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and (b) in the custody and under the “Control” (as such term is defined in the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee, for the purposes and on the terms set forth in this Master Indenture, and all such amounts shall constitute a part of the Collateral and shall not constitute payment of any Secured Obligation or any other obligation of the Issuer until applied as hereinafter provided. All amounts from time to time held in each Series Account shall be held (a) in the name of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders of the related Series, and (b) in the custody and under the “Control” (as such term is defined in the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee, for the purposes and on the terms set forth in this Master Indenture and the related Series Supplement, and all such amounts shall be collateral only for such Series and shall not constitute payment of such Series or any other obligation of the Issuer until applied as provided in this Master Indenture and the related Series Supplement.

(c) Withdrawals and Transfers. The Indenture Trustee shall have sole dominion and control over the Indenture Accounts (including, inter alia, the sole power to direct withdrawals from or transfers among the Indenture Accounts), and the Issuer shall have no right to withdraw, or to cause the withdrawal of funds or other investments held in the Indenture Accounts or to direct the investment of such funds or the liquidation of any Permitted Investments, in each case other than as expressly provided herein or, with respect to a Series Account, in a Series Supplement.

(d) Investments. For so long as any Equipment Notes remain Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Administrator, shall invest and reinvest the

funds on deposit in the Indenture Accounts (other than the Series Accounts, which shall not be invested) in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrator shall have no right to direct such reinvestment and the Indenture Trustee shall invest such amount in Indenture Investments from the time of receipt thereof until such time as such amounts are required to be distributed pursuant to the terms of this Master Indenture. In the absence of written direction delivered to the Indenture Trustee from the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee shall invest any funds in Permitted Investments described in clause (f) of the definition thereof. The Indenture Trustee shall make such investments and reinvestments in accordance with the terms of the following provisions:

(i) the Permitted Investments shall have maturities and other terms such that sufficient funds shall be available to make required payments pursuant to this Master Indenture on the Business Day immediately preceding the first Payment Date after which such investment is made; and

(ii) if any funds to be invested are not received in the Indenture Accounts by noon, New York City time, on any Business Day, such funds shall, if possible, be invested in overnight Permitted Investments.

(e) Earnings. Earnings on investments of funds in the Indenture Accounts shall be deposited in the Collections Account when received and credited as Collections for the Collection Period when so received, it being understood that funds in the Series Accounts shall not be invested.

(f) WTC as Securities Intermediary; Control.

(i) WTC shall act as the “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of the UCC) in respect of all securities and other property credited to the Indenture Accounts.

(ii) WTC as securities intermediary agrees with the parties hereto that each Indenture Account shall be an account to which financial assets (within the meaning of the UCC) may be credited and undertakes to treat the Indenture Trustee as entitled to exercise rights that comprise such financial assets. WTC as securities intermediary agrees with the parties hereto that each item of property credited to each Indenture Account shall be treated as such a financial asset. WTC as securities intermediary acknowledges that the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” as defined in the UCC with respect to the Collateral, shall be the State of New York. WTC as securities intermediary represents and covenants that it is not and will not be (as long as it is acting as securities intermediary hereunder) a party to any agreement in respect of the Collateral that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Master Indenture. WTC as securities intermediary agrees that any item of property credited to any Indenture Account shall not be subject to any security interest, lien, or right of setoff in favor of the securities intermediary or anyone claiming through the securities intermediary (other than the Indenture Trustee).

(iii) It is the intent of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that each Indenture Account shall be a securities account of the Indenture Trustee and not an account of the Issuer. Nonetheless, WTC as securities intermediary agrees that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Indenture Trustee without further consent by the Issuer. WTC as securities intermediary hereby further covenants that it will not agree with any person or entity (other than the Indenture Trustee) that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by such person or entity.

(iv) Nothing herein shall imply or impose upon WTC as securities intermediary any duty or obligations other than those expressly set forth herein and those applicable to a securities intermediary under the UCC (and WTC as securities intermediary hereunder shall be entitled to all of the protections available to a securities intermediary under the UCC). Without limiting the foregoing, nothing herein shall imply or impose upon WTC as securities intermediary any duties of a fiduciary nature (but not in limitation of any such duties of the Indenture Trustee hereunder).

(v) WTC as securities intermediary hereby represents and warrants and agrees with the Issuer and for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee as follows:

(A) With respect to Permitted Investments and Indenture Investments that are book entry securities, such Permitted Investments and Indenture Investments have been credited to the Indenture Trustee’s securities account by accurate book entry.

(B) The securities intermediary shall not accept entitlement orders from any other person except as authorized by the Indenture Trustee.

(C) To the extent determined by the actions of WTC as securities intermediary, the Indenture Trustee shall at all times have “control” (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) over the securities account and the Permitted Investments and Indenture Investments that are book entry securities.

(D) WTC as securities intermediary has received no notice of, and has no knowledge of any “adverse claim” (as such term is defined in the UCC) as to the Collateral.

(E) WTC as securities intermediary waives any lien, claim or encumbrance in favor of the securities intermediary in the Collateral.

(F) WTC as securities intermediary is a “securities intermediary” as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC and in the ordinary course of its business maintains “securities accounts” for others, as such terms are used in Section 8-501 of the UCC and as securities intermediary will be acting in such capacity hereunder.

(G) WTC as securities intermediary is not a “clearing corporation,” as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(5) of the UCC.

(vi) Each of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees and acknowledges that WTC as securities intermediary, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Secured Parties, shall have “control” over each Indenture Account under and for purposes of Section 9-104(a)(1) of the UCC.

If proceeds of a Permitted Discretionary Sale are applied to early repayment of Equipment Notes pursuant to this paragraph, then the Issuer shall also be required to pay, in connection with and on the date of the resulting prepayment, Redemption Premium on such prepaid principal amount if at such time an Optional Redemption of the applicable Equipment Notes would also require the payment of Redemption Premium (with such Redemption Premium, if owing, to be determined in the same manner).

(b) Optional Redemption. In connection with any Optional Redemption in part, the Scheduled Targeted Principal Balance for the remaining Equipment Notes of such Series or Class shall be reduced on the Redemption Date and each subsequent Payment Date by the product of (i) the Redemption Fraction and (ii) the Scheduled Targeted Principal Balance that existed for the Redemption Date or such subsequent Payment Date, as the case may be, immediately prior to such Optional Redemption. No Optional Redemption in part shall occur with respect to a Series or Class unless the Series Supplement for such Series or Class provides for an Optional Redemption in part with respect to such Series or Class, as applicable.

(c) Redemption Fraction. “Redemption Fraction” means, for any Equipment Notes subject to a partial redemption, a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of such Equipment Notes that is being redeemed, and the denominator of which is the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Equipment Notes immediately prior to such partial redemption.

(d) Notice to Hedge Providers and Rating Agencies. If so provided in a Series Supplement, the Issuer shall give each applicable Hedge Provider and each applicable Rating Agency prior written notice of a redemption of all or a portion of the Equipment Notes pursuant to this Section 3.14.

Section 3.15 Liquidity Facilities. The Issuer may establish one or more Liquidity Facilities in connection with the issuance of an Additional Series by entering into transaction documentation (the “Liquidity Facility Documents”) with one or more Liquidity Facility Providers. The following conditions must be satisfied before the Issuer establishes a Liquidity Facility:

(a) the Issuer’s having obtained Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to all Outstanding Series, provided that, because the establishment of such Liquidity Facility would occur in connection with the issuance of an Additional Series, the establishment of such

Liquidity Facility would be subject to the same Rating Agency Confirmation as such Additional Series;

(b) no Manager Termination Event, Event of Default or Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the establishment of the Liquidity Facility, and no Manager Termination Event, Event of Default or Early Amortization Event would occur as a result of the transactions associated with the establishment of the Liquidity Facility;

(c) the Liquidity Facility Provider shall have a long-term credit rating of not less than the highest rating issued by the Rating Agency on any Outstanding Equipment Notes, and shall not have a published long-term rating issued by any NRSRO lower than the highest rating on any Outstanding Equipment Notes;

(d) the Liquidity Facility Documents shall contain provisions (i) addressing the limited recourse nature of the Issuer’s obligation to make payments to the Liquidity Facility Provider, (ii) consistent with the bankruptcy remoteness of the Issuer, (iii) restricting the ability of the Liquidity Facility Provider to assign, transfer or delegate its obligations under the Liquidity Facility, (iv) ensuring that draws on the Liquidity Facility are payable on demand and without the need for a default or event of default to have occurred, (v) setting forth timetables consistent with the Issuer having funds to make timely payments on the Equipment Notes, and (vi) allowing a reasonable period of time for the Issuer to renew or to replace the Liquidity Facility as it nears its stated maturity, and to effect draws under the Liquidity Facility in the event the Liquidity Facility is not timely renewed or replaced, or the Liquidity Facility Provider is downgraded or defaults in its obligations after any applicable grace period; and

(e) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee, on or prior to the establishment of such Liquidity Facility:

(i) an original copy of the Liquidity Facility Documents for such Liquidity Facility, duly executed by the Issuer and the Liquidity Facility Provider, as applicable;

(ii) an officer’s certificate, duly executed by a Responsible Officer of the Issuer, meeting the requirements of Section 1.03 hereof and stating that (A) the establishment of such Liquidity Facility and the Liquidity Facility Documents are authorized and permitted by this Master Indenture and (B) all conditions precedent in this Master Indenture to (x) the establishment of such Liquidity Facility and (y) the execution, delivery and performance of the Liquidity Facility Documents have been duly satisfied in accordance with the terms of this Master Indenture; and

(iii) one or more opinions of counsel, duly executed by counsel to the Issuer, meeting the requirements of Section 1.03 hereof and containing a statement to the effect that (A) the establishment of such Liquidity Facility and the Liquidity Facility Documents are authorized and permitted by this Master Indenture and (B) that all conditions precedent in this Master Indenture to (x) the establishment of such Liquidity Facility and (y) the execution, delivery and performance of the Liquidity Facility

Documents have been duly satisfied in accordance with the terms of this Master Indenture.

Unless otherwise provided in a Series Supplement, each Liquidity Facility will be secured by the lien of this Master Indenture.

Section 3.16 Hedge Agreements.

(a) On each Closing Date on which the Issuer is issuing Floating Rate Notes, the Issuer must enter into one or more Hedge Agreements with one or more Eligible Hedge Providers. Each Hedge Agreement will be secured by the lien of this Master Indenture.

(b) For so long as any Series or Class of Floating Rate Notes remains Outstanding, the Issuer must maintain one or more Hedge Agreements with an aggregate notional balance (x) equal to or exceeding the product of (i) seventy percent (70%) and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all such Series or Classes of Floating Rate Notes (the amount described in this clause (x), the “Minimum Hedging Amount”) and (y) less than or equal to the product of (i) one hundred five percent (105%) and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all such Series or Classes of Floating Rate Notes (the amount described in this clause (y), the “Maximum Hedging Amount” and, collectively with the Minimum Hedging Amount, the “Hedging Requirement”). Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Master Indenture, but subject to Section 10.05 hereof: without the consent of Noteholders, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may amend this Master Indenture from time to time, with the prior written consent of all Hedge Providers and subject to receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation, to stipulate different percentages for the Minimum Hedging Amount or the Maximum Hedging Amount.

(c) If the Issuer is not able to meet the Minimum Hedging Amount, it must, within ninety-five (95) days, use reasonable commercial efforts to enter into one or more Hedge Agreements, or, if the reason for such non-compliance is that a Hedge Agreement has terminated in its entirety, but Floating Rate Notes remain outstanding, enter into one or more replacement Hedge Agreements at least sufficient to meet the Minimum Hedging Amount. If, at the expiration of such ninety-five (95) day period the Issuer has been unable to enter into additional or replacement Hedge Agreements in order to meet the Minimum Hedging Amount, the Requisite Majority (in its sole discretion) may direct the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer to enter into, maintain or terminate (in whole or in part), one or more Hedge Agreements selected by the Requisite Majority (in its sole discretion) such that, after giving effect to such action, the Issuer will be in compliance with the Hedging Requirement. In the event the Requisite Majority determines to direct the Indenture Trustee to enter into, maintain or terminate (in whole or in part) a Hedge Agreement on the Issuer’s behalf, the Requisite Majority shall promptly send a copy of any such agreement to the Issuer.

(d) If contemplated by a Hedge Agreement, the Issuer may enter into off-setting interest rate transactions in order to comply with the Hedging Requirement.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Master Indenture or the applicable Series Supplement, payments by the Issuer to Hedge Providers shall be made to such Hedge

Providers on each Payment Date in accordance with the Flow of Funds and payments by Hedge Providers to the Issuer shall be made to the Collections Account.

(f) If a Hedge Provider (a “Designated Hedge Provider”) is the “defaulting party” or “affected party” under a Hedge Agreement (a “Designated Hedge Agreement”) and, as a result, the Issuer is entitled to terminate such Designated Hedge Agreement, then, promptly after the Issuer becomes aware thereof, the Issuer (i) shall notify the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency and (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for another Eligible Hedge Provider (a “Replacement Hedge Provider”) to enter into a replacement Hedge Agreement (a “Replacement Hedge Agreement”) with the Issuer to the extent that the Issuer would be required to enter into a Hedge Agreement under Section 3.16(c) hereof if the Designated Hedge Agreement were not in effect (and subject to the timing, and the rights of the Requisite Majority, specified in Section 3.16(c) hereof); provided that, subject to the terms of the Designated Hedge Agreement, the Issuer shall terminate such Designated Hedge Agreement at or prior to the time the Issuer enters into such Replacement Hedge Agreement. In connection with any termination in whole of a Hedge Agreement if the Issuer is entering, or will enter, into a Replacement Hedge Agreement, the Administrator, on behalf and at the direction of the Issuer, will establish with the Indenture Trustee a securities and cash account (a “Replacement and Termination Receipts Account”). The Issuer will deposit (or cause to be deposited) in the Replacement and Termination Receipts Account (x) any Hedge Termination Value paid by the Hedge Provider under the terminating Hedge Agreement to the Issuer, which Hedge Termination Value may be used by the Issuer to make payments required to a Replacement Hedge Provider in connection with a Replacement Hedge Agreement; and (y) any initial payment from a Replacement Hedge Provider that will be used to satisfy any obligation to pay a Hedge Termination Value to the Hedge Provider under the terminating Hedge Agreement. A Replacement and Termination Receipts Account will not be considered to be an Indenture Account for purposes of this Master Indenture and funds standing to its credit will not be considered to be Collateral for purposes of this Master Indenture. All amounts from time to time held in each Replacement and Termination Receipts Account shall be held (a) in the name of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Issuer, and (b) in the custody and under the “Control” (as such term is defined in the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee, for the purposes and on the terms set forth in this Master Indenture.

(g) If a Hedge Provider is required to post collateral under a Hedge Agreement (“Hedge Collateral”), the Administrator, on behalf and at the direction of the Issuer, will establish with the Indenture Trustee a securities and cash account (a “Hedge Collateral Account”). The Hedge Collateral will be deposited in the Hedge Collateral Account; provided that the Hedge Collateral will not be considered to be Collateral for purposes of this Master Indenture and the Hedge Collateral Account will not be considered to be an Indenture Account for purposes of this Master Indenture. All amounts from time to time held in each Hedge Collateral Account shall be held (a) in the name of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Issuer, and (b) in the custody and under the “Control” (as such term is defined in the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee, for the purposes and on the terms set forth in this Master Indenture. If a Hedge Agreement is terminated and a Hedge Collateral Account has been established with respect to the related Hedge Provider, then either: (x) if a Hedge Termination Value is determined to be payable by the Issuer to such Hedge Provider, then the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee to transfer to such Hedge Provider such Hedge Termination Value and, outside

of the Flow of Funds, the relevant Hedge Collateral; or (y) if a Hedge Termination Value is determined to be payable by such Hedge Provider to the Issuer, and (A) if such Hedge Provider pays such Hedge Termination Value to the Issuer when due and payable, then the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee to immediately return the relevant Hedge Collateral to such Hedge Provider outside of the Flow of Funds, and (B) if such Hedge Provider does not pay such Hedge Termination Value to the Issuer when due and payable, then the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee to the extent necessary to liquidate such Hedge Collateral and to transfer such Hedge Collateral or the proceeds thereof to the Collections Account in an amount equal to the lesser of (I) such Hedge Termination Value and (II) the amounts standing to the credit of such Hedge Collateral Account (and such Hedge Provider’s obligation to pay such Hedge Termination Value shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent, but only to the extent, that such amounts are so transferred to the Collections Account), and the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee to pay any proceeds of such Hedge Collateral in excess of such Hedge Termination Value to such Hedge Provider outside of the Flow of Funds.

ARTICLE IV

as (x) the amount of such judgment or order is covered by a valid and binding policy of insurance between the defendant and the insurer (subject to customary deductible or co-payment) covering payment thereof and (y) such insurer, which shall be rated at least “A-” by A.M.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 4.01(f) or 4.01(g), the Outstanding Principal Balance of, and accrued interest on, all Series of Equipment Notes, together with all other amounts then due and owing to the Noteholders, shall become immediately due and payable without further action by any Person. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Indenture Trustee, acting at the Direction of the Requisite Majority, may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all Equipment Notes then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately, by written notice to the Issuer, the Manager, the Hedge Providers, the Liquidity Facility Providers and the Administrator (a “Default Notice”), and upon any such declaration such principal and accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable. At any time after the Indenture Trustee has declared the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes to be due and payable and prior to the exercise of any other remedies pursuant to this Master Indenture, the Indenture Trustee (at the Direction of the Requisite Majority), by written notice to the Issuer, the Manager and the Administrator may, except in the case of (i) a default in the deposit or distribution of any payment required to be made on the Equipment Notes, (ii) a payment default on the Equipment Notes or (iii) a default in respect of any covenant or provision of this Master Indenture that cannot by the terms hereof be modified or amended without the consent of each Noteholder affected thereby, rescind and annul such declaration and thereby annul its consequences, if (1) there has been paid to or deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of interest on the Equipment Notes, and the principal of and premium, if any, on the Equipment Notes that would have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, (2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, and (3) all other defaults and Events of Default, other than nonpayment of interest and principal on the Equipment Notes that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and shall, if given a Direction in writing by the Requisite Majority, do any or all of the following, provided that the Indenture Trustee shall dispose of the Portfolio Railcars only if it has received a Collateral Liquidation Notice:

(i) Institute any Proceedings, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, for the collection of all amounts then due and payable on the Equipment Notes or under this Master Indenture or the related Series Supplement with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Collateral and any other assets of the Issuer any moneys adjudged due;

(ii) Subject to the quiet enjoyment rights of any Lessee of a Portfolio Railcar, conduct proceedings to sell, hold or lease the Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private transactions conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided that, the Indenture Trustee shall incur no liability as a

result of the sale of the Collateral or any part thereof at any sale pursuant to this Section 4.02 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, and the Issuer hereby waives any claims against the Indenture Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such sale was less than the price that might have been obtained, even if the Indenture Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

(iii) Institute any Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Encumbrance created by this Master Indenture with respect to the Collateral;

(iv) Institute such other appropriate Proceedings to protect and enforce any other rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Master Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy;

(v) Exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any Applicable Law and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement;

(vi) Appoint a receiver or a manager over the Issuer or its assets; and

(vii) Exercise its rights under Section 3.03 hereof.

(c) If the Equipment Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, any money collected by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Master Indenture or otherwise, and any moneys that may then be held or thereafter received by the Indenture Trustee, shall be applied to the extent permitted by law in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Indenture Trustee;

(i) First, to the payment of all costs and expenses of collection incurred by the Indenture Trustee (including the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel to the Indenture Trustee), and all other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement; and

(ii) Second, as set forth in the applicable provision of the Flow of Funds.

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall provide each Rating Agency with a copy of any Default Notice it receives or delivers pursuant to this Master Indenture. Within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of any Series of Equipment Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice to the Noteholders of such Series of Equipment Notes, transmitted by mail, of all uncured or unwaived Defaults actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee on such date; provided that the Indenture Trustee may withhold such notice with respect to a Default (other than a payment default with respect to interest, principal or premium, if any) if it determines in good faith that withholding such notice is in the interest of the affected Noteholders.

(e) The Issuer hereby agrees that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee and any permitted delegee thereof are hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered to act as the attorney-in-fact for the Issuer with respect to the giving of any instructions or notices under this Master Indenture.

(f) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, upon the written Direction of the Requisite Majority, the Indenture Trustee shall render an accounting of the current balance of each Indenture Account, and shall direct the Account Collateral Agent to render an accounting of the current balance of the Customer Payment Account.

(g) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and only in such event, upon the written Direction of the Requisite Majority, the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized to take any and all actions and to exercise any and all rights, remedies and options which it may have under this Master Indenture (which rights and remedies shall include the right to direct the withdrawal and disposition of amounts on deposit in the Indenture Accounts and the deposit thereof in the Collections Account, other than amounts on deposit in Series Accounts) and which the Requisite Majority directs it to take under this Master Indenture, including realization and foreclosure on the Collateral.

(h) The Indenture Trustee may after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default exercise any and all rights and remedies of the Issuer under or in connection with the Assigned Agreements (including, without limitation, the Management Agreement and any successor agreement therefor) and otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all rights of the Issuer to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, any Assigned Agreement. In addition, after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Direction of the Requisite Majority, the Indenture Trustee may exercise all rights of the “lessor” under Leases related to Portfolio Railcars, including, without limitation, the right to direct the applicable Lessees to make rental payments to such account as the Indenture Trustee shall specify, for application to the Collections Account and upon a Manager Default, or a Manager Replacement Event (as defined in the Management Agreement) in respect of which the Manager has been replaced, and in each case upon the Direction of the Requisite Majority, the Indenture Trustee may exercise the right of the “lessor” to direct the applicable Lessees to make rental payments to such account as the Indenture Trustee shall specify, for application to the Collections Account.

Section 4.03 Limitation on Suits. No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Master Indenture or the Equipment Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder holds Equipment Notes and has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes give a written Direction to the Indenture Trustee to pursue a remedy hereunder;

(c) such Holder or Holders offer to the Indenture Trustee an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against any costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

(d) the Indenture Trustee does not comply with such request within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

(e) during such sixty (60) day period, a Requisite Majority does not give the Indenture Trustee a Direction inconsistent with such request.

No one or more Noteholders may use this Master Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain or seek to obtain any preference or priority not otherwise created by this Master Indenture and the terms of the Equipment Notes over any other Holder or to enforce any right under this Master Indenture and a related Series Supplement, except in the manner herein provided.

Section 4.04 Waiver of Existing Defaults.

(a) The Indenture Trustee acting at the Direction of the Requisite Majority may waive any existing Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except any waiver in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, pursuant to Section 9.02(a), cannot be modified or amended without the consent of such Persons as are required to amend such covenant or provision in addition to the consent of the Requisite Majority.

(b) Upon any waiver made in accordance with Section 4.04(a), such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Master Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Each such notice of waiver shall also be notified to each Rating Agency.

(c) Any written waiver of a Default or an Event of Default given by Holders of the Equipment Notes to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Master Indenture shall be binding upon the Indenture Trustee and the other parties hereto. Unless such writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence which gave rise to the Default or Event of Default so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence which occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.

Section 4.05 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee, any Holder of Equipment Notes, any Hedge Provider or any Liquidity Facility Provider has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy that it has, if applicable, under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, such Holder, such Hedge Provider or such Liquidity Facility Provider, then in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, such Hedge Provider or such Liquidity Facility Provider shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the

Noteholders, such Hedge Provider and such Liquidity Facility Provider shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

Section 4.06 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy herein given to the Indenture Trustee (or the Control Parties or the Requisite Majority), the Hedge Providers and the Liquidity Facility Providers, if applicable, specifically or otherwise in this Master Indenture shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Indenture Trustee (or the Control Parties or the Requisite Majority), the Hedge Providers and the Liquidity Facility Providers, if applicable, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy.

In accordance with the LLC Agreement, no issuance, delivery, sale, transfer or other disposition of any equity interest in the Issuer will be effective, and any such issuance, delivery, sale transfer or other disposition will be void ab initio, if it would result in the Issuer being classified as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

This provision shall survive the termination of this Master Indenture.

(xv) maintain bank and other accounts (other than the Indenture Accounts), if any, separate from any other Person;

(xvi) conduct its business in its own name; and

(xvii) not take any actions that would be inconsistent with maintaining the separate legal identity of the Issuer.

Section 5.03 Portfolio Covenants. The Issuer covenants with the Indenture Trustee as follows:

(a) Railcar Dispositions. Except as described in the Granting Clause with respect to the redemption in whole of a Series of Equipment Notes, the Issuer will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Railcar or any interest therein, except that the Issuer may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or part with possession of (i) any Parts, or (ii) one or more Portfolio Railcars, as follows (any such sale, transfer or disposition described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 5.03(a), a “Permitted Railcar Disposition”):

(i) A Railcar Disposition pursuant to a Permitted Purchase Option (a “Purchase Option Disposition”);

(ii) A Railcar Disposition pursuant to receipt of insurance or other third party proceeds in connection with the Total Loss of a Portfolio Railcar (and any consequent later sale of such affected Railcar for scrap or salvage value) (an “Involuntary Railcar Disposition”); or

(iii) A Railcar Disposition in the ordinary course of business (other than a Railcar Disposition as a result of a Total Loss or a Purchase Option Disposition) so long as the following conditions are complied with (a “Permitted Discretionary Sale”):

(A) At the time of such Railcar Disposition, no Event of Default or Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and then be continuing.

(B) The Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) prior to such Railcar Disposition, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, shall have identified replacement Railcars for the Issuer to purchase meeting the criteria set forth in clauses “1” through “3” of clause (C) below (Railcars meeting such criteria, “Qualifying Replacement Railcars”), with such purchase expected to be made within 30 days of the date of the discretionary sale.

(1) must be of comparable remaining economic useful life to the Portfolio Railcars being sold,

(2) must have an Appraisal showing an Initial Appraised Value, and

(3) except as contemplated by clause (D)(4) below, must be under Lease with a remaining Lease term at least equal to two-thirds of the remaining Lease term of the Portfolio Railcars being sold.

(D) With respect to the Portfolio Railcars to be sold pursuant to a Permitted Discretionary Sale (such Portfolio Railcars being referred to below as the “Sold Railcars”), each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) certifying as to the satisfaction of such conditions:

(1) The Sold Railcars must be purchased from the Issuer by a third party that is not an Issuer Group Member.

(2) The Net Disposition Proceeds realized in such sale must be at least (a) one hundred five percent (105%) of the product of the Railcar Advance Rate and the Adjusted Value of such Sold

Railcars, plus (b) the amount of any Hedge Partial Termination Value that would be owed by the Issuer to a Hedge Provider, if applicable.

(3) Sold Railcars that were under Lease at the time of sale, if being replaced, must be replaced by Qualifying Replacement Railcars under Lease that generate at least the same amount of current monthly lease revenue and have a remaining Lease term at least equal to two-thirds of the remaining Lease term of such Sold Railcars.

(4) Sold Railcars that were not under Lease at the time of sale, if being replaced, must be replaced by Qualifying Replacement Railcars as to which, if not then under Lease, the Manager has a reasonable, good faith expectation that such Qualifying Replacement Railcars will generate at least the same amount of monthly lease revenue (once placed under Lease) as the Manager would have expected for the Sold Railcars.

(E) The Net Disposition Proceeds must be deposited into the Mandatory Replacement Account.

(F) Such Railcar Disposition, after giving effect to the expected reinvestment, will not directly cause noncompliance with any Concentration Limit.

(G) The Initial Appraised Value of the Qualifying Replacement Railcars acquired in connection with a Permitted Discretionary Sale must at least equal the Adjusted Value of the Sold Railcars at their time of sale (except to a de minimis extent).

(H) The sum of (x) the Adjusted Value of the Portfolio Railcars to be sold in such Railcar Disposition, (y) the aggregate sum of the Adjusted Values of all Portfolio Railcars that the Issuer has sold in all Permitted Discretionary Sales and Purchase Option Dispositions and (z) the aggregate Adjusted Value of all Portfolio Railcars then subject to a Lease containing a purchase option, does not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the highest aggregate Adjusted Value of all Portfolio Railcars held by the Issuer at any particular time up to the related date of sale.

(I) The Adjusted Value of the Portfolio Railcars to be sold in such Permitted Discretionary Sales and Purchase Option Dispositions in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the average, for each of the previous twelve Payment Dates falling before the month in which a Permitted Discretionary Sale or Purchase Option Disposition occurs, of the aggregate sum of the Adjusted Values of all Portfolio Railcars for such Payment Dates (or, if fewer than twelve (12) Payment Dates have passed, such average for all such Payment Dates).

(iv) With respect to a Permitted Railcar Disposition constituting a Purchase Option Disposition or Involuntary Railcar Disposition, the Issuer will, if not electing to deposit such proceeds directly into the Collections Account, deposit the related Net Disposition Proceeds into the Optional Reinvestment Account for application, within the Replacement Period, to a purchase of Qualifying Replacement Railcars in a Replacement Exchange (as contemplated and provided in Section 3.05).

(b) Railcar Acquisitions. The Issuer will not purchase or otherwise acquire a Railcar (or an interest therein) other than the Railcars (or an interest therein) identified on a schedule to the Series Supplement for the Initial Equipment Notes, except that the Issuer will be permitted to:

(i) purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, one or more Railcars constituting Qualifying Replacement Railcars in connection with any Replacement Exchange, and

(ii) acquire one or more additional Railcars pursuant to a capital contribution from the Member, so long as, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) (except as indicated below), each of the following requirements are satisfied on or prior to such purchase or other acquisition:

(A) in the case of clause (i) only, no Event of Default or Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing or would directly result therefrom;

(B) after giving effect to the acquisition, the Portfolio will comply with the Concentration Limits;

(D) the Purchase Price for each such Railcar does not exceed its Initial Appraised Value;

(E) except in connection with Railcars being acquired in a Replacement Exchange for Portfolio Railcars that were not subject to a Lease at the time of the disposition thereof by the Issuer, the Railcars being acquired are each subject to a Permitted Lease; and all actions (including the applicable UCC, STB or Registrar General of Canada filings) shall have been taken to cause the Railcars being assigned to be subject to a first priority security interest in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that no such actions will be required to be taken in Mexico or under any Provincial Personal Property Security Act or other non-federal legislation in Canada); and

(F) that the Railcars will be free and clear of Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances; and

(iii) purchase or otherwise acquire additional Railcars in connection with the issuance of an Additional Series.

(c) Permitted Railcar Acquisition. A Railcar acquisition by the Issuer complying with the provisions in subsection (b) immediately above constitutes a “Permitted Railcar Acquisition”. If two or more Railcars are being acquired in a Permitted Railcar Acquisition, the foregoing requirements in subsection (b) will be determined on an aggregate basis.

(d) Modification Payments and Capital Expenditures. The Issuer will not make any capital expenditures for the purpose of effecting any optional improvement or modification of any Portfolio Railcar or Parts outside of the ordinary course of business, except that the Issuer may make Optional Modifications and Required Modifications in its discretion and subject to the following limitations on the manner in which such Required Modifications and Optional Modifications may be funded:

(i) Required Modifications may be funded out of the Expense Account in accordance with Section 3.06; and

(ii) Optional Modifications may be funded from distributions to the Issuer pursuant to the Flow of Funds, or from capital contributions to the Issuer.

In the case of any Optional Modification, the Issuer prior to undertaking such Optional Modification shall have determined, based upon consultation with the Manager, that the Optional Modification is not expected to decrease the value or marketability of the Portfolio Railcar as a result of the expenditure on such Optional Modification.

(e) Leases.

(i) The Issuer will not surrender possession of any Portfolio Railcar to any Person (other than the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement) other than for purposes of maintenance or overhaul or pursuant to a Permitted Lease or for storage purposes pending the Manager’s procurement of a Permitted Lease thereon.

(ii) The Issuer will, and will cause the Manager in general to use its pro forma lease agreement or agreements, as such pro forma lease agreement or agreements may be revised for purposes of the Issuer specifically or generally from time to time by the Manager (collectively, the “Pro Forma Lease”), for use by the Manager on behalf of the Issuer as a starting point in the negotiation of Future Leases. However, with respect to any Future Lease entered into in connection with (x) the renewal or extension of a related Lease, (y) the leasing of a Portfolio Railcar to a Person that is or was a Lessee under a pre-existing Lease, or (z) the leasing of a Portfolio Railcar to a Person that is or was a Lessee under an operating lease of a Railcar that is being managed or serviced by the Manager (such Future Lease, a “Renewal Lease”), a form of lease substantially similar to such pre-existing Lease or operating lease (a “Precedent Lease”), as the case may be, may be used by the Manager, in lieu of the Pro Forma Lease on behalf of the Issuer as a starting point in the negotiation of such Future Lease. The terms of the Pro Forma Lease may be revised from time to time by the Manager, provided that

any such revisions shall be consistent with a Lease originated thereunder being a Permitted Lease.

(f) Concentration Limits. The Issuer will not sell, purchase, otherwise take any action with respect to any Portfolio Railcar if entering into such proposed sale, or other action would cause the Portfolio to no longer comply with the Concentration Limits; provided, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to the renewal by the Issuer of an Existing Lease. Also, the Issuer will not consummate a Permitted Discretionary Sale if the effect of such action is or would be to cause noncompliance with any Concentration Limit.

Section 5.04 Operating Covenants. The Issuer covenants with the Indenture Trustee as follows, provided that any of the following covenants with respect to the Portfolio Railcars shall not be deemed to have been breached by virtue of any act or omission of a Lessee or sub-lessee, or of any Person which has possession of a Portfolio Railcar for the purpose of repairs, maintenance, modification or storage, or by virtue of any requisition, seizure, or confiscation of a Portfolio Railcar (other than seizure or confiscation arising from a breach by the Issuer of such covenant) (each, a “Third Party Event”), so long as (i) neither the Issuer nor the Manager has consented to such Third Party Event; and (ii) the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) as the Lessor of such Portfolio Railcar promptly and diligently takes such commercially reasonable actions as a leading railcar operating lessor would reasonably take in respect of such Third Party Event, including, as deemed appropriate (taking into account, among other things, the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Portfolio Railcar is located or operated), seeking to compel such Lessee or other relevant Person to remedy such Third Party Event or seeking to repossess the relevant Portfolio Railcar:

(a) Ownership. The Issuer will (i) on all occasions on which the ownership of each Portfolio Railcar is relevant, make it clear to third parties that title to the same is held by the Issuer, and (ii) not do, or knowingly permit to be done, or omit, or knowingly permit to be omitted, any act or thing which might reasonably be expected to jeopardize the rights of the Issuer as owner of each Portfolio Railcar, except as contemplated by the Operative Agreements.

(b) Compliance with Law; Maintenance of Permits. The Issuer will (i) comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, (ii) obtain all material governmental (including regulatory) registrations, certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations required for the use and operation of the Portfolio Railcars owned by it, (iii) not cause or knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, any Lessee to operate any Portfolio Railcar under any related Lease in any material respect contrary to any Applicable Law, and (iv) not knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, any Lessee not to obtain all material governmental (including regulatory) registrations, certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations required for such Lessee’s use and operation of any Portfolio Railcar under any related operating Lease.

(c) Forfeiture. The Issuer will not do anything, and will not knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, any Lessee to do anything, which may reasonably be expected to expose any Portfolio Railcar to forfeiture, impoundment, detention, appropriation, damage or destruction (other than any forfeiture, impoundment, detention or appropriation which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings) unless (i) adequate resources have been made available by the Issuer or the applicable Lessee for any payment which may arise or be

required in connection with such forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation or proceedings taken in respect thereof, and (ii) such forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation or the continued existence thereof does not give rise to any material likelihood of the assets to which such forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation relates or any interest in such assets being sold, permanently forfeited or otherwise lost. In the event of a forfeiture, impoundment, detention or appropriation of such Portfolio Railcar not constituting a Total Loss, the Issuer will use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt release of such Portfolio Railcar.

(d) Maintenance of Assets. The Issuer will, with respect to each Portfolio Railcar under Lease, cause, directly or indirectly, such Portfolio Railcar to be maintained in a state of repair and condition consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading railcar operating lessors with respect to similar railcars under lease, taking into consideration, among other things, the identity of the relevant Lessee (including the credit standing and operating experience thereof), the age and condition of the Portfolio Railcar and the jurisdiction in which the Portfolio Railcar is or will be operated or in which the Lessee is based. In addition, the Issuer will, with respect to each Portfolio Railcar that is not subject to a Lease, maintain such Portfolio Railcar in a state of repair and condition consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading railcar operating lessors with respect to railcars not under lease.

(e) Notification of Loss, Theft, Damage or Destruction. The Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, and the Manager, in writing, as soon as the Issuer becomes aware of any loss, theft, damage or destruction to any Portfolio Railcar or Portfolio Railcars if the potential cost of repair or replacement of such assets (without regard to any insurance claim related thereto) may exceed $1,000,000.

(f) Insurance. The Issuer covenants with the Indenture Trustee as follows:

(i) Insurance. The Issuer will at all times after the Closing Date, at its own expense, keep or cause the Insurance Manager under the Insurance Agreement to keep each Portfolio Railcar insured with insurers of recognized responsibility with a rating of at least A- by A.M. Best Company (or a comparable rating by a nationally or internationally recognized rating group of comparable stature) or by other insurers approved in writing by the Requisite Majority, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, in amounts and against risks and with deductibles and terms and conditions not less beneficial to the insured thereunder than the insurance, if any, maintained by the Manager with respect to similar equipment which it owns or leases, but in no event shall such coverage be for amounts or against risks less than the Prudent Industry Practice.

(ii) Additional Insurance. In the event that the Issuer shall fail to maintain insurance as herein provided, the Indenture Trustee may at its option, upon prior written notice to the Issuer, provide such insurance and, in such event, the Issuer shall, upon demand from time to time reimburse the Indenture Trustee for the cost thereof together with interest from the date of payment thereof at the Stated Rate on the most recently issued Class of Equipment Notes (or, if more than one Class of Equipment Notes was issued on the same date, the lowest of the Stated Rates on such Classes, determined as of the most recent Determination Date), on the amount of the cost to the Indenture

Trustee of such insurance which the Issuer shall have failed to maintain. If after the Indenture Trustee has provided such insurance, the Issuer then obtains the coverage provided for in Section 5.04(f) which was replaced by the insurance provided by the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer provides the Indenture Trustee with evidence of such coverage reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall cancel the insurance it has provided pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.04(f)(ii). In such event, the Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all costs to the Indenture Trustee of cancellation, including without limitation any short rate penalty, together with interest from the date of the Indenture Trustee’s payment thereof at such Stated Rate. In addition, at any time the Indenture Trustee may at its own expense carry insurance with respect to its interest in the Portfolio Railcars, provided that such insurance does not interfere with the Issuer’s ability to insure the Portfolio Railcars as required by this Section 5.04(f) or adversely affect the Issuer’s insurance or the cost thereof, it being understood that all salvage rights to each Portfolio Railcar shall remain with the Issuer’s insurers at all times. Any insurance payments received from policies maintained by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the previous sentence shall be retained by the applicable Person obtaining such insurance without reducing or otherwise affecting the Issuer’s obligations hereunder, other than with respect to Portfolio Railcars, with respect to which such payments have been made.

(g) No Accounts. Except as contemplated herein, the Issuer will not have an interest in any deposit account or securities account (other than the Indenture Accounts and other than any account which may be required to be established as a necessary consequence of or in order to invest in or otherwise acquire a Permitted Investment) unless (i) any such further account and the Issuer’s interest therein shall be further charged or otherwise secured in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (ii) any such further account is held in the custody of and under the “control” (as such term is defined in the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee.

(h) Notices. If at any time any creditor of the Issuer seeks to enforce any judgment or order of any competent court or other competent tribunal against any of the Collateral, the Issuer shall (i) promptly give written notice to such creditor and to such court or tribunal of the Indenture Trustee’s interests in the Collateral, (ii) if at any time an examiner, administrator, administrative receiver, receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or other similar appointee (an “Insolvency Appointee”) is appointed in respect of any secured creditor or any of their assets, promptly give notice to such appointee of the Indenture Trustee’s interests in the Collateral and (iii) notify the Indenture Trustee thereof in either case of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The Issuer will not voluntarily appoint or cause to be appointed or commence any proceeding to appoint any Insolvency Appointee over all or any of its property.

(i) Compliance with Agreements. The Issuer will comply with and perform all its obligations under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement, the Issuer Documents and the other Operative Agreements to which the Issuer is a party.

(j) Information. The Issuer will at all times give to the Indenture Trustee such information as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require for the purpose of the

discharge of the powers, rights, duties, authorities and discretions vested in it hereunder, under any other Issuer Document or by operation of Applicable Law.

(k) Further Assurances.

(i) The Issuer will comply with all reasonable directions given to it by the Indenture Trustee to perfect the Security Interests in the Collateral (except to the extent provided in the Granting Clauses herein). The Issuer will execute such further documents and do all acts and things as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require at any time or times to give effect to this Master Indenture, the Issuer Documents and the relevant Operative Agreements.

(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, from time to time, the Issuer shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation statements, and shall make or cause to be made such filings with the STB and with the Registrar General of Canada and take or cause to be taken such similar actions as are described in the Granting Clauses under “Priority”, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law (or deemed desirable by the Indenture Trustee) to fully perfect, preserve, maintain and protect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Portfolio Railcars, related Leases and other Collateral granted hereby (including without limitation any such Portfolio Railcars acquired by the Issuer from time to time after the Initial Closing Date), including in the proceeds thereof, it being understood that the Issuer shall not be required to make (to to cause to be made) any filings in Mexico or under any Provincial Personal Property Security Act or any other non-federal legislation in Canada. The Issuer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, following such filing in accordance herewith. In the event that the Issuer fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, the Indenture Trustee may perform such obligations, at the expense of the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee and grants to the Indenture Trustee an irrevocable power of attorney to take any and all steps in order to perform such obligations in the Issuer’s own name and on behalf of the Issuer, as are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Indenture Trustee, as applicable.

(l) Stamping of the Leases. Within thirty (30) days after the applicable Delivery Date with respect to a Lease (or, in the case of a Future Lease, the date of origination of such Future Lease), the Issuer will cause the Manager to stamp on or otherwise affix to each Rider evidencing the same, the following legend:

“This Lease is subject to a security interest in favor of Wilmington Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee, pursuant to the Master Indenture dated as of July 6, 2011 between TRIP Rail Master Funding LLC and Wilmington Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee.”

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, such financing or continuation statements or continuation statements in lieu, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments

or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the pledge, transfer, assignment, Security Interests granted or purported to be granted hereby, (ii) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, deliver and pledge to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, such note or instrument, duly indorsed or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and undated, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, and (iii) deliver to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, promptly upon receipt thereof all instruments representing or evidencing any of the Collateral, duly endorsed or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and undated, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee.

(m) No Effect on Security Interest. Except as otherwise provided in this Master Indenture or other Operative Agreements, the Issuer will not agree to the amendment of any Issuer Document unless the Indenture Trustee has confirmed to the Issuer that it has received from legal counsel reasonably acceptable to it an opinion to the effect that such amendment will not result in the Security Interests being prejudiced (the reasonable expenses of such opinion to be paid by the Issuer).

(n) Restrictions on Amendments to Assigned Agreements and Certain Other Actions. (i) The Issuer will not take, or knowingly permit to be taken, any action which would amend, terminate or discharge or prejudice the validity or effectiveness or priority of the Security Interests or permit any party to any of the Issuer Documents whose obligations form part of the security created by this Master Indenture to be released from such obligations except, in each case as permitted or contemplated by this Master Indenture, or the other Issuer Documents or the Operative Agreements, (ii) without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee (acting at the Direction of the Requisite Majority), the Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, (A) cancel or terminate, or consent to or accept any cancellation or termination of, or amend, modify or change in any manner, any Assigned Agreement or any term or condition thereof or (B) waive any default under, or any breach of or noncompliance with any term or condition of, any Assigned Agreement or authorize or approve, or consent to, any of the foregoing and (iii) the Issuer will not knowingly take, or knowingly permit to be taken, any action which, other than the performance of its obligations under the Issuer Documents and the Operative Agreements, would reasonably be expected to result in the lowering or withdrawal of the then current rating of any Equipment Note by the applicable Rating Agency.

(o) Subsidiaries. Except with the consent of the Indenture Trustee (acting at the Direction of the Requisite Majority), the Issuer will not have or establish any Subsidiaries.

(p) Restriction on Asset Dealings. The Issuer shall not sell, transfer, release or otherwise dispose of any of, or grant options, warrants or other rights with respect to, any of its assets to any Person other than as expressly permitted or contemplated in the Operative Agreements.

(q) Organizational Documents. Subject to Section 5.02(j), the Issuer shall not amend, modify or supplement its organizational documents or change its jurisdiction of organization without the consent of the Requisite Majority, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(r) Management Agreement and Administrative Services Agreement. The Issuer shall at all times be a party to the Management Agreement and shall, if necessary, take any steps required of it in connection with the appointment of any Successor Manager thereunder. The Issuer shall at all times be a party to the Administrative Services Agreement or a substitute agreement substantially similar thereto.

(s) Insurance Agreement. The Issuer shall at all times be a party to the Insurance Agreement and shall, if necessary, take any steps required of it in connection with the appointment of any Successor Insurance Manager thereunder.

(t) Condition. The Issuer, at its own cost and expense, shall maintain, repair and keep each Portfolio Railcar, and cause the Manager under the Management Agreement to maintain, repair and keep each Portfolio Railcar, (i) according to Prudent Industry Practice and in all material respects, in good working order, and in good physical condition for railcars of a similar age and usage, normal wear and tear excepted, (ii) in a manner in all material respects consistent with maintenance practices used by the Manager, in respect of railcars owned, leased or managed by the Manager similar in type to such Portfolio Railcar or with respect to any Portfolio Railcar that is subject to a Net Lease, maintenance practices used by the applicable Lessee, in respect of railcars similar in type to such Portfolio Railcar used by such Lessee on its domestic routes in the United States (provided, however, that after the return to the Manager of any Portfolio Railcar which was subject to a Net Lease immediately prior to such return, such Portfolio Railcar shall be maintained and repaired in all material respects in a manner consistent with maintenance practices used by the Manager in respect of railcars owned, leased or managed by the Manager similar in type to such Portfolio Railcar), (iii) in accordance with all manufacturer’s warranties in effect but only to the extent that the lack of compliance therewith would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the coverage thereunder and in accordance with all applicable provisions, if any, of insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 5.04 and (iv) in compliance in all material respects with any applicable laws and regulations from time to time in effect, including, without limitation, the Field Manual of the AAR, FRA rules and regulations and Interchange Rules as they apply to the maintenance and operation of the Portfolio Railcars in interchange regardless of upon whom such applicable laws and regulations are nominally imposed; provided, however, that, so long as the Manager or, with respect to any Portfolio Railcar subject to a Lease which is a Net Lease, the applicable Lessee, as the case may be, is similarly contesting such law or regulation with respect to all other similar equipment owned or operated by Manager or, with respect to any Portfolio Railcar subject to a Net Lease, the applicable Lessee, as the case may be, the Issuer (or such Lessee) may, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, contest the validity or application of any such standard, rule or regulation in any manner that does not (w) materially interfere with the use, possession, operation or return of any of the Portfolio Railcars, (x) materially adversely affect the rights or interests of the Indenture Trustee in the Portfolio Railcars, (y) expose any Secured Party or the Indenture Trustee to criminal sanctions or (z) violate any maintenance requirements contained in any insurance policy required to be maintained by the Issuer under this Master Indenture if such violation would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the coverage thereunder; provided further, that the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in reasonable detail of any such contest upon the Issuer or the Manager becoming aware thereof. In no event shall the Issuer discriminate in any material respect as to the use or maintenance of any Portfolio Railcar (including the periodicity of maintenance or recordkeeping in respect of such

Portfolio Railcar) as compared to equipment of a similar nature which the Manager owns or manages. The Issuer will maintain in all material respects all records, logs and other materials required by relevant industry standards or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Portfolio Railcars required to be maintained in respect of any Portfolio Railcar.

(u) Use. The Issuer shall be entitled to the possession of the Portfolio Railcars and to the use of the Portfolio Railcars by it or any Affiliate in the United States and subject to the remaining provisions of this subsection, Canada and Mexico, only in the manner for which the Portfolio Railcars were designed and intended and so as to subject the Portfolio Railcars only to ordinary wear and tear. In no event shall the Issuer use, store or permit the use or storage of any Portfolio Railcar in any jurisdiction not included in the insurance coverage required by Section 5.04(f). The Portfolio Railcars shall be used primarily on domestic routes in the United States and on routes in Canada, and in no event shall the mileage usage of the Portfolio Railcars in interchange within Mexico exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total mileage usage of the Portfolio Railcars in interchange in the aggregate (as determined by mileage records and measured at the end of each calendar year).

(v) Custody of Portfolio Leases. Promptly after entering into a Future Lease, the Issuer shall deliver a Rider constituting a Chattel Paper Original to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(w) Portfolio Railcar Total Loss. In the event that any Portfolio Railcar shall suffer a Total Loss, the Issuer shall (or shall cause the Manager to) promptly and fully inform the Indenture Trustee of such Total Loss once becoming aware of the same.

(x) Certain Reports. No later than ten Business Days following April 30, 2012 (or December 31, 2011 with respect to clause (iii) below), and no later than ten Business Days following each April 30 (or each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, with respect to clause (iii) below) thereafter, the Issuer will furnish (or cause the Manager under the Management Agreement to furnish) to the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency an accurate statement, as of the preceding December 31 (or as of the preceding calendar quarter with respect to clause (iii) below) (i) showing the amount, description and reporting marks of the Portfolio Railcars, the amount, description and reporting marks of all Portfolio Railcars that may have suffered a Total Loss during the twelve months ending on such December 31 (or since the Initial Closing Date, in the case of the first such statement), and such other information regarding the condition or repair of the Portfolio Railcars as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request, (ii) stating that in the case of all Portfolio Railcars repainted during the period covered by such statement, the markings required by Section 2.2(i) of the Management Agreement shall have been preserved or replaced, (iii) showing the percentage of use in Canada and Mexico based on the total mileage traveled by the Portfolio Railcars for the prior calendar quarter as reported to the Manager by railroads (or Lessees in the case of Net Leases, as applicable) and (iv) stating that, except as disclosed therein, the Issuer is not aware of any condition of any Portfolio Railcar which would cause such Portfolio Railcar not to comply in any material respect with the rules and regulations of the FRA and the interchange rules of the Field Manual of the AAR as they apply to the maintenance and operation of the Portfolio Railcars in interchange and any other requirements hereunder.

(y) Inspection.

(i) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Manager Termination Event, the Indenture Trustee, at the Direction of the Requisite Majority, together with the agents, representatives, accountants and legal and other advisors of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Inspection Representatives”), shall have the right to (A) conduct a field examination of a reasonable representative sample of the Portfolio Railcars, which may not in any event in the first instance exceed 100 Portfolio Railcars (each such inspection, a “Unit Inspection”), (B) (I) inspect all documents (the “Related Documents”), including, without limitation, all related Leases, insurance policies, warranties or other agreements, relating to the Portfolio Railcars and the other Collateral (each such inspection, a “Related Document Inspection”) and (II) inspect each of the Issuer’s and the Manager’s books, records and databases (which shall include reasonable access to the Issuer’s and the Manager’s computers and computer records to the extent necessary to determine compliance with the Operative Agreements) (collectively, the “Books and Records”) with respect to the Portfolio Railcars and the other Collateral and the Related Documents (including without limitation data supporting all reporting requirements under the Operative Agreements) (each such inspection, a “Books and Records Inspection”) and (C) discuss (I) the affairs, finances and accounts of the Issuer (with respect to itself) and the Manager (with respect to itself and the Issuer) and (II) the Portfolio Railcars and the other Collateral, the Related Documents and the Books and Records, in each case with the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of each of the Issuer and the Manager, as applicable (the foregoing clauses (I) and (II) a “Company Inspection”) (the Unit Inspections, the Related Document Inspections, the Books and Records Inspections and the Company Inspections described in clauses (A), (B) and (C), collectively, the “Inspections”).

(ii) All Inspections shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer (including the reasonable legal and accounting fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee, and its Inspection Representatives). All Inspections shall be conducted upon reasonable request and notice to the Issuer (with respect to itself) and the Manager (with respect to itself and the Issuer) and shall (A) be conducted during normal business hours, (B) be subject to the Issuer’s and the Manager’s customary security procedures, if any, and (C) not unreasonably disrupt the Issuer’s or the Manager’s business.

(iii) If in connection with or as a result of the initial Railcar Inspection, the Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that an Inspection Issue (as defined below) has occurred, then the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to conduct additional Inspections from time to time consisting of additional samplings of Portfolio Railcars in numbers that the Indenture Trustee or its Inspection Representative determines to be a reasonable sampling (each, an “Additional Inspection” and collectively, “Additional Inspections”) sufficient to confirm the scope of any such Inspection Issues. “Inspection Issue” means the discovery that a material portion of the Portfolio Railcars inspected are not being used or maintained in a manner that complies with the requirements of this Master Indenture.

Without prejudice to the right to conduct Inspections, all parties granted inspection rights hereunder shall confer with a view toward coordinating their conduct with respect to the Inspections in order to minimize the costs thereof and business disruption attendant thereto.

(z) Modifications.

(i) Required Modifications. In the event a Required Modification to a Portfolio Railcar is required, the Issuer agrees to make or cause to be made such Required Modification at its own expense; provided, that the Issuer (or applicable Lessee) may, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, contest the validity or application of the law, rule, requirement or regulation requiring such Required Modification in any manner that does not (w) materially interfere with the use, possession, operation, maintenance or return of any Portfolio Railcar, (x) materially adversely affect the rights or interests of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in the Portfolio Railcars, (y) expose the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to criminal sanctions, or (z) violate any maintenance requirements contained in any insurance policy required to be maintained by the Issuer under this Master Indenture if such violation would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the coverage thereunder; provided further, that the Issuer shall notify (or cause to be notified) the Indenture Trustee thereof, which notice shall also set forth the time period for the making of such Required Modification and the Issuer’s or Manager’s reasonable estimate of the cost thereof.

(ii) Optional Modifications. The Issuer at any time may or may permit a Lessee to, in its discretion and at its own or such Lessee’s cost and expense, modify, alter or improve any Portfolio Railcar in a manner which is not a Required Modification; provided that (A) no such optional modification shall diminish the fair market value, utility or remaining economic useful life of such Portfolio Railcar below the fair market value, utility or remaining economic useful life thereof immediately prior to such optional modification, in more than a de minimis respect, assuming such Portfolio Railcar was then at least in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Master Indenture and (B) the Issuer, or the Manager on its behalf, shall conclude in good faith that the proposed optional modification is likely to enhance the marketability of the Portfolio Railcar (or such optional modification is requested by a Lessee).

The Indenture Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Indenture Trustee may accept a copy of a resolution of, in the case of the Issuer, and in the case of any other party to any Operative Agreement, the governing body of such Person, certified in an accompanying Officer’s Certificate as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and may for all purposes hereof conclusively rely on a certificate, signed by an officer of any duly authorized Person, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Indenture Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the Direction of the Holders in accordance herewith relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement.

The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Master Indenture shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible or liable for the manner of performance of, any obligations of the Issuer or the Administrator under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement or any of the Operative Agreements.

When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 4.01(f) or 4.01(g) hereof, such expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating to creditors’ rights generally.

The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of such event from the Issuer, the Administrator or Noteholders owning Equipment Notes aggregating not less than 10% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes.

The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the performance of the Issuer, the Manager, the Administrator or any other party to the Operative Agreements, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such parties.

Except as expressly set forth in the Operative Agreements, the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper document, unless any such Operative Agreement directs the Indenture Trustee to make such investigation.

Section 6.08 Indenture Trustee May Hold Securities. The Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Note Registrar or any of their Affiliates or any other agent in their respective individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of securities and, may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent, Note Registrar or such other agent.

Section 6.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be an Indenture Trustee which shall meet the Eligibility Requirements. If such corporation publishes reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.09, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.09 to act as Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall resign immediately as Indenture Trustee in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.01 hereof.

Section 6.10 Reports by the Issuer.

Each of the Indenture Trustee and by its acceptance of the Equipment Notes, the Noteholders, hereby agrees that, if the Indenture Trustee shall fail to act in accordance with Direction by the Requisite Majority (with respect to the Equipment Notes as a whole) at any time at which it is so required to act hereunder

or under any other Operative Agreement, then the Requisite Majority shall be entitled to take such action directly in its own capacity or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee. If the Indenture Trustee fails to act in accordance with Direction by the Requisite Majority when so required to act under any Operative Agreement, then the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the further Direction of the Requisite Majority, irrevocably appoint the Requisite Majority, and any authorized agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the name of the Indenture Trustee or its own name, to take any and all actions that the Indenture Trustee is authorized to take under any Operative Agreement, to the extent the Indenture Trustee has failed to take such action when and as required under such Operative Agreement.

The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such Indenture Supplement or Series Supplement which affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement or otherwise.

Section 9.04 Effect of Indenture Supplements. Upon the execution of any Indenture Supplement under this Article, this Master Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such Indenture Supplement shall form a part of this Master Indenture for all purposes.

Section 9.05 Reference in Equipment Notes to Supplements. Equipment Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any Indenture Supplement or Series Supplement pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Issuer, bear a notation in form as to any matter provided for in such Indenture Supplement or Series Supplement. If the Issuer shall so determine, new Equipment Notes so modified as to conform may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Equipment Notes.

Section 9.06 Issuance of Additional Series of Equipment Notes. The Issuer may from time to time issue one or more Additional Series of Equipment Notes pursuant to a Series Supplement executed by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that will specify the Principal Terms of such Series. The terms of such Series Supplement may modify or amend the terms of this Master Indenture solely as applied to such Series. No Series Supplement may amend this Master Indenture (or a related Series Supplement) as applicable to any other Series except with the consent of the Control Party for each other Series and in accordance with the terms of this Master Indenture. A Series Supplement may contain special or additional voting requirements that apply with respect to amendments or waivers of or under such Series Supplement, or to matters arising under this Master Indenture as to which Noteholders of such Series are entitled to vote, provided that no such requirement may be inconsistent with the requirements of this Master Indenture. Any Additional Series (or Class thereof) will be issued as a term Series or Class, i.e., it will have a predetermined, fixed or scheduled principal amortization established in the related Series Supplement. Additional Series may be issued for the purpose of financing the Issuer’s acquisition of additional Railcars and Leases, for the purpose of refinancing one or more preexisting Series (in whole and not in part) for the purpose of raising additional funds for the Issuer or a combination of the foregoing purposes.

The ability of the Issuer to issue such Additional Series and the obligation of the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Equipment Notes of such Additional Series and to execute and deliver the related Series Supplement is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) the Issuer shall have given the Indenture Trustee, the Manager, each Rating Agency and each other party entitled thereto pursuant to the relevant Series Supplement notice of the Additional Series and the proposed Series Issuance Date;

(b) the Issuer shall have obtained Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such Additional Series and each other Series of Equipment Notes then Outstanding;

(c) no Manager Termination Event, Event of Default or Early Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the issuance of such Additional Series, and no Manager Termination Event, Event of Default or Early Amortization Event would occur as a result of closing the transactions associated with the issuance of such Additional Series;

(d) no Additional Interest shall be due and owing, and all scheduled amortization payments on all Outstanding Series due at or before the date of the issuance of such Additional Series shall have been made as of the date of issuance of such Additional Series;

(e) the issuance of such Additional Series shall not result in noncompliance with the Concentration Limits;

(f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee, on or prior to the date of issuance of such Additional Series of Notes:

(i) an original copy of the Series Supplement for such Additional Series, duly executed by the Issuer;

(ii) a copy of the Assigned Agreements for such Additional Series, duly executed by each party thereto;

(iii) one or more officer’s certificates, duly executed by a responsible officer and providing for such certifications and other matters as the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably require; and

(iv) one or more opinions of counsel, duly executed by counsel to the Issuer and providing for such matters as the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably require, including without limitation, an opinion from tax counsel to the Issuer (which opinion may rely, as to factual matters, on a certificate of a Person whose duties relate to the matters being certified) to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (a) such action will not cause any Equipment Note of any Outstanding Series or Class for which an opinion of counsel to the Issuer was rendered in connection with the original issuance of such Equipment Note to the effect that such Equipment Note is treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to be characterized as other than debt, and (b) such action will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation;

(g) while any other Series is Outstanding, any issuance of an Additional Series will be subject to the additional condition that the Book LTV Ratio immediately after the

acquisition of additional Railcars with the proceeds of issuance of such Additional Series shall not be greater than the Book LTV Ratio as of the Initial Closing Date; and

(h) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that all of the conditions specified in clauses (a) through (g), as applicable, above have been satisfied.

Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, the Indenture Trustee shall execute the Series Supplement and authenticate and deliver the Equipment Notes of such Additional Series.

ARTICLE X

MODIFICATION AND WAIVER

Section 10.01 Modification and Waiver with Consent of Holders. In the event that the Indenture Trustee receives a request for its consent to an amendment, modification or waiver under this Master Indenture, the Equipment Notes or any Operative Agreement relating to the Equipment Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of such proposed amendment, modification or waiver to each Noteholder asking whether or not to consent to such amendment, modification or waiver if such Noteholder’s consent is required pursuant to this Master Indenture; provided that any amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions described in Section 9.02 hereof is not permitted without the consent of each Noteholder required thereby; provided further, however, that any Event of Default may be waived in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof. The foregoing, however, shall not prevent the Issuer from amending any Lease of a Railcar, provided that such amendment is otherwise permitted by this Master Indenture and the Management Agreement.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, modification or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. Any such amendment, modification or waiver approved by the Direction of a Requisite Majority (and, if applicable, as to which Rating Agency Confirmation is given) will be binding on all Noteholders.

The Issuer shall give each Rating Agency prior notice of any amendment under this Section 10.01 and any amendments of its constitutive documents by the Issuer, and, after an amendment under this Section 10.01 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders and each Rating Agency a notice briefly describing such amendment. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment.

After an amendment, modification or waiver under this Section 10.01 becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, whether or not notation thereof is made on any Equipment Note held by such Holder.

Section 10.02 Modification Without Consent of Holders. Subject to Section 9.01 hereof, the Indenture Trustee may agree, without the consent of any Noteholder, to any modification (other than those referred to in Section 10.01) of any provision of any Operative Agreement or of the relevant Equipment Notes to correct a manifest error or an error which is of a formal, minor

or technical nature. Any such modification shall be notified to the Holders as soon as practicable thereafter and shall be binding on all the Holders.

Section 10.03 Consent of Hedge Providers and Liquidity Facility Providers. No amendment, modification or waiver to this Master Indenture or a Series Supplement shall be permitted if such amendment, modification or waiver could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect a Hedge Provider without the prior written consent of such Hedge Provider. No amendment, modification or waiver to this Master Indenture or a Series Supplement shall be permitted if such amendment, modification or waiver could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect a Liquidity Facility Provider without the prior written consent of such Liquidity Facility Provider; provided that if a Liquidity Facility Provider is in default under one or more of its Liquidity Facility Documents, then (i) Section 3.11 is the only Section of this Master Indenture that shall be considered for purposes of this Section 10.03 with respect to such Liquidity Facility Provider’s consent rights and (ii) the only Sections of a Series Supplement, if any, that shall be considered for purposes of this Section 10.03 with respect to such Liquidity Facility Provider’s consent rights must be expressly identified as such in that Series Supplement.

Section 10.04 Subordination and Priority of Payments. The subordination provisions contained in the Flow of Funds and Article XI hereof may not be amended or modified without the consent of each Noteholder of the Outstanding Equipment Notes. In no event shall the provisions set forth in the Flow of Funds relating to the priority of the Service Provider Fees and Operating Expenses be amended or modified. The foregoing sentences in each case are subject to the provisions of Section 9.02(b).

Section 10.05 Execution of Amendments by Indenture Trustee. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any amendment or modification to this Master Indenture permitted by this Article X or Section 3.16(b) or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Master Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Master Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Master Indenture or otherwise.

ARTICLE XI

SUBORDINATION

Section 11.01 Subordination.

(a) Each Noteholder and Service Provider agrees that its claims against the Issuer for payment of amounts are (i) subordinate to any claims ranking in priority thereto as set forth in the Flow of Funds hereof, including any post-petition interest (each such prior claim, a “Senior Claim”), which subordination shall continue until the holder of such Senior Claim (a “Senior Claimant”), or the Indenture Trustee on its behalf, has received the full cash amount of such Senior Claim, and (ii) limited in any event to the amount of funds available to the Issuer under the Flow of Funds. Any amounts not paid by the Issuer as a result of the limitation in

clause (ii) of the foregoing sentence shall not constitute a “claim” against the Issuer for purposes of Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder and Service Provider is also obligated to hold for the benefit of the Senior Claimant any amounts received by such Noteholder or Servicer Provider, as the case may be, which, under the terms of this Master Indenture, should have been paid to or on behalf of the Senior Claimant and to pay over such amounts to the Indenture Trustee for application as provided in the Flow of Funds. Each Noteholder also agrees to execute and deliver such instruments and documents, and take all further action, that a Senior Claimant may reasonable request in order to effectuate the above. Each Noteholder’s right with respect to any Collateral shall be subordinated to the rights of Senior Claimants. Amounts deposited in any Indenture Account for a defeasance of the Equipment Notes or for an Optional Redemption of the Equipment Notes will not be subject to the foregoing subordination provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph is not intended to limit the rights of Hedge Providers to receive payments other than in accordance with the Flow of Funds pursuant to Sections 3.08(c), 3.11(c), 3.14 and 3.16 of this Master Indenture.

(b) If any Senior Claimant receives any payment in respect of any Senior Claim which is subsequently invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or other party, then, to the extent such payment is so invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid, such Senior Claim shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article XI, all as if such payment had not been received.

(c) Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, and each other payee pursuant to the Flow of Funds, by entering into the Operative Agreement to which it is a party, authorizes and expressly directs the Indenture Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XI, and appoints the Indenture Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise) any actions tending towards liquidation of the property and assets of the Issuer or the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its Equipment Notes in the form required in those proceedings.

(d) No right of any holder of any Senior Claim to enforce the subordination of any subordinated claim shall be impaired by an act or failure to act by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or by any failure by either the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to comply with this Master Indenture, unless such failure shall materially prejudice the rights of the subordinated claimant.

(e) Each Noteholder, by accepting an Equipment Note, and each other payee pursuant to the Flow of Funds, by entering into the Operative Agreement to which it is a party, acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Claim, whether such Senior Claim was created or acquired before or after the issuance of such holder’s claim, to acquire and continue to hold such Senior Claim and such holder of any Senior Claim shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold such Senior Claim.

(f) The Noteholders of each Series shall have the right to receive, to the extent necessary to make the required payments with respect to the Equipment Notes of such Series at the times and in the amounts specified herein and in the related Series Supplement, (i) the portion of Collections allocable to Noteholders of such Series pursuant to this Master Indenture and the related Series Supplement, (ii) funds on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account allocated in accordance with the terms of this Master Indenture and the related Series Supplement and (iii) funds on deposit in any Series Account for such Series. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of its Equipment Notes, (x) acknowledges and agrees that except as expressly provided herein and in a Series Supplement, the Noteholders of a Series shall not have any interest in any Series Account for the benefit of any other Series (to the extent amounts were deposited therein in accordance with the Operative Agreements), and (y) ratifies and confirms the terms of this Master Indenture and the Operative Agreements executed in connection with such Noteholder’s Series. With respect to each Collection Period, Collections on deposit in the Collections Account will be allocated to each Series then Outstanding in accordance with the Flow of Funds and the related Series Supplements.

ARTICLE XII

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

Section 12.01 Discharge of Liability on the Equipment Notes; Defeasance.

(a) When (i) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee all Outstanding Equipment Notes (other than Equipment Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof) for cancellation or (ii) all Outstanding Equipment Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 3.16(a) hereof and the Issuer irrevocably deposits in the Redemption/Defeasance Account funds sufficient to pay at maturity, or upon Optional Redemption of, all Outstanding Equipment Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or the Redemption Date (other than Equipment Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.08), and if in either case the Issuer pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer including any premium, then this Master Indenture shall, subject to Section 12.01(c), cease to be of further effect. The Indenture Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Master Indenture on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel, at the cost and expense of the Issuer, to the effect that any conditions precedent to a discharge of this Master Indenture have been met.

(b) Subject to Sections 12.01(c) and 12.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all its obligations under the Equipment Notes or any Class or Series of Equipment Notes and this Master Indenture (the “legal defeasance” option) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 5.02, 5.03, 5.04 and 4.01 (other than with respect to a failure to comply with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(e) (only with respect to the Issuer) and 4.01(f) (only with respect to the Issuer)) (the “covenant defeasance” option). The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of any Equipment Notes subject to such legal defeasance may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Equipment Notes may not be

accelerated because of an Event of Default (other than with respect to a failure to comply with Section 5.02(j), 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(e) and 4.01(f)).

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates.

(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 5.02(j), Article VI, Sections 8.01, 12.04, 12.05 and 12.06 shall survive until all the Equipment Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 8.01, 12.04, 12.05 and 13.07 shall survive.

Section 12.02 Conditions to Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

(a) The Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust in the Redemption/Defeasance Account any one or any combination of (A) money, (B) obligations of, and supported by the full faith and credit of, the U.S. Government (“U.S. Government Obligations”) or (C) obligations of corporate issuers (“Corporate Obligations”) (provided that any such Corporate Obligations are rated AA+, or the equivalent, or higher, by each Rating Agency at such time and shall not have a maturity of longer than three (3) years from the date of defeasance) for the payment of all principal, premium, if any, and interest to maturity or redemption on the Class (or Series) of Equipment Notes being defeased;

(b) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the Corporate Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due and interest to maturity or redemption on the Class (or Series) of the Equipment Notes being defeased;

(c) 91 days pass after the deposit described in clause (a) above is made and during the 91-day period no Event of Default specified in Section 4.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;

(d) the deposit described in clause (a) above does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Issuer;

(e) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit described in clause (a) does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Noteholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax

on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;

(g) if the related Equipment Notes are then listed on any securities exchange, the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit, defeasance and discharge will not cause such Equipment Notes to be delisted;

(h) the Issuer has obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 12.02;

(i) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Equipment Notes as contemplated by this Article XII have been complied with; and

(j) the Issuer shall only defease the Equipment Notes of a Class in their entirety, not partially.

Section 12.03 Application of Trust Money. The Indenture Trustee shall hold in trust in the Redemption/Defeasance Account money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article XII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Master Indenture and the applicable Series Supplements to the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the applicable Equipment Notes. Money and securities so held in trust are not subject to Article X hereof.

Section 12.04 Repayment to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon request any excess money or securities held by it at any time. Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Indenture Trustee shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by it for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two (2) years and, thereafter, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors. Such unclaimed funds shall remain uninvested and in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for interest on such unclaimed funds.

Section 12.05 Indemnity for Government Obligations and Corporate Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations, or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations.

Section 12.06 Reinstatement. If the Indenture Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Article XII (and the applicable Series Supplements) by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Master Indenture and the applicable Series Supplements and the Equipment Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XII until such time as the Indenture Trustee is permitted to apply all such money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Article XII, the applicable Series Supplements and the

applicable Equipment Notes; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Equipment Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Equipment Notes to receive such payment from the money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations held by the Indenture Trustee.

ARTICLE XIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 13.01 Right of Indenture Trustee to Perform. If the Issuer for any reason fails to observe or punctually to perform any of its obligations to the Indenture Trustee, whether under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement or any of the other Operative Agreements or otherwise, the Indenture Trustee shall have power (but shall have no obligation), on behalf of or in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, to perform such obligations and to take any steps which the Indenture Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate with a view to remedying, or mitigating the consequences of, such failure by the Issuer; provided that no exercise or failure to exercise this power by the Indenture Trustee shall in any way prejudice the Indenture Trustee’s other rights under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement or any of the other Operative Agreements.

Section 13.02 Waiver. Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Master Indenture or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent and estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given. The failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Master Indenture by any party hereto or the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect. No failure on the part of the Indenture Trustee to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Master Indenture are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 13.03 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Master Indenture or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Master Indenture shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable and the remainder of this Master Indenture, and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of this Master Indenture. The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Indenture Trustee hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the Indenture Trustee to pursue any other remedy available to it.

Section 13.04 Notices. All notices, demands, certificates, requests, directions, instructions and communications hereunder (“Notices”) shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon receipt when sent through the mails, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, with such receipt to be effective the date of delivery indicated on the return receipt, or (b) one Business Day after delivery to an overnight courier, or (c) on the date personally delivered to an authorized officer of the party to which sent, or (d) on the date transmitted by legible telecopier transmission with a confirmation of receipt, in all cases addressed to the recipient as follows:

Section 13.05 Assignments. This Master Indenture shall be a continuing obligation of the Issuer and shall (i) be binding upon the Issuer and its successors and assigns and (ii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Indenture Trustee, and by its successors, transferees and assigns. The Issuer may not assign any of its obligations under this Master Indenture or any Series Supplement, or delegate any of its duties hereunder.

Section 13.06 Currency Conversion.

(a) If any amount is received or recovered by the Administrator, the Manager or the Indenture Trustee in respect of this Master Indenture or any part thereof (whether as a result of the enforcement of the security created under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement or pursuant to this Master Indenture or any judgment or order of any court or in the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer or by way of damages for any breach of any obligation to make any payment under or in respect of the Issuer’s obligations hereunder or any part thereof or otherwise) in a currency (the “Received Currency”) other than the currency in which such amount was expressed to be payable (the “Agreed Currency”), then the amount in the Received Currency actually received or recovered by the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, only constitute a discharge to the Issuer to the extent of the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Administrator, the Manager or the Indenture Trustee was or would have been able in accordance with its normal procedures to purchase on the date of actual receipt or recovery (or, if that is not practicable, on the next date on which it is so practicable), and, if the amount of the Agreed Currency which the Administrator, the Manager or the Indenture Trustee is or would have been so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Agreed Currency which was originally payable by the Issuer, the Issuer shall pay to the Administrator, the Manager or the Indenture Trustee such amount as the Administrator, Manager or the Indenture Trustee shall determine to be necessary to indemnify such Person against any Loss sustained by it as a result (including the cost of making any such purchase and any premiums, commissions or other charges paid or incurred in connection therewith) and so that such indemnity, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer distinct from its obligation to discharge the amount which was originally payable by the Issuer and (ii) shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Administrator, the Manager or the Indenture Trustee and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of the amount originally payable by the Issuer or any judgment or order and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required.

(b) For the purpose of or pending the discharge of any of the moneys and liabilities hereby secured the Administrator and the Manager may convert any moneys received, recovered or realized by the Administrator or the Manager, as the case may be, under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement (including the proceeds of any previous conversion under this Section 13.06) from their existing currency of denomination into the currency of denomination (if different) of such moneys and liabilities and any conversion from one currency to another for the purposes of any of the foregoing shall be made at the Indenture Trustee’s then prevailing spot selling rate at its office by which such conversion is made. If not otherwise required to be applied in the Received Currency, the Administrator or the Manager, as the case may be, acting on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall promptly convert any moneys in such Received Currency other than Dollars into Dollars. Each previous reference in this Section to a currency extends to funds of that currency and funds of one currency may be converted into different funds of the same currency.

RAILROAD CAR LEASE AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT dated as of the ___ day of __________, 20_ (this “Agreement”), between TRINITY INDUSTRIES LEASING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 (“TILC”, and whether as principal on behalf of itself as lessor or as agent for the lessor as contemplated in Article 30, the “Lessor”) and ____________, a(n) __________________ (corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership), with its principal office at ____________, as lessee (“Lessee”).

In consideration of the mutual terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

LEASE AGREEMENT

Lessor agrees to lease to Lessee and Lessee agrees to lease from Lessor, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, the railroad cars (herein collectively called the “cars” and separately a “car”) set out and identified in the Rider or Riders hereto and such additional Riders as may from time to time be executed by the parties incorporating the terms of this Agreement. Each Rider shall set forth a brief description of the car or cars covered thereby, including such facts as the number of cars, the Association of American Railroads (“AAR”) or the United States Department of Transportation (“DOT”)¹ specifications, rent, the term throughout which the car or cars shall remain in Lessee’s service and such other information as may be agreed by the parties. Lessor and Lessee agree that each Rider hereto shall constitute a separate lease which incorporates the terms of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Lease” shall mean the lease transaction with respect to a particular car or cars evidenced by the related Rider incorporating the terms of this Agreement. All cars leased pursuant to a Rider are subject to the terms of this Agreement and such additional terms as are set forth in the Rider applicable thereto. Each Rider shall be severable from any other cars or Riders relating to this Agreement and shall become a separate Lease which is separately transferable for all purposes. It is the intent of all parties to this Agreement to characterize this Agreement as a “true lease” (as distinguished from a financing arrangement for the Lessee’s acquisition of ownership of the subject cars).

Lessor agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered to Lessee, each car being subjected to a Lease pursuant to a Rider and Lessee agrees to accept such delivery and lease such cars under the related Lease hereunder, in each case on the date and at the location specified in the related Rider (and subject to any other delivery conditions or requirements that may be so specified) it being understood the Lessee shall be responsible for any losses caused to the Lessor for Lessee’s failure to accept delivery where the cars so delivered meet the conditions and requirement provided in this Agreement. Each car shall be deemed to be delivered to the Lessee on the date upon which it is received or otherwise deemed delivered pursuant to the related Rider, except that any car which is already in Lessee’s service under a predecessor expiring agreement (other than this Agreement) or a predecessor agreement being terminated in connection with the parties’ entering into this Agreement shall be deemed delivered to Lessee hereunder immediately upon the expiration or termination of such other agreement. Lessor shall be excused from any agreement to deliver the subject cars, and Lessor shall not be liable, for any causes beyond the reasonable control of Lessor (including, but not limited to, delays caused by fire, labor difficulties, delays of carriers and materials suppliers, governmental authority, late delivery by the manufacturer of the cars or late delivery by a prior lessee) and, in the event of a delay in such delivery, Lessor shall deliver the cars to Lessee as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. Lessor shall also be excused from any agreement to deliver the subject cars, and the Lessor shall have no resulting liability to Lessee for failure to deliver, if prior to the delivery of the subject cars there occurs a material adverse change in the condition (including but not limited to the financial condition or prospects) of the Lessee (or any guarantor or co-obligor of Lessee, if applicable) or any event which, in the good faith judgment of the Lessor would reasonably be expected to result in such a material adverse change.

ARTICLE 3

CONDITION OF CARS — ACCEPTANCE

All cars delivered hereunder shall be in satisfactory condition for movement in the normal interchange of rail traffic and shall otherwise comply with the descriptions and specifications contained in the applicable Rider. Lessee shall be solely responsible for determining that cars are in proper condition for loading and shipment, except for those responsibilities which, under applicable law, have been assumed by the railroads. Lessee shall inspect the cars promptly after they are delivered and shall notify Lessor in writing within five days after delivery of its rejection of any car, and the specific reasons for such rejection, which shall be limited to the failure of the cars so delivered to comply with the first sentence of this Article 3. Failure by the Lessee to so notify Lessor of rejection of any car within five days after delivery, or, if earlier, the successful loading of such car, shall constitute acceptance of such car or cars, as the case may be, by Lessee and shall be conclusive evidence of the fit and suitable condition of such car or cars.

EXHIBIT D

Page 2

If Lessee fails to accept any cars as a result of defects properly reported to Lessor, Lessor shall be provided such additional time as is necessary to correct any such defects, except to the extent that the parties may otherwise agree in writing at such time.

Lessee’s acceptance, however and whenever effected, shall be deemed effective as of the delivery date of a particular car. Such acceptance shall conclusively establish that such cars conform to the applicable standards set forth in the Rider(s) and the Interchange Rules of the AAR (the “Interchange Rules”).

ARTICLE 4

RENT

Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor for the use of each car the monthly rent set forth in the Rider applicable to such car from the date such car is delivered to Lessee, in accordance with Article 2, until such car is returned to Lessor, as hereinafter provided in Article 17. Rent shall be payable in U.S. Dollars and in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month (provided, however, that the rent for each car for the month in which it is delivered shall be prorated for the number of days, including the day of delivery, remaining in such month at a daily rate based upon a 365 day year and shall be payable on or before the first day of the next succeeding month together with the rent for such month). Rent shall be paid to Lessor by electronic funds transfer to Trinity Leasing Customer Payment Account, Wilmington Trust Company, ABA # ________________, Account # ____________, or at such other address as Lessor may specify by notice to Lessee. Except as set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation, the provisions of Article 10) or a related Rider rent shall be paid without deduction, abatement, set off or counterclaim and without notice or demand.

Late Rent — If Lessee has not paid rent or other amounts payable hereunder for a period of longer than ten (10) days, Lessee shall pay Lessor, as additional rent, interest on such unpaid sum from its due date to the date of payment by Lessee at the rate per annum equal to three percentage points above the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank (or its successor). Any costs incurred by Lessor in collecting rent or any other sum of money due under this Agreement wrongfully withheld by Lessee, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, will be paid by Lessee.

Holdover Rent — Until any car is returned to Lessor in the condition required hereunder after an expiration or termination of the related Lease, Lessee shall continue to pay rent for such car and to comply with all other payment and other obligations under this Agreement as though such expiration or other termination had not occurred. If sixty (60) days after the expiration or other termination of the related Lease, Lessee has not returned any car, Lessor may charge, and Lessee shall pay Lessor upon demand, one hundred twenty-five (125%) of the rent for such car in effect immediately prior to such expiration or termination of the Lease for such car. Nothing in this Article 4 shall give Lessee the right to retain possession of any car after the expiration or other termination of the Lease with respect to such car.

ARTICLE 5

MILEAGE ALLOWANCE

Lessor shall collect all mileage earned by the cars during the lease term and shall credit to the rent of Lessee such mileage earned by the cars while in the service of Lessee, as and when received from the railroads according to, and subject to, all rules of the tariffs of the railroads.

ARTICLE 6

TERM

This Agreement shall be effective as dated and will expire upon the completion of the leasing arrangement shown on the related Rider(s) of the last car or cars covered under a Lease hereunder. The Lease term, with respect to each car covered by a particular Rider, shall commence on the first day of the succeeding month after the delivery of the last car subject to the subject Lease, and shall terminate as specified in such Rider, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or such Rider.

ARTICLE 7

USE AND POSSESSION

Throughout the continuance of this Agreement so long as Lessee is not in default under this Agreement or any related Rider(s), Lessee shall be entitled to possession of each car from the date the Lease term commences as to such car. Lessee shall use each car only in the manner for which it was designed and intended, and Lessee shall subject the cars only to normal wear and tear. In addition, Lessee agrees that the cars shall at all times be used: (a) in conformity with all Interchange Rules; (b) in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any related Rider(s); (c) in compliance with the laws of each jurisdiction in which the same are operated and in which the same may be located, and (d) predominantly in the continental limits of the United States.

In the event any car is used outside of the continental United States, for any reason whatsoever, Lessee shall assume full responsibility for all costs, taxes, duties or other charges incidental to such use including costs incurred in returning car to the continental United States.

Each car is limited to the number of total loaded and empty miles per calendar year shown on the Rider and is subject to a surcharge also shown on the Rider for all excess miles.

Lessee shall not exceed the weight limitations prescribed for operation of cars in unrestricted interchange service as set forth under Interchange Rule 70 without Lessor’s prior written consent.

ARTICLE 8

ADDITIONAL CHARGES BY RAILROADS

Lessee agrees to use the cars, upon each railroad over which cars shall move, in accordance with the then prevailing tariffs to which each railroad shall be a party; and if the operation or movements of any of the cars during the term hereof shall result in any charges being made against Lessor by any such railroad, or AAR in the case of equalization of mileage on tank cars operated on U.S. railroads, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of such charges within the period prescribed by and at the rate and under the conditions of the then prevailing tariffs. Lessee agrees to indemnify Lessor against any such charges, and shall be liable for any switching, demurrage, track storage, detention or special handling charges imposed on any car during the term hereof.

ARTICLE 9

LESSEE’S RIGHT TO TRANSFER OR SUBLEASE

Lessee shall not encumber, grant a security interest in, transfer, subcontract, sublease or assign any car or its interests and obligations pursuant to this Agreement (any a “Restricted Transfer”), nor shall a Restricted Transfer that occurs by operation of law or otherwise of Lessee’s interest in the cars or this Agreement be effective against Lessor without Lessor’s prior written consent. No Restricted Transfer of Lessee’s interest in the cars or this Agreement shall relieve Lessee from any of its obligations to Lessor under this Agreement. Any Restricted Transfer that is consented to by Lessor which is entered into by Lessee shall contain language in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor which expressly makes such encumbrance, transfer, sublease or assignment subject and subordinate to the interests of Lessor and of any chattel mortgagee, assignee, trustee or other holder of legal title to or security interest in the cars and/or the related Lease (but in any case, in respect to such transfers by and transferees of Lessor, subject to Article 23 hereof).

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, Lessee shall have the right to sublease any car for single trips to its customers or suppliers; provided, however, notwithstanding any such sublease, Lessee shall continue to remain liable to Lessor for the fulfillment of Lessee’s obligations and liabilities under the related Lease; provided, further, Lessor shall have the right, at any time, to withdraw the privilege of subleasing hereinabove granted to Lessee.

Notwithstanding any other rights provided Lessor in this Agreement, Lessee agrees to indemnify Lessor and hold Lessor harmless from any loss, cost or expense, including attorneys’ fees, incurred as a result of or with respect to any Restricted Transfer.

ARTICLE 10

MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY

Lessor agrees to maintain the cars in good condition and repair according to the Interchange Rules. Lessee agrees to notify Lessor promptly when any car is damaged or in need

EXHIBIT D

Page 5

of repair, and to forward such cars and any other cars subject to this Agreement to shops as directed by Lessor for repairs and/or periodic maintenance and inspections. No maintenance, alteration or repair to any of the cars shall be made or authorized by Lessee without Lessor’s prior written consent, except (i) Lessee shall, at its expense, replace any removable part (dome covers, hatch covers, outlet caps, etc.) if lost, stolen or broken and (ii) as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including, but not limited to the following two paragraphs relating to certain repairs on tank cars and xxxxxx cars, respectively). Replacement or repair by Lessee of any parts, equipment and/or accessories on any of the cars shall be with parts, equipment and/or accessories that are of like kind and of at least equal quality to those being replaced or repaired, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lessor. Lessee shall be responsible for all losses and damages caused by Lessee’s failure to use parts, equipment and/or accessories that are not of like kind and of at least equal quality to those being replaced or repaired. For the avoidance of doubt, title of all replacement parts or repaired parts shall be immediately vested in Lessor.

On tank cars, Lessee agrees that it will assume the responsibility for the maintenance and replacement of angle valves and check valves and, if such cars are so equipped, thermometer xxxxx, gauging devices, regulator valves, safety heads and top unloading valves.

On xxxxxx cars, Lessee will be responsible for inspection and cleaning of the operating mechanisms of the outlets, hatches and special fittings. Further, any damage to such outlets, hatches, special fittings or the operating mechanisms will be repaired for the account of the Lessee.

For all cars requiring maintenance or repair, Lessee shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with the removal, disposal and cleaning of commodities from the cars.

When a car is placed in a private shop for maintenance or repair, the rent shall cease on the date of arrival in the shop, except in the case where a car arrives without advance notice of defects from Lessee, in which case rent will cease on communication of such notice of defects to Lessor from Lessee, and shall be reinstated on the date that the car is forwarded from the shop or on the date that the car is ready to leave the shop, awaiting disposition instructions from Lessee. If any repairs are required as a result of the misuse by or negligence of Lessee or its consignee, agent or sublessee or while on a railroad that does not subscribe to, or fails to meet its responsibility under the Interchange Rules, or while on any private siding or track or any private or industrial railroad, the rent shall continue during the repair period, and Lessee agrees to pay Lessor for the cost of such repairs.

ARTICLE 11

LOSS OR DESTRUCTION

If any of the cars shall be completely destroyed, or if the physical condition of any car shall become such that the car cannot be operated in railroad service, as determined by the parties, then Lessor may, at its option, cancel the related Lease as to such car as of the date on which such event occurred, or may substitute another car within a reasonable period of time. Lessee shall notify Lessor of the occurrence of any such event within two (2) days of such event. In the event of such substitution, the substituted car shall be held pursuant to all the terms and

EXHIBIT D

Page 6

conditions of the related Lease as was the car for which it substituted. Without limiting the foregoing, Lessee agrees that if a car is lost or destroyed or is in such physical condition that it cannot be operated in railroad service by reason of misuse or negligence of Lessee or its consignee, agent or sublessee or while on a railroad that does not subscribe to the Interchange Rules or while on any private siding or track or any private or industrial railroad, Lessee will pay Lessor, in cash, the settlement value of such car as determined by Rule #107 of the Interchange Rules within ten (10) days following a request by Lessor for such payment. Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate with and assist each other in any reasonable manner requested, but without affecting their respective obligations under this Article or Article 20, to establish proper claims against parties responsible for the loss of, destruction of or damage to the cars.

ARTICLE 12

LOSS OF COMMODITY

Lessor shall not be liable for any loss of, or damage to, commodities or any part thereof, loaded or shipped in the cars however such loss or damage shall be caused or shall result. Lessee agrees to assume responsibility for, to indemnify Lessor against, and to save it harmless from any such loss or damage or claim therefor.

ARTICLE 13

DAMAGE TO CAR BY COMMODITY

Notwithstanding the exception for normal wear and tear in Article 17, if during the term of any Rider any of the Cars or any components or appurtenances thereto shall be unduly and materially damaged, destroyed or depreciated in value or condition due to the corrosive or other damaging effect of any substance carried therein or thereon (whether or not such damage was foreseeable), Lessee will reimburse Lessor promptly for such damage, loss or expense suffered by Lessor as a consequence thereof and no abatement of rent shall occur during the period in which repairs are performed.

ARTICLE 14

ALTERATION AND LETTERING

Lessee will preserve the cars in good condition and will not in any way alter the physical structure of the cars without the advance approval, in writing, of the Lessor. Lessee shall place no lettering or marking of any kind upon the cars without Lessor’s prior written consent; provided, however, that Lessee may cause said cars to be stenciled, boarded, or placarded with letters not to exceed two inches (2”) in height to indicate to whom the cars are leased and with commodity stencils per Interchange Rules or DOT specifications.

EXHIBIT D

ARTICLE 15

LININGS AND COATINGS

ARTICLE 16

INTERIOR PREPARATION FOR COMMODITIES

RETURN OF CARS — CLEANING

At the expiration of the Lease term as provided in the Riders, Lessee shall, at its expense, return the cars to Lessor at the location and to the agent selected by the Lessor empty, clean and free from residue, and in the same good condition as the cars were in when delivered, except for normal wear and tear. At the expiration, should car cleaning be required, the Lessee shall bear the full cost of cleaning and rent shall continue until the car is clean.

ARTICLE 18

MODIFICATIONS

Lessor and Lessee agree that if, at any time after the effective date of any Rider, changes in car design or equipment are required by the AAR, DOT, Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”) or any other governmental authority, Lessor may, at its option, perform all modifications so ordered and that the cost of those modifications shall be reflected in an increase in the monthly rent per car according to the base monthly rent escalation formula shown on the Rider for that car.

ARTICLE 19

USE OF CARS ON CERTAIN ROADS UNDER AAR CIRCULAR OT-5

Lessee is responsible for obtaining all consents or authority to use the cars on any railroad. Upon the written request of Lessee (which request shall name the railroads involved) Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from each named railroad consents or authority to place the cars in service under provisions issued by such railroad or the AAR, including, without limitation, the provisions of AAR Circular OT-5 as promulgated by the AAR and all supplements thereto and reissues thereof. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor such information as is

EXHIBIT D

Page 8

necessary to apply for and obtain such consents or authority. Lessor, however, shall not be liable for failure to obtain such consents or authority for any reason whatsoever and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure of Lessor or Lessee to obtain such consents or authority.

ARTICLE 20

INDEMNIFICATIONS

Lessee shall defend (if such defense is tendered to Lessee), indemnify and hold Lessor, on an after-tax basis, harmless from and against, and does hereby release Lessor from, all claims, suits, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, in any way arising out of, or resulting from, the condition, storage, use, loss of use, maintenance or operation of the cars, the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Lessee, the Lessee’s failure to comply with the obligations under any Lease, liability arising from any present or future applicable law, rule or regulation, including without limitation, common law and environmental law, related to the release, removal, discharge or disposition, whether intentional or unintentional of any materials from or placed in any car, or any other cause whatsoever except to the extent the same results from Lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or except to the extent a railroad has assumed full responsibility and satisfies such responsibility.

ARTICLE 21

TAXES AND LIENS

Lessor shall be liable for and pay all federal, state, provincial or other governmental property taxes assessed or levied against the cars, except that (i) Lessee shall be liable for and pay such taxes when cars bear reporting marks and numbers other than Lessor’s and (ii) Lessee shall be liable at all times for and shall pay or reimburse Lessor for the payment of any sales, use, leasing, operation, excise, gross receipts and other taxes with respect to the cars, together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon, and all duties, imposts, taxes, investment tax credit reductions and similar charges arising out of the use of cars outside the continental [United States/Canada/Mexico]².

Lessee acknowledges and agrees that by the execution of this Agreement and related Riders it does not obtain, and by payments and performance hereunder it does not, and will not, have or obtain any title to the cars or any property right or interest therein, legal or equitable, except solely as Lessee hereunder and subject to all of the terms hereof. Lessee shall keep the cars free from any liens or encumbrances created by or through Lessee (except as contemplated in respect of Restricted Transfers consented to by the Lessor as described in Article 9).

ARTICLE 22

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

If Lessee (i) defaults in the payment of any sum of money to be paid under any Lease or under this Agreement and such default continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice to Lessee of such default, (ii) fails to perform any covenant or condition required to be performed by Lessee under this Agreement (including, without limitation, failure to accept delivery as required under Article 3 and failure to comply with assurance requirements under Article 28) and such failure shall not be remedied within ten (10) days after written notice to Lessee of such failure, (iii) makes any representation or warranty that was incorrect when made or (iv) shall dissolve, make or commit any act of bankruptcy or if any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency statute or any laws relating to relief of debtors is commenced by Lessee or if any such proceeding is commenced against Lessee and same shall not have been removed within thirty (30) days of the date of the filing thereof or if a receiver, trustee or liquidator is appointed for Lessee or for all or a substantial part of Lessee’s assets with Lessee’s consent or, if without Lessee’s consent, the same shall not have been removed within thirty (30) days of the date of the appointment thereof or if an order, judgment or decree is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction and continues unpaid and in effect for any period of thirty (30) consecutive days without a stay of execution or if a writ of attachment or execution is levied on any car and is not discharged within ten (10) days thereafter (any of the foregoing, an “Event of Default”) then, in addition to any other rights of Lessor provided in this Agreement, Lessor may exercise one or more of the following remedies with respect to the cars leased under any Lease entered into under this Agreement:

1. Immediately terminate any and all Leases and Lessee’s rights hereunder or under any related Rider(s); provided, however, in the event of termination, Lessee shall remain liable for all unpaid rent charges and any other amounts due under any Lease or Leases, this Agreement and any related Rider(s);

2. Require Lessee to return the cars to Lessor at Lessee’s expense, and if Lessee fails to so comply, Lessor may take possession of such cars without demand or notice and without court order or legal process and remove the cars from Lessee’s service. Lessee hereby waives any damages occasioned by such taking of possession, whether or not Lessee was in default at the time possession was taken, so long as Lessor reasonably believes that Lessee was in default at such time. Lessee acknowledges that it may have a right to notice of possession from Lessor and the taking of possession pursuant to a court order or other legal process obtained by Lessor. Lessee, however, knowingly waives any right to such notice of possession from Lessor and the taking of such possession without the Lessor’s obtaining a court order or other legal process;

3. Lease the cars to such persons, at such rent, and for such period of time as Lessor shall elect. Lessor shall apply the proceeds from such leasing, less all costs and expenses incurred in the recovery, repair, storage and renting of such cars, toward the payment of Lessee’s obligations hereunder. Lessee shall remain liable for any deficiency, which, at Lessor’s option, shall be paid monthly as suffered or immediately, or at the end of the lease term as damages for Lessee’s default;

EXHIBIT D

Page 10

4. Bring legal action to recover all rent charges or other amounts then accrued or thereafter accruing from Lessee to Lessor under any provision hereunder or any related Rider(s);

5. Pursue any other remedy which Lessor may have.

Each remedy is cumulative and may be enforced separately or concurrently. The exercise of any remedy is in the Lessor’s discretion, and any failure or delay by Lessor to exercise any particular remedy shall not affect Lessee’s rent or holdover rent obligations hereunder. In the event of default, in addition to Late Rent and Holdover Rent as provided in Article 4, Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon demand all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fee expended by Lessor in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder, and Lessee shall pay interest on any amount owing to Lessor from the time such amount becomes due hereunder at a rate per annum equal to three percentage points above the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank (or its successor), such rate to be reduced, however, to the extent it exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, Lessee shall, without expense to Lessor, assist Lessor in repossessing the cars and shall, for a reasonable time, if required, furnish suitable trackage space for the storage of the cars.

If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Lessor, at Lessee’s expense, and without waiving any rights it may have against Lessee for such nonperformance, may itself render such performance. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor on demand for all sums so paid by Lessor on Lessee’s behalf, together with interest at a rate equal to three percentage points above the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank (or its successor), such rate to be reduced, however, to the extent it exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

In addition, in respect of any Event of Default by Lessee hereunder, Lessor shall be entitled to any and all rights and remedies inuring to the benefit of a lessor upon a default by the lessee as provided in Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the applicable jurisdiction.

ARTICLE 23

LESSOR’S RIGHT TO ASSIGN, SUBORDINATION

All right, title and interest of Lessor in respect of any or all Leases hereunder may be assigned, pledged, mortgaged, leased, transferred, delegated or otherwise disposed of, either in whole or in part, and/or Lessor may assign, pledge, mortgage, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of title to the cars, with or without notice to Lessee. In the event of any such assignment, pledge, mortgage, lease, transfer, delegation or other disposition, the Lease or Leases so assigned and all related rights of Lessee hereunder or those of any person, firm or corporation who claims or who may hereafter claim any rights in this Agreement under or through such Lease or Leases or Lessee, are hereby made subject and subordinate to the terms, covenants and conditions of any assignment, pledge, mortgage, lease, or other agreements covering the cars heretofore or hereafter created and entered into by Lessor, its successors or assigns and to all of the rights of any such assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor, transferee or other holder of legal title to or security interest in the cars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the term of such Lease or Leases so assigned no such assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor, transferee or other holder of

EXHIBIT D

Page 11

legal title to or security interest in the cars shall interfere with the quiet use, possession and enjoyment of the related cars by Lessee provided that no event of default or termination event (however described) shall have occurred under this Agreement or the related Lease. At the request of Lessor or any assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor, transferee or other holder of the legal title to or security interest in the cars, Lessee shall, at Lessor’s expense, (i) letter or xxxx the cars to identify the legal owner of the cars and, if applicable, place on each side of each car, in letters not less than one inch in height, the words “Ownership Subject to a Security Lease Filed with the Surface Transportation Board” or other appropriate words reasonably requested and (ii) evidence its acknowledgement of any assignment, pledge, mortgage, lease, transfer or other disposition by Lessor by executing an acknowledgement letter in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor and its assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor or other holder of legal title to or security interest in the cars. Lessee agrees that no claim or defense which Lessee may have against Lessor shall be asserted or enforced against any assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor or other holder of legal title to or security interest in the cars; provided, that Lessee’s right to quiet enjoyment not disturbed due to action by any such party.

ARTICLE 24

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING THE CARS. LESSOR SHALL NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO LESSEE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS. Lessee shall be solely responsible for determining that the specifications and design of any car are appropriate for the commodities loaded therein. During the period of any lease hereunder in which Lessee renders faithful performance of its obligations, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee any factory or dealer warranty, whether express or implied, or other legal right Lessor may have against the manufacturer in connection with defects in the cars covered by this Agreement.

ARTICLE 25

RIGHT OF INSPECTION AND NOTICES

Lessor, or its assignee, shall, at any reasonable time and without interfering with Lessee’s operations, have the right to inspect the cars by its authorized representative wherever they may be located for the purpose of determining compliance by Lessee with its obligations hereunder. Lessee shall use its best effort to obtain permission, if necessary, for Lessor or its representative to enter upon any premises where the cars may be located.

Lessee shall notify Lessor, in writing, within three (3) days after any attachment, lien (including any tax and mechanics’ liens) or other judicial process attaches to the cars.

EXHIBIT D

ARTICLE 26

ADMINISTRATION OF LEASE

Lessee agrees to make available to Lessor information concerning the movement of the cars reasonably required for the efficient administration of this Agreement.

Lessee agrees to cooperate with Lessor for the purpose of complying with any reasonable requirements of any lender, the Surface Transportation Board, the Registrar General of Canada pursuant to Sections 104 or 105 of the Canada Transportation Act, or the provisions of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or equivalent Canadian personal property security legislation provided such cooperation does not materially affect the rights or liabilities of Lessee hereunder.

ARTICLE 27

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Lessee will make available to Lessor within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Lessee a complete financial statement package of the Lessee, for such fiscal year ended period, including but not limited to, balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, and all schedules, notes, and disclosures made a part of such financial statement package. The financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), all in reasonable detail and certified by public accountants of recognized standing. If Lessee files a Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the filing of such Form 10-K with the SEC within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of such fiscal year will satisfy the requirements set forth above. In addition, upon request of the Lessor and with reasonable prior notice, Lessee shall make quarterly unaudited financial reports available to Lessor (if so requested by Lessor, as soon as available and in any case not later than ninety (90) days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of the Lessor).

ARTICLE 28

INSURANCE

Lessee shall maintain at all times on the cars, at its expense, commercial general liability insurance and umbrella/excess insurance (covering bodily injury, property damage and pollution exposures, including, but not limited to, contractual liability and products liability) against such risks, in such form as shall be satisfactory to Lessor and with such insurer(s) as shall be rated A-VII or better by A.M. Best. The requirement for pollution liability insurance may be satisfied by scheduling a self-insured retention to an umbrella/excess policy affording pollution liability insurance. The commercial general liability insurance policy or self-insured retention and umbrella or excess insurance policies shall have a combined limit of not less than $3,000,000 per occurrence, and the policies shall be endorsed to name Lessor, Lessor’s subsidiaries and Lessor’s assignees as additional insureds as their interest may appear.

EXHIBIT D

The insurance maintained by Lessee shall be primary without any right of contribution from insurance which may be maintained by Lessor. The obligations of Lessee under this Article shall be independent of all other terms under this Agreement and shall in no event relieve Lessee from any indemnity obligation hereunder. The Lessee shall procure an agreement from the insurer that the insurer shall give the Lessor at least thirty (30) days prior written notice (at the address for notice to Lessor set forth herein) of any alteration in or cancellation of the terms of such policies.

6. The entering into and performance by it of this Agreement and any related Rider will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound.

ARTICLE 30

TILC CAPACITY

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that TILC in executing an individual Rider incorporating the terms of this Agreement (thereby entering into an individual and separate Lease of the subject cars as described in Article 1 above) may execute such Rider (and, together with this Agreement, enter into such Lease of the subject cars) in either of the following capacities:

1. If TILC is the owner of the subject cars at the time they are placed into service under the Agreement, TILC executes the related Rider and enters into such Lease in its individual capacity as the car owner for its own account.

2. If TILC is not the owner of the subject cars at the time they are placed into service under the Agreement, then TILC executes the related Rider and enters into such Lease as manager for the benefit of the relevant car owner, pursuant to contractual authority delegated by the car owner to TILC (as manager) to encumber and bind the subject cars and car owner under such Lease.

In the event TILC enters into the Agreement or a related Rider in the capacity of manager as aforesaid, TILC in its individual capacity represents and warrants to the Lessee, and agrees with the Lessee that (i) the party for whom TILC acts as manager is contractually bound and liable as Lessor to the same extent as if it signed this Agreement or a related Rider directly, (ii) TILC is obligated in its capacity as manager to perform the Lessor’s obligations to the Lessee under the Agreement, and (iii) if TILC (a) fails to perform the Lessor’s obligations while serving as manager, or (b) is removed or terminated as manager and the car owner for whose benefit TILC has been acting as manager breaches or otherwise fails to perform (or cause to be performed) the Lessor’s obligations to the Lessee in accordance with this Agreement, then in either such case TILC agrees that it is directly liable to the Lessee for any resulting damages and costs, to the same extent that TILC would have been had TILC been the actual car owner executing this Agreement or a related Rider as Lessor.

ARTICLE 31

Delivery —

Escalation of Base Monthly Rent:

Modifications — In accordance with Article 18 of Railroad Car Lease Agreement, any change in car design required by the AAR, DOT, FRA or other governmental authority during the term of this lease will cause the monthly rent to increase for each car on the month following its modification as follows:

	A.		For a modification with a useful life equal to the car itself, monthly car rent will increase by a monthly rate of $1.75 per car for each $100 of Lessor’s cost incurred in the course of making such modification.

	B.		For a modification with a useful life less than that of the car, monthly car rent will increase to equal the cost of such modification, including the implicit cost of money at 10% per annum, divided by the number of months of estimated remaining life of the modification.

High Mileage — In accordance with Article 7, in the event that a car travels more than 30,000 miles (empty and loaded) in any calendar year, the Lessee shall pay the Lessor $0.03 per mile for each mile over 30,000 traveled by such car.

Separate Lease — Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree and it is their intent that the cars subject to this Rider may be owned by one or more persons or entities other than Lessor (and that after the date hereof cars may be sold or transferred to one or more other persons or entities pursuant to Article 23 or otherwise), and, accordingly, Lessor and Lessee agree that this Rider shall constitute one or more separate and severable Leases, with each such Lease being comprised of the cars subject hereto that are owned by a single person or entity. Each such Lease shall incorporate the terms of the above referenced Railroad Car Lease Agreement and shall be separate and severable in all respects from each other Lease made pursuant to this Rider and from any other cars or riders relating to the above referenced Railroad Car Lease Agreement, and shall be separately transferable for all purposes

FORM OF NET LEASE

TRINITY INDUSTRIES LEASING COMPANY
RAILROAD CAR NET LEASE AGREEMENT

This LEASE AGREEMENT, dated ______________ 20__, (hereinafter called the “Agreement”) by and between TRINITY INDUSTRIES LEASING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 (hereinafter called “Lessor”) and ___________, a(n) _______________ corporation, with its principal office at________________ (hereinafter called “Lessee”).

In consideration of the mutual terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

LEASE AGREEMENT

Lessor agrees to lease to Lessee, and Lessee agrees to lease from Lessor, the cars shown on each Rider hereto and such additional Riders as may be added from time to time (each such Rider and together with this Agreement shall be collectively referred to as the “Lease”) by agreement of the parties and signed by their duly authorized representatives (all such cars being hereinafter referred to as a “car” or the “cars”). Each Rider shall set forth a brief description of the car or cars covered thereby, including such facts as the number of cars, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) or Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications, rental charges, term throughout which the car or cars shall remain in Lessee’s service and such other information as may be desired by both parties. Lessor and Lessee agree that each Rider hereto shall constitute a separate Lease which incorporates the terms of this Agreement. Each Rider shall be severable from any other cars or Riders relating to this Agreement and shall become a separate lease (incorporating the terms of this Agreement) which is separately transferable for all purposes. It is the intent of all parties to this Agreement to characterize this Agreement as a true lease.

ARTICLE 2

TERM

The term of this Lease, with respect to each car, shall commence upon the initial delivery of such car to Lessee in the manner set forth in Article 3 and shall terminate on the earlier of the date Lessee or a third party remits the Settlement Value (defined in Article 8 hereof) to Lessor for the loss or destruction of such car or, with respect to all cars leased hereunder, at the end of the lease term set forth in the Rider(s) attached hereto. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Lease, the obligations of the Lessee hereunder shall continue in effect with regard to each car until each car is returned to the possession of the Lessor in xxxx condition in accordance with Article 14 hereof.

EXHIBIT E

Page 1

ARTICLE 3

DELIVERY

A. Delivery. Lessor agrees to deliver each car to Lessee, and Lessee agrees to accept such delivery. The obligations of the Lessor to deliver the cars shall be excused, and Lessor shall not be liable, for any causes beyond the reasonable control of Lessor (including, but not limited to, delays caused by fire, labor difficulties, delays of carriers and materials suppliers, governmental authority, late delivery by the manufacturer of the cars or late delivery by a prior lessee) and, in the event of a delay in such delivery, Lessor shall deliver the cars to Lessee as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.

B. Place of Delivery. Lessor shall cause the cars to be delivered to Lessee at the point of manufacture.

C. Cost of Delivery. Lessee shall pay all freight charges and other costs, if any, of the delivery of the cars from the point of manufacture.

ARTICLE 4

ACCEPTANCE OF CARS

Upon delivery, Lessee shall promptly inspect each car and shall accept such car if it: (a) complies with the description set forth in the attached Rider(s), and (b) is fit and suitable for operation as those terms are defined in the Interchange Rules adopted by the AAR (the “Interchange Rules”). Upon acceptance, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a Certificate of Acceptance in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall be deemed to have accepted any car delivered hereunder if, with respect to such car, the Lessee shall: (c) load, or otherwise use the car, or (d) fail to notify Lessor, in writing, within five (5) days after delivery of Lessee’s rejection of the car and the specific reasons why the car does not meet the applicable standards set forth in the Rider(s) or the Interchange Rules. If Lessee rejects any car, Lessor shall have the right to have the rejected car inspected by an inspector acceptable to both Lessor and Lessee. The cost of such inspection will be paid by Lessor if the cause for rejection is affirmed by the inspector, otherwise such cost will be borne by Lessee. The Lessee shall be deemed to have accepted any car for which the inspector determines that good cause for rejection did not exist. The decision of the inspector shall be final and binding upon the parties. The Lessee’s acceptance, however affected, shall be deemed effective as of the delivery date and the monthly rentals as hereinafter set forth shall accrue from the delivery date. Such acceptance shall conclusively establish that such cars conform to the applicable standards set forth in the Rider(s) and the Interchange Rules.

ARTICLE 5

MARKINGS

At the time of delivery of the cars by Lessor to Lessee, the cars will be plainly marked on each side with the identification marks of Lessee. If such markings (or any of the markings

EXHIBIT E

Page 2

required pursuant to Article 12) shall at any time be removed or become illegible, wholly or in part, Lessee shall immediately cause such markings to be restored or replaced at Lessee’s expense. Lessee shall not otherwise place, or permit to be placed, any lettering or marking of any kind upon the cars without Lessor’s prior written consent.

ARTICLE 6

PAYMENT OF RENTALS

The monthly rental with respect to each car shall be as set forth in the Rider(s), and, subject to Article 2, shall accrue from (and including) the date of delivery at the point of manufacture to (and excluding) the date the car is redelivered in accordance with Article 14. The rental shall be payable to Lessor by electronic funds transfer to Trinity Leasing Customer Payment Account, Wilmington Trust Company, ABA # _________________, Account # __________________, or at such other address as Lessor may specify by notice to Lessee, in U.S. Dollars and in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the term hereof; provided, however, that the rental for each car for the month in which it is delivered shall be prorated for the number of days (including the date of delivery) remaining in such month at a daily rate based upon a 365 day year; and shall be payable on or before the first day of the next succeeding calendar month. The amount by which rental payments for any month exceed the pro rata rental due for the cars leased to Lessee during such month shall be refunded to Lessee within ten (10) days of the end of such calendar month.

This Lease is a net lease. Lessee’s obligation to pay Lessor all rentals and other amounts hereunder, unless such obligation shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease, shall be absolute and unconditional; and Lessee shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of, or set off against, such rentals or other amounts irrespective of any claim, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which Lessee may have, directly or indirectly, against the Lessor, the manufacturer of the cars or any other person or entity.

ARTICLE 7

TITLE AND USAGE

A. Title to the Cars. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that by the execution of this Lease it does not obtain, and by payments and performance hereunder it does not, and will not, have or obtain any title to the cars or any property right or interest therein, legal or equitable, except solely as Lessee hereunder and subject to all of the terms hereof. Lessee shall keep the cars free from any liens or encumbrances created by or through Lessee.

B. Usage of the Cars. Throughout the continuance of this Lease, so long as Lessee is not in default under this Lease, but subject to Article 12, Lessee shall be entitled to possession of each car from the date the Lease becomes effective as to such car and shall use such car only in the manner for which it was designed and intended, and so as to subject it only to ordinary wear and tear, and in the usual interchange of traffic, provided, however that Lessee agrees that the cars shall, at all times, be used: (a) in conformity with all Interchange Rules, (b) in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, and (c) predominantly in the continental limits of the

EXHIBIT E

Page 3

United States, provided however, in no event shall more that forty percent (40%) of all cars shown on all the Riders to this Agreement (as determined by mileage records and measured annually on a calendar year basis) be used outside of the contiguous United States at the same time.

In the event any car is used outside of the continental United States for any reason whatsoever, Lessee shall assume full responsibility for all costs, taxes, duties or other charges incidental to such use including costs incurred in returning any such car to the continental United States.

C. Lessee’s Right to Transfer or Sublease. Lessee shall not transfer, sublease or assign the cars or its interest and obligations pursuant to this Lease, nor shall a transfer, sublease or assignment by operation of law or otherwise of Lessee’s interest in the cars or this Lease be effective against Lessor, without Lessor’s prior written consent. No transfer, sublease or assignment of this Lease or of the cars shall relieve Lessee from any of its obligations to Lessor under this Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, Lessee shall have the right to sublease any of the cars for single trips to its customers or suppliers, and to cause each car so subleased to be boarded or placarded with the name of the sublessee in accordance with the provisions of the demurrage tariffs lawfully in effect, where the sole purpose of such subleasing is to obtain an exemption from demurrage for said cars so subleased; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such sublease, Lessee shall continue to remain liable to Lessor for the fulfillment of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease; and, provided further, that Lessor shall have the right, at any time, to withdraw the privilege of subleasing hereinabove granted to Lessee.

ARTICLE 8

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

A. Maintenance Responsibility. Lessee shall, at its expense, maintain, repair and keep the cars (i) according to prudent industry practice and in all material respects, in good working order, and in good physical condition for cars of a similar age and usage, normal wear and tear excepted, (ii) subject to clause (i) and (ii) in a manner in all material respects consistent with maintenance practices used by Lessee, as applicable, in respect of any cars owned by Lessee, and (iii) in accordance in all material respects with all manufacturer’s warranties in effect and in accordance with all applicable provisions, if any, of insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Article 10 and (iv) in compliance in all material respects with any applicable laws and regulations from time to time in effect, including the Interchange Rules, FRA rules and regulations as they apply to the maintenance and operation of cars in interchange. In no event shall Lessee discriminate in any material respect as to the use or maintenance of any car (including the periodicity of maintenance or record keeping in respect of such car) as compared to equipment of similar nature which Lessee owns or net leases. Lessee will maintain in all material respects all records, logs and other materials required by relevant industry standards or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the cars required to be maintained in respect of any car, all as if Lessee were owner of such cars.

EXHIBIT E

Page 4

B. Alterations. Lessee shall not alter the physical structure of any of the cars without the prior written approval of Lessor. Any modification, alteration or addition to the cars required by any governmental law, rule, regulation, requirement or the Interchange Rules shall be Lessee’s responsibility and at its expense.

C. Responsibility for Lost, Destroyed or Damaged Cars. If any of the cars, or any part thereof, shall be lost, destroyed or damaged, Lessee shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify Lessor and hold Lessor harmless from, the loss, destruction or damage to the cars, or part thereof, during the term.

Lessee shall notify Lessor of the loss or destruction of any of the cars within two (2) days after the date of such event. If a car is lost or destroyed, Lessor shall, at its option, have the right to: (a) substitute for such car another car of the same type, capacity and condition; provided, however, that the rental rate for a substituted car for each month after such car is delivered to Lessee shall be determined in accordance with the Rider(s), or (b) withdraw the car from this Lease, and, therefore, reduce the number of cars leased hereunder.

Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate with and assist each other in any reasonable manner requested, but without affecting their respective obligations under this Article or Article 9, to establish proper claims against parties responsible for the loss, destruction of or damage to, the cars.

For the purpose of this Lease, the amount of loss resulting from the loss or destruction of a car shall be measured by its Settlement Value as determined immediately prior to the time of such loss or destruction. The “Settlement Value” of a car shall be determined by application of Rule 107 of the Interchange Rules.

D. Linings and Coatings. The application, maintenance and removal of interior protective linings and coatings in cars so equipped is the responsibility of Lessee.

E. Interior Preparation for Commodities. Any cleaning or special preparation of the interior of cars to make them suitable for the shipment of commodities by or for Lessee during the term of the lease shall be done at Lessee’s expense unless otherwise agreed.

ARTICLE 9

INDEMNIFICATION BY LESSEE

A. Damages, Losses and injuries Due to Operation of the Cars. Lessee shall defend (if such defense is tendered to Lessee), indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against and does hereby release Lessor from all claims, suits, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, in any way arising out of, or resulting from, the condition, storage, use, loss of use, maintenance or operation of the cars, or any other cause whatsoever. In all cases to which this indemnity agreement applies, Lessee’s obligation shall be to indemnify Lessor for the full amount of the claim, suit, liability, loss, damage, cost or expense involved and principles of comparative negligence shall not apply.

EXHIBIT E

Page 5

B. Losses to and Damages Caused by Commodities. Lessor shall not be liable for any loss of, or damage to, commodities, or any part thereof, loaded or shipped in the cars, however such loss or damage shall be caused or shall result; and Lessee shall be responsible for, indemnify Lessor against and save Lessor harmless from, any such loss, damage or claim therefor. Notwithstanding the exception for ordinary wear and tear in Article 15, in the event any of the cars, fittings or appurtenances thereto, including all interior lading protective devices, special interior linings and removable parts, if any, shall become damaged by any commodity loaded therein, Lessee shall be responsible for such damage, and shall indemnify Lessor against and save Lessor harmless from, any such loss, damage or claim therefor according to the same terms of indemnification set forth in Paragraph A of this Article 9.

C. Loss of Use of Car. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any damages, costs or losses which result from the loss of the use of any of the cars for any reason whatsoever.

D. Tax Indemnity. Lessee acknowledges that the Rental Amount provided for in the Rider(s) is computed on the assumptions that (a) Lessor or a third-party (the “Owner Participant”) and the affiliated group of corporations (as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) of which it (or its owners) is a member (all references to Lessor or Owner Participant in this Article include such affiliated group) shall be treated for United States federal income tax purposes (and to the extent allowable for state and local tax purposes) as the owner of the cars and will be entitled to full depreciation deductions based on Lessor or Owner Participant’s total cost of the Equipment under (i) applicable Sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in amounts equal to the most accelerated method, shortest recovery period and applicable convention allowed under the Code and (ii) accelerated cost recovery deductions for state and local income tax purposes in effect at the time each Rider is entered into (such deductions being referred to hereinafter as “Tax Benefits”), and (b) all deductions or credits allowable to Lessor or Owner Participant with respect to the cars will be treated as derived from or allocable to sources within the United States. If, as a result of any act or failure to act of Lessee (including the use of the cars outside of the United States) or any physical damage to or loss, or governmental taking of the cars, Lessor or Owner Participant shall (x) lose, have recaptured or disallowed, or not be entitled to the full use of the Tax Benefits, or (y) have its tax increased or accelerated on account of recompilation or recapture of such Tax Benefits in any year or years pursuant to the provisions of the Code (each of the events referred to in (x) and (y) above being referred to as a “Loss”), then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, upon demand, a sum which, on an After Tax Basis, shall be sufficient to restore Lessor or Owner Participant to the same position Lessor or Owner Participant would have been in had such Loss not been incurred after taking into account all relevant factors. For the purpose of this Article, a Loss shall occur upon the earlier of (1) the payment by Lessor or Owner Participant to the Internal Revenue Service of the tax increase resulting from such Loss or (2) the adjustment of the tax return of Lessor or Owner Participant to reflect such Loss. If the Owner Participant has transferred ownership of the cars to Lessor, all references in this paragraph to Owner Participant shall be deemed to be references to Lessor with respect to any loss for any period after such transfer.

EXHIBIT E

Page 6

ARTICLE 10

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Lessee will furnish to Lessor within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Lessee a complete financial statement package of the Lessee, for such fiscal year ended period, including but not limited to, balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, and all schedules, notes, and disclosures made a part of such financial statement package. The financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), all in reasonable detail and certified by public accountants of recognized standing. If Lessee files a Form 10- K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the filing of such Form 10-K with the SEC will satisfy the requirements set forth above.

ARTICLE 11

INSURANCE

Lessee shall maintain at all times on the cars, at its expense, “all-risk” physical damage insurance and commercial general liability insurance and umbrella/excess insurance (covering bodily injury, property damage and pollution exposures, including, but not limited to, contractual liability and products liability) against such risks, in such form and with such insurers as shall be satisfactory to Lessor. The requirement for pollution liability insurance may be satisfied by scheduling a self-insured retention to an umbrella/excess policy affording pollution liability insurance. The amount of “all-risk” physical damage insurance shall not on any date be less than the full replacement value of the cars as of such date; such insurance policy will, among other things, name Lessor, Lessor’s subsidiaries and Lessor’s assignees as joint loss payee as their interest may appear and require that the interests of Lessor, Lessor’s subsidiaries and Lessor’s assignees be continually insured regardless of any breach of or violation by Lessee of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such insurance policy. The commercial general liability insurance policy or self-insured retention and umbrella or excess insurance policies shall have a combined limit of not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence, and the policies shall be endorsed to name Lessor, Lessor’s subsidiaries and Lessor’s assignees as additional insureds as their interest may appear. In no event shall Lessor be responsible for premiums, warranties or representations to any insurer or agent thereof.

Prior to the Delivery Date and from time to time thereafter, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor an original certificate demonstrating that such insurance coverage is in effect, provided, however, that Lessor shall be under no duty to ascertain the existence or adequacy of such insurance. The insurance maintained by Lessee shall be primary without any right of contribution from insurance which may be maintained by Lessor. The obligations of Lessee under this Article shall be independent of all other terms under this Lease and shall in no event relieve Lessee from any indemnity obligation hereunder. The insurer shall give the Lessor at least thirty (30) days prior written notice (at the address for notice to Lessor set forth herein) of any alteration in or cancellation of the terms of such policies.

EXHIBIT E

Page 7

ARTICLE 12

TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES

Except as otherwise hereinafter provided, Lessee shall pay and indemnify and hold Lessor (and each person who is in turn indemnified by Lessor) harmless from any and all

(a) taxes including, without limitation, any taxes (withholding or otherwise) imposed by Canada or any province thereof or any governmental or administrative subdivision thereof, sales and/or use taxes, gross receipts, franchise, single business and personal property taxes and

(b) license fees, assessments, charges, fines, levies, imposts, duties, tariffs, customs, switching, demurrage, track storage, detention, special handling and empty mileage charges,

including penalties and interest thereon, levied or imposed by any foreign, Federal, state or local government or taxing authority, railroad or other agency upon or with respect to the cars, or Lessor (or any such person) in connection with the cars or the lease thereof hereunder, and Lessee shall prepare and file all returns and reports required in connection with the foregoing and shall furnish copies thereof to Lessor upon request.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall not be responsible for any tax imposed by the United States or any state or governmental subdivision thereof which is measured solely by Lessor’s (or any such person’s) net income, unless such tax is in substitution for or releases Lessee from the payment of any taxes for which Lessee would otherwise be obligated under Article 12.

ARTICLE 13

LESSOR’S RIGHT TO ASSIGN, SUBORDINATION

All rights of Lessor hereunder may be assigned, pledged, mortgaged, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of, either in whole or in part, and/or Lessor may assign, pledge, mortgage, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of title to the cars, with or without notice to Lessee. As a condition to any such assignment, pledge, mortgage, lease, transfer or other disposition, Lessor shall have entered into a management agreement with the assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor, or other holder of legal title to or security interest in the cars for purposes of allowing such assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor or other holder of legal title to or security interest in the cars to perform Lessor’s obligations hereunder. In the event of any such assignment, pledge, mortgage, lease, transfer or other disposition, this Lease and all rights of Lessee hereunder or those of any person, firm or corporation who claims or who may hereafter claim any rights in this Lease under or through Lessee, are hereby made subject and subordinate to the terms, covenants and conditions of any assignment, pledge, mortgage, lease, or other agreements covering the cars heretofore or hereafter created and entered into by Lessor, its successors or assigns and to all of the rights of any such assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor, transferee or other holder of legal title to or security interest in the cars. During the term of this Lease no such assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor, transferee or other holder of legal title to or security interest in the cars shall interfere with the quiet use, possession and enjoyment of the cars by Lessee

EXHIBIT E

Page 8

provided that no event of default or termination event (however described) shall have occurred under such assignment, pledge, mortgage, lease or other agreement and provided that no event of default or termination event (however described) has occurred under this Lease and provided further that the exercise by assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor, transferee or other holder of legal title to or security interest in the cars of their respective rights under or in connection with such assignment, pledge, mortgage, lease or other agreement or this Lease shall not constitute such an interference. Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor or such assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor, transferee or other holder of legal title to or security interest in the cars may terminate this Lease simultaneously with the termination of any such assignment, pledge, mortgage, lease or other agreement and that upon such termination, Lessee shall redeliver the cars to Lessor. Any sublease or assignment of the cars permitted by this Lease that is entered into by Lessee or its successors or assigns shall contain language which expressly makes such assignment or sublease subject to the subordination contained herein. At the request of Lessor or any assignee, pledgee, mortgagee, lessor, transferee or other holder of the legal title to or security interest in the cars, Lessee, at Lessor’s expense, shall letter or xxxx the cars to identify the legal owner of the cars and, if applicable, place on each side of each car, in letters not less than one inch in height, the words “Ownership Subject to a Security Lease Filed with the Surface Transportation Board” or other appropriate words reasonably requested.

In the event that Lessor assigns its interest in this Lease, Lessee, at the request of Lessor, shall execute and deliver to Lessor an Acknowledgment of Assignment of Lease in form satisfactory to Lessor and upon such request and execution furnish to Lessor an opinion of counsel that such Acknowledgment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee and constitutes a valid, legal and binding instrument, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

ARTICLE 14

DEFAULT BY LESSEE

If Lessee defaults in the payment of any sum of money to be paid under this Lease and such default continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice to Lessee of such default; or if Lessee fails to perform any covenant or condition required to be performed by Lessee which failure shall not be remedied within ten (10) days after notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee; or if Lessee shall dissolve, make or commit any act of bankruptcy, or if any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency statute of any laws relating to relief of debtors is commenced by Lessee, or if any such proceeding is commenced against Lessee and same shall not have been removed within thirty (30) days of the date of the filing thereof, or if a receiver, trustee or liquidator is appointed for Lessee or for all or a substantial part of Lessee’s assets with Lessee’s consent, or if, without Lessee’s consent, the same shall not have been removed within thirty (30) days of the date of the appointment thereof; or if an order, judgment or decree be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction and continue unpaid and in effect for any period of thirty (30) consecutive days without a stay of execution; or if a writ of attachment or execution is levied on any car and is not discharged within ten (10) days thereafter, Lessor may exercise one or more of the following remedies with respect to the cars:

1. Immediately terminate this Lease and Lessee’s right hereunder,

EXHIBIT E

Page 9

2. Require Lessee to return the cars to Lessor at Lessee’s expense, and if Lessee fails to so comply, Lessor may take possession of such cars without demand or notice and without court order or legal process. Lessee hereby waives any damages occasioned by such taking of possession whether or not Lessee was in default at the time possession was taken, so long as Lessor reasonably believes that Lessee was in default at such time; Lessee acknowledges that it may have a right to notice of possession and the taking of possession with a court order or other legal process. Lessee, however, knowingly waives any right to such notice of possession and the taking of such possession without court order or legal process;

3. Lease the cars to such persons, at such rental and for such period of time as Lessor shall elect. Lessor shall apply the proceeds from such leasing, less all costs and expenses incurred in the recovery, repair, storage and renting of such cars, toward the payment of Lessee’s obligations hereunder. Lessee shall remain liable for any deficiency, which, at Lessor’s option, shall be paid monthly, as suffered, or immediately or at the end of the Lease term as damages for Lessee’s default;

4. Bring legal action to recover all rent or other amounts then accrued or thereafter accruing from Lessee to Lessor under any provision hereunder;

5. Pursue any other remedy which Lessor may have.

Each remedy is cumulative and may be enforced separately or concurrently. In the event of default, Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon demand all costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees expended by Lessor in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder, and Lessee shall pay interest on any amount owing to Lessor from the time such amount becomes due hereunder at a rate per annum equal to three percentage points above the prime rate of Chase Manhattan Bank (or its successor), such rate to be reduced, however, to the extent it exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, Lessee shall, without expense to Lessor, assist Lessor in repossessing the cars and shall, for a reasonable time if required, furnish suitable trackage space for the storage of the cars.

If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Lessor, at Lessee’s expense, and without waiving any rights it may have against Lessee for such nonperformance, may itself render such performance. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor on demand for all sums so paid by Lessor on Lessee’s behalf, together with interest at a rate equal to three percentage points above the prime rate of Chase Manhattan Bank (or its successor), such rate to be reduced however, to the extent it exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE 15

DELIVERY AT END OF TERM

Lessee shall not deliver the cars prior to the end of the term without the prior written consent of Lessor. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lessee shall not load any car leased hereunder during the final fifteen (15) days of the term, except as otherwise provided in the Rider(s).

EXHIBIT E

Page 10

At the end of the term, Lessee, at its expense, shall deliver each car to Lessor, or to a subsequent lessee, at the point designated by Lessor, (i) empty, free from residue, (ii) in the same good order and condition as it was delivered by Lessor to Lessee, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (iii) notwithstanding the above exception of ordinary wear and tear, in compliance the Interchange Rules as they apply to minimum requirements for acceptance of cars in interchange. Lessee, at its expense, shall remove or cause to be removed from the cars any of Lessee’s special advertising, lettering or other markings. Lessee shall, on demand, reimburse Lessor for the expense of cleaning any car that contains residue or such other cost which may be incurred to place a car in the condition described above.

If any car is not redelivered to Lessor or not delivered to a subsequent lessee on or before the date on which the term ends, or in the event that a car so delivered is not in the condition required by this Article 15, Lessee shall pay rental for each day that each car is not delivered as required herein or until each car is delivered in the condition required, at a prorated monthly rental rate determined in accordance with the monthly rental rate set forth in the Rider(s). Lessee shall pay to Lessor on or before the last day of each month the amount Lessee is obligated to pay to Lessor for such month under this Article 15. In addition to any other indemnity provided herein and any payments to be made to Lessor hereunder, Lessee shall also indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against all losses, injuries, liabilities, claims and demands whatsoever, including those asserted by a subsequent lessee arising out of or as a result of such late delivery or failure to deliver in the condition required.

ARTICLE 16

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS

LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING THE CARS. LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY CLAIM IT MIGHT HAVE AGAINST LESSOR FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR EXPENSE CAUSED BY THE CARS OR BY ANY DEFECT THEREIN. Lessee shall be solely responsible for determining that the specifications and design of any car are appropriate for the commodities loaded therein. During the period of any lease hereunder in which Lessee renders faithful performance of its obligations, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee any factory or dealer warranty, whether express or implied, or other legal right Lessor may have against the manufacturer in connection with defects in the cars covered by this Lease.

ARTICLE 17

3. The Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee and constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

4. No approval is required by Lessee from any governmental or public body or authority with respect to the entering into or performance of this Lease.

5. The entering into and performance of this Lease will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provision of any law or any regulations, order, injunction, permit, franchise or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality.

6. The entering into and performance of this Lease will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which Lessee is party or by which it or any of its property is bound.

TILC CAPACITY

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Trinity Industries Leasing Company (in its individual capacity, “TILC”) in executing an individual Rider incorporating the terms of this Agreement (thereby entering into an individual and separate Lease of the subject cars as described in Article 1 above) may execute such Rider (and, together with this Agreement, enter into such Lease) in either of the following capacities:

EXHIBIT E

Page 13

1. If TILC is the owner of the subject cars at the time they are placed into service under the Lease, TILC executes the related Rider and enters into such Lease in its individual capacity as the car owner for its own account.

2.

In the event TILC enters into a Lease in the capacity of manager as aforesaid, TILC in its individual capacity represents and warrants to the Lessee, and agrees with the Lessee that (i) the party for whom TILC acts as manager is contractually bound and liable as Lessor to the same extent as if it signed the Lease directly, (ii) TILC is obligated in its capacity as manager to perform the Lessor’s obligations to the Lessee under such Lease, and (iii) if TILC (a) fails to perform the Lessor’s obligations while serving as manager, or (b) is removed or terminated as manager and the car owner for whose benefit TILC has been acting as manager breaches or otherwise fails to perform (or cause to be performed) the Lessor’s obligations to the Lessee in accordance with the Lease, then in either such case TILC agrees that it is directly liable to the Lessee for any resulting damages and costs, to the same extent that T1LC would have been had T1LC been the actual car owner executing the Lease as Lessor.
