If the AAR has failed to issue a Certificate of Construction for any Railcar within ninety (90) days of the date Seller’s application therefor was filed with the AAR, Seller will provide written notification thereof to Buyer. If such delay is attributable in whole or in part to a Seller error or omission, Seller shall remedy such error or omission as soon as practical. 13. CONFIDENTIALITY 13.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any and all: (a) trade secrets concerning the business and affairs of a Party, product specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, past, current, and planned research and development, current and planned manufacturing or distribution methods and processes, customer lists, current and anticipated customer requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans (and related formulae, compositions, processes, improvements, devices, know-how, inventions, discoveries, concepts, ideas, designs, methods, and information) and any other information, however documented, that is a trade secret within the meaning of The Missouri Uniform Trade Secrets Act (§§417.450 to 417.467 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, as amended); and (b) information concerning the business and affairs of a Party (which includes historical financial statements, financial results and position, financial projections and budgets, historical and projected sales, capital spending budgets and plans, the names and backgrounds of key personnel, personnel training, techniques, and materials) however documented; and (c) notes, analysis, compilations, studies, summaries, and other material prepared by or for a Party containing or based, in whole or in part, on any information included in the foregoing. 10
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED: Certain portions of this document have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and, where applicable, have been marked with an asterisk (“[*****]”) to denote where omissions have been made. The confidential material has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 13.2 Each of the parties acknowledges that: (a) during the Term and as a part of each Party’s performance as contemplated hereunder, the parties will be afforded access to Confidential Information; (c) unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information could have an adverse effect on the Parties and their respective businesses; and (d) the provisions of this Section 12 are reasonable and necessary to prevent the improper use or disclosure of Confidential Information. 13.3 Each Party is permitted to disclose any Confidential Information as required by law; provided, however, that in any event that a Party or any of its representatives becomes legally compelled to disclose any such information, such Party shall provide the other Party with prompt written notice before such disclosure, to the extent legally permissible and feasible, sufficient to enable the Party whose information is so required to be disclosed to either seek a protective order or confidential treatment, at its expense, or other appropriate remedy preventing or prohibiting such disclosure or to waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 12, or both; provided, further, however, that no such notice will be required to be given by Buyer to Seller with respect to any Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to binding rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. 13.4 During and following the Term, each Party receiving Confidential Information hereunder (in such capacity, the “Receiving Party”) will hold in confidence the Confidential Information of the other Party hereto (in such capacity, the “Disclosing Party”) and will not disclose Confidential Information to any person except with the specific prior written consent of the Disclosing Party or except as required by law or as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement. The Receiving Party will not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except during the Term in the course of performing the Receiving Party’s duties under or as contemplated pursuant to, this Agreement. This confidentiality obligation shall apply to all Confidential Information whether in its original form or a derivative form, and to all Confidential Information whether received or observed by the Receiving Party prior to, on or after the commencement of the Term. The Parties agree that no warranties are made expressly or implicitly regarding accuracy or completeness of Confidential Information provided under this Agreement. 13.5 None of the foregoing obligations and restrictions shall apply to any part of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party demonstrates was or became generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party. 13.6 During the Term, the Receiving Party will safeguard each tangible embodiment of the Confidential Information (whether in the form of a document, record, notebook, plan, model, component, device, or computer software or code, whether embodied in a disk or in any other form (collectively, the “Proprietary Items”)). The Parties recognize that, as between themselves, all of the Proprietary Items, whether or not developed by the Receiving Party, are the exclusive property of the Disclosing Party. Upon termination of this Agreement by either Party, or upon the request of the Disclosing Party during the Term, the Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party or destroy all of the Proprietary Items in the Receiving Party’s possession or subject to the Receiving Party’s control, and the Receiving Party shall not retain any copies, abstracts, sketches, or other physical embodiment of any of the Proprietary Items. 13.7 Any trade secrets of the Parties hereto will be entitled to all of the protections and benefits under The Missouri Uniform Trade Secrets Act (§§417.450 to 417.467 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, as amended) and any other applicable law. If any information that a Party deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a trade secret for purposes of this Agreement, such information will, nevertheless, be considered Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement. Each Party hereby waives any requirement that the other Party submit proof of the economic value of any trade secret or post a bond or other security. 11

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party shall have the right to use the other Party’s name, intellectual property or Confidential Information without such other Party’s prior written consent. 14. INDEMNIFICATION. Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and Seller’s Affiliates against all Damages arising from (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Buyer under this Agreement or any Purchase Order; or (b) any injury to persons or property from the Railcars that results from (i) defects in designs or specifications provided by Buyer, (ii) the Design and Engineering Services, or (iii) the License. 15. MATERIAL, EQUIPMENT, FACILITIES AND SPECIAL TOOLING Except as otherwise agreed in writing, all equipment, facilities and special tooling (which term includes but is not limited to jigs, dies, fixtures, molds, patterns, special test equipment, manufacturing aids and replacements thereof) used in the manufacture of the Railcars covered hereby shall be and remain the property of Seller. 16. MISCELLANEOUS 16.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Missouri without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Missouri. 16.2 Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement shall be brought against either of the parties in the courts of the State of Missouri, County of St. Louis, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere in the world. 16.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY QUESTION REGARDING ITS EXISTENCE, VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, BREACH, OR TERMINATION, AND INCLUDING ANY NON-CONTRACTUAL CLAIM. The Parties further agree that in the event of any claim or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, this clause will serve as conclusive evidence of their intent to waive their right to trial by jury. 16.4 Further Assurances. The Parties agree (i) to furnish upon request to each other such further information, (ii) to execute and deliver to each other such other documents, and (iii) to do such other acts and things, all as the other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement. 16.5 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a 12

The confidential material has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Party; (ii) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (iii) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement. 16.6 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement and the exhibits and schedules attached hereto are the entire Agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by each of the Parties hereto. 16.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and their respective successors, administrators and assigns. Either Party hereto may assign this Agreement by merger or other fundamental change or in connection with reorganization without the consent of the other Party hereto to any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust, unincorporated organization, or other legal entity or organization owned or controlled by, or under common control with, the assigning Party or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of such assigning Party. For the purposes of clarification, the assignment contemplated by this Section 14.7 is an assignment of Buyer’s rights and warranties in this Agreement, in contrast to the assignments provided for in Section 7.1(c), which are assignments of Buyer’s rights and warranties for individual Railcars. 16.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. 16.9 Section Headings, Construction.

Unless otherwise expressly provided, the word “including” does not limit the preceding words or terms. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 16.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. 16.11 Survival.
