This MASTER INDENTURE, dated as of May 24, 2006 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (but excluding any Series Supplement), this “ Master Indenture ”), by and between TRINITY RAIL LEASING V L.P., a Texas limited partnership, as issuer of the Equipment Notes ( “TRL-V” or “Issuer” ), and WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, a Delaware banking corporation, as indenture trustee for each Series of Equipment Notes (the “ Indenture Trustee ”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Issuer and the Indenture Trustee are executing and delivering this Master Indenture in order to provide for the issuance, from time to time, by Issuer of 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 Issuer under all 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

Issuer hereby pledges, transfers, assigns, and otherwise conveys to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit and security of the Noteholders, the Series Enhancer 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 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 (including, without limitation, all Leases and the Management Agreement), 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) all licenses, manufacturer’s warranties and other warranties, Supporting Obligations, Payment Intangibles, Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, General Intangibles and all other rights and obligations related to any Assigned Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all rights, powers, privileges, options and other benefits of Issuer to receive moneys and other property due and to become due under or pursuant to the Assigned Agreements, 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 Leases, from the Lessees thereunder), (ii) all rights, powers, privileges, options and other benefits of Issuer to receive proceeds of any casualty insurance, condemnation award, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to the Assigned Agreements, (iii) all claims of Issuer for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under any Assigned Agreement and (iv) the rights,

powers, privileges, options and other benefits of Issuer to perform under each Assigned Agreement, to compel performance and otherwise exercise all remedies thereunder and to terminate each Assigned Agreement;

(c) all (i) Railcars conveyed to Issuer from time to time, whether pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement or otherwise, and any and all substitutions and replacements therefor, (ii) all licenses, manufacturer’s warranties and other warranties, Supporting Obligations, Payment Intangibles, Chattel Paper, General Intangibles and all other rights and obligations related to such Railcars (or any substitutions or replacements thereof), (iii) all Railroad Mileage Credits allocable to such Railcars and any payments in respect of such credits, (iv) all tort claims or any other claims of any kind or nature related to such Railcars and any payments in respect of such claims, (v) all SUBI Certificates evidencing a SUBI interest in the Trinity Marks related to such Railcars and (vi) all 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 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 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 Issuer or for its benefit (including, without limitation, all insurance policies maintained by the Manager or the Insurance Manager for the benefit of Issuer) covering all or any portion of the Collateral, and all payments thereon or with respect thereto; and

(f) all Proceeds, accessions, profits, products, income benefits, substitutions and replacements, whether voluntary or involuntary, of and to any of the property of Issuer described in the preceding clauses (including, without limitation, 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 Issuer of all Outstanding Obligations and for the prompt payment in full by Issuer of the respective amounts due and the prompt performance in full by Issuer of all of its other obligations, in each case, under Issuer Documents (including the Equipment Notes) and the Operative Agreements to which Issuer is a party (collectively, the “ Secured Obligations ”), all as provided in this Master Indenture.

For 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.

Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes the Indenture Trustee at any time, and from time to time, to file, without the signature of 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 or any Series Enhancer 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 Issuer is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to Issuer. 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.

Priority. Issuer intends the Security Interests in favor of the Indenture Trustee to be prior to all other Encumbrances in respect of the Collateral, and 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 where the Lessee thereunder is a Canadian resident, 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 Collateral including, without limitation, (a) 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 Collateral and (b) to the extent that the Canada Transportation Act does not apply exclusively to such Lease, making all such filings, registrations and recordings, and taking all such actions as are necessary or advisable to obtain and maintain a perfected purchase-money security interest in the Portfolio Railcars which are the subject matter of such Lease under applicable Canadian provincial or territorial personal property security legislation (or, to the extent that a purchase-money security interest in such Portfolio Railcars has not or cannot be obtained, Issuer shall promptly obtain from each Person who has made a filing, registration or recording against the applicable Lessee under any applicable Canadian provincial or territorial personal property security legislation, which filing, registration or recording perfects or could

perfect a security interest or other interest in any of such Portfolio Railcars, a release, waiver or subordination (in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and each Series Enhancer) of such Person’s Encumbrance on such Portfolio Railcars). 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.

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 with respect to 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 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 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 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, 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 Issuer or 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 Issuer or any substantial part of its property or if 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 Issuer, or making a general assignment for the benefit of any creditor of 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.

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 Issuer from, any obligation to perform or satisfy any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or satisfied by 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 Issuer relative thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of Issuer contained therein or made in connection therewith unless otherwise expressly provided therein.

Collateral.

(a) Generally. On each applicable Closing Date, all instruments, chattel paper, securities or other documents, including, without limitation, any Leases constituting Chattel Paper Originals 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 acting at the direction of the Requisite Majority. Subject to subsections (c) and (d) under this heading, until the termination of the Security Interest granted hereby, if Issuer shall acquire (by purchase, contribution, substitution, replacement or otherwise) any additional Collateral (or instruments, chattel paper, securities or other documents representing any Collateral) at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, Issuer shall forthwith pledge and deposit such Collateral (or instruments, chattel paper, securities, or other documents representing such Collateral) as security for the Secured Obligations with the Indenture Trustee and deliver to 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 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 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 the Secured Parties and is not the property of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee will promptly report to each Secured Party and 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) Limitations on Common Schedules and Riders. On and after the date hereof, Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Portfolio Railcars which are subject to a Lease (or become subject to a Lease pursuant to the exercise of any replacement, substitution or remarketing rights of Issuer under the Operative Agreements) to be identified in separate executed Schedules or Riders to the related “master lease agreement” with the applicable Lessee such that only Portfolio Railcars are identified on the applicable Schedules or Riders and no railcars are identified thereon which are owned by any Person other than Issuer (such other party, a “Non-Indenture Party” ); provided, however , that to the extent the separateness of such Schedule or Rider cannot be maintained, (i) in no event shall the percentage of Portfolio Railcars in the aggregate (measured by Adjusted Value) contained on Schedules or Riders which also include railcars owned by a Non-Indenture Party exceed 20% of the Portfolio Railcars in the aggregate (measured by Adjusted Value) and (ii) in all cases in which Schedules or Riders contain Portfolio Railcars together with other railcars owned by a Non-Indenture Party, the applicable Lessee(s) shall have agreed, if requested by the Indenture Trustee or the Requisite Majority (which request may only be made in connection with the exercise of remedies against such railcar), to re-execute one or more separate Schedules or Riders for such Portfolio Railcars and other applicable railcars such that the Schedules and Riders identifying the Portfolio Railcars do not identify any railcars other than such Portfolio Railcars.

(d) Custody of Leases. Upon the written request of Issuer, in the event that the separateness of Schedules or Riders cannot be maintained as aforesaid, the parties hereto agree to implement a custodial arrangement with respect to the Leases 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 Leases (including all such non-separate Schedules and Riders) for the benefit of the Secured Parties and any Non-Indenture Party with an interest therein, as their interests may appear. Such custodial arrangement will be evidenced by a custodial agreement to contain terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Majority.

(e) Notifications. The Indenture Trustee at the expense of Issuer shall promptly forward to 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 Issuer or the Manager on and after the Initial Closing Date.

Releases. If at any time all or any part of the Collateral is to be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of by Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or any Person on its or their behalf (in each case as required or permitted by the Operative Agreements), the Indenture Trustee upon receipt of written notice from Issuer (with copies thereof delivered to each Series Enhancer (so long as it is a Control Party)) 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 Issuer), at the expense of Issuer, execute such instruments of release prepared by Issuer, in recordable form, if necessary, in favor of Issuer or any other Person as Issuer may reasonably request, deliver the relevant part of the Collateral in its possession to Issuer, otherwise release the Security Interest constituted by this Master Indenture on such Collateral and release and deliver such Collateral to Issuer and issue confirmation, to the relevant purchaser, transferee, assignee, insurer, and such other Persons as Issuer may direct, upon being requested to do so by Issuer, that the relevant Collateral is no longer subject to the Security Interests. Any such release to 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 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 all Equipment Notes and all amounts owed to any Policy Provider or other Series Enhancer under the Operative Agreements, the Indenture Trustee shall release the Security Interests in the Portfolio. In connection therewith, the Indenture Trustee agrees, at the expense of 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 Issuer as Issuer may reasonably request in respect of the release of such Portfolio from the Security Interests, and to otherwise release the security interests constituted by this Master Indenture in and with respect to such Collateral to Issuer and to issue confirmation to such Persons as Issuer may direct, upon being requested to do so by Issuer, that such Collateral is no longer subject to the Security Interests.

Exercise of Issuer Rights Concerning Management Agreement. 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 at the direction of the Requisite Majority shall have the exclusive right to exercise and enforce all of the rights of 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 Default and/or a Manager Replacement 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, 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 Default thereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, 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.

Upon any application or request by Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Master Indenture, Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signers thereof, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Master Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Master Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Master Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto shall include:

(a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions in this Master Indenture relating thereto;

(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

Section 1.04 Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Any direction, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Master Indenture in respect of the Equipment Notes of any Series or Class to be given or taken by Noteholders or any Control Party may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders or Control Party in person or by an agent or proxy duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, to each Rating Agency where it is hereby expressly required pursuant to this Master Indenture or to Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “ Act ” of the Noteholders or Control Party 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 conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee or 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 instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) In determining whether the Holders of Equipment Notes or any Control Party shall have given any direction, consent, request, demand, authorization, notice, waiver or other Act (a “ Direction ”) under this Master Indenture (including without limitation any consent pursuant to Sections 4.04 or 9.02(a) hereof), Equipment Notes 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, (i) if any such Persons own 100% of the Equipment Notes of all Series then Outstanding and all Enhancement Agreements shall have been terminated, then such Equipment Notes shall not be so disregarded as aforesaid.

(d) Issuer may at its option, by delivery of Officers’ Certificates 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 the applicable 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 the Holder of any Equipment Note or a Control Party 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.

(b) The Equipment Notes issuable under this Master Indenture 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 of Class A Notes and/or Class B Notes 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 given consecutive numbers in chronological order of issuance to differentiate the Equipment Notes of each such Series from the Equipment Notes of any other Series.

(c) Upon satisfaction of and compliance with the requirements and conditions to closing set forth in the related Series Supplement, Equipment Notes of the Series to be executed and delivered on a particular Closing Date pursuant to such related Series Supplement, may be executed by 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 upon Issuer’s request set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of Issuer signed by one of its authorized signatories, without further action on the part of 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.

(d) There shall be issued and delivered and authenticated on the relevant Closing Date to each of the Noteholders, Equipment Notes in the principal amounts and maturities and bearing the interest rates, in each case in registered form and substantially in the form set forth in 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 his execution of such Equipment Notes.

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 ”). 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.

The Equipment Notes shall be authenticated on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by any Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee.

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

For so long as any Series of Equipment Notes is listed on any stock exchange, Issuer shall appoint and maintain a Paying Agent and a Note Registrar in the jurisdiction in which such stock exchange is located. Issuer shall cause each Note Registrar to keep a register of each such Series of Equipment Notes for which it is acting as Note Registrar and of their transfer and exchange (the “ Register ”).

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), Issuer shall promptly appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents to perform the functions of the Authorized Agent which has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have ceased to be eligible under this Section.

No interest shall be paid to any beneficial owner and no interest 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.

Section 2.06 Minimum Denomination.

Unless otherwise set forth 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.

Section 2.07 Exchange Option.

If the holder 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 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), 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 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 C-5 and C-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 C-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, the 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, Issuer shall, 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, issue, 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, 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 Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or such Note Registrar.

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 Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for a Book-Entry Note, (b) Issuer elects to terminate the book-entry system for the Book-Entry Notes, or (c) an Event of Default has occurred and the Control Party of such Series certifies that continuation of a book-entry system through DTC (or a successor) for such Series is no longer in the best interests of such Noteholders of such Series, owners of beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Note 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 Series Supplements 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 Series Supplements 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 Issuer in immediately available funds or the equivalent, so long as DTC continues to make its Same-Day Funds Settlement System available to Issuer.

None of 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 of such Series, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose name the Definitive Notes are registered in the Register as Noteholders hereunder. Neither Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be liable if the Indenture Trustee or Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor DTC.

Definitive Notes of any Series will be freely 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 as to any Series that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Book-Entry Note 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 paragraph (b) of this Section shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (f) of Section 2.11, 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 a Unrestricted Book-Entry Note pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (f) of Section 2.11, bear the Private Placement Legend applicable to a Unrestricted Book-Entry Note set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

It is understood that Optional Redemptions do not effect a release of Collateral from the Security Interest of this Master Indenture, unless resulting in the repayment of all Secured Obligations in full.

Section 3.16 Procedure for Redemptions.

(a) Method of Redemption. In the case of any Redemption, Issuer will deposit, or will cause to be deposited, in the Redemption/Defeasance Account an amount equal to the Redemption Price of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed. Once a Redemption Notice in respect of a Redemption is published, the applicable outstanding principal amount of each Series of Equipment Notes (or Class thereof) to which such Redemption Notice applies will become due and payable on the Redemption Date stated in such Redemption Notice at its Redemption

Price. In the case of a redemption in whole of a Series, all Equipment Notes within such Series that are redeemed will be surrendered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation and accordingly may not be reissued or resold.

(b) Deposit of Redemption Amount. On or before any Redemption Date in respect of a Redemption under Section 3.15, Issuer shall, to the extent an amount equal to the Redemption Price of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed and any transaction expenses as of the Redemption Date is not then held by Issuer or on deposit in the Redemption/Defeasance Account, deposit or cause to be deposited such amount in the Redemption/Defeasance Account.

(c) Equipment Notes Payable on Redemption Date. After notice has been given under Section 3.16(d) hereof as to the Redemption Date in respect of any Redemption, the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date shall become due and payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and from and after such Redemption Date (unless there shall be a default in the payment of the applicable amount to be redeemed) such principal amount shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any Equipment Note for Redemption in accordance with such notice, the Redemption Price of such Equipment Note shall be paid as provided for in Section 3.13(d). If any Equipment Note to be redeemed shall not be so paid, the Outstanding Principal Balance thereof shall continue to bear interest from the Redemption Date until paid at the interest rate applicable to such Equipment Note.

(d) Redemption Notice. In respect of any Redemption of any Series of Equipment Notes to be made out of amounts available for such purposes, the Indenture Trustee will give a Redemption Notice to each holder of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed, provided that the Indenture Trustee shall have determined in advance of giving any such Redemption Notice that funds are or will, on the Redemption Date, be available therefor. Such Redemption Notice will be given at least twenty (20) days but not more than sixty (60) days before such Redemption Date, other than in the case of a Refinancing as to which such Redemption Notice shall be given at least five (5) days but not more than thirty (30) days before the Redemption Date. Each Redemption Notice will state (i) the applicable Redemption Date, (ii) the Indenture Trustee’s arrangements for making payments due on the Redemption Date, (iii) the Redemption Price of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed, (iv) for an Optional Redemption in whole of any Series, that Equipment Notes to be redeemed must be surrendered (which action may be taken by any holder of the Equipment Notes or its authorized agent) to the Indenture Trustee to collect the Redemption Price on such Equipment Notes and (v) that, unless Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, if any, interest on Equipment Notes called for Redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.

(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;

Such right shall be exercised by giving the Indenture Trustee written notice of the intent to purchase the Class A Notes (a “ Purchase Option Notice ”) and the date on which such purchase is to be consummated (the “ Class A Note Purchase Date ”), which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than twenty (20) Business Days after the date of the Purchase Option Notice. If there is more than one Class A Note Purchaser, the Class A Notes shall be allocated between or among the Class A Note Purchasers in proportion to the Outstanding Principal Balance of their Class B Notes or on such other basis as such Holders of Class B Notes may agree, and the Class A Note Purchase Date shall be the date specified in the related Purchase Option Notice delivered by such Class A Note Purchasers.

If any Class A Note Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Class A Notes, such Holder shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its rights to purchase the Class A Notes, and, if there are multiple Class A Note Purchasers, the remaining Class A Note Purchasers must tender the purchase price allocable to the portion of the Class A Notes allocable to such defaulting Class A Note Purchaser, in such manner as they shall agree, or all such Class A Notes Purchasers shall be deemed to have cancelled the purchase of the Class A Notes pursuant to such Purchase Option Notice. The non-defaulting Class A Note Purchasers may elect to defer the Class A Note Purchase Date by not more than three (3) Business Days for purposes of arranging such tender.

	(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 current appraised value of the reinvestment 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 minimus extent).

(H) The sum of (x) the Adjusted Value of the Railcars to be sold in such Railcar Disposition, (y) the aggregate sum of the Adjusted Values of all Portfolio Railcars that 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 35% of the highest aggregate Adjusted Value of all Portfolio Railcars held by Issuer at any particular time up to the related date of sale.

(iv) With respect to a Permitted Railcar Disposition constituting a Purchase Option Disposition, Issuer will, if not electing to deposit such proceeds directly into the Collections Account, deposit the related Net Disposition Proceeds into the Mandatory Replacement Account for application, within the Replacement Period, to a purchase of Qualifying Replacement Railcars in a Replacement Exchange.

(b) Railcar Acquisitions. Issuer will not purchase or otherwise acquire a Railcar (or an interest therein) other than the Initial Railcars or any interest therein, except that, Issuer will be permitted to: (i) purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, Railcars constituting Qualifying Replacement Railcars in connection with any Replacement Exchange, (ii) acquire one or more additional Railcars pursuant to a capital contribution, (iii) purchase or

otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, Additional Railcars with the proceeds of the issuance of Additional Notes, or (iv) any combination of the transactions described in clauses (ii) and (iii), so long as, in each case of clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, each of the following requirements are satisfied on or prior to such purchase or other acquisition:

(vii) that the Railcars will be free and clear of Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.

(c) Permitted Railcar Acquisition. A Railcar acquisition by Issuer complying with the provisions in subsection (b) immediately above constitutes a “Permitted Railcar Acquisition” .

(d) Modification Payments and Capital Expenditures. Issuer will not make any capital expenditures for the purpose of effecting any optional improvement or modification of any Railcar, except that 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 3.08; and

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

In the case of any Optional Modification, 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 Railcar as a result of the expenditure on such Optional Modification.

(e) Leases.

(i) Issuer will not surrender possession of any Railcar to any Person other than for purposes of maintenance or overhaul or pursuant to a Permitted Lease.

(ii) 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 Issuer specifically or generally from time to time by the Manager (collectively, the “ Pro Forma Lease ”), for use by the Manager on behalf of 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 Lease, (y) the leasing of a Railcar to a Person that is or was a Lessee under a pre-existing Lease, or (z) the leasing of a 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 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. Issuer will not sell, purchase, lease or otherwise take any action with respect to any Railcar if entering into such proposed sale, purchase, lease or other action would cause the Portfolio to no longer comply with the Concentration Limits. Also, Issuer will not effect 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.

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 Railcar for the purpose of repairs, maintenance, modification or storage, or by virtue of any requisition, seizure, or confiscation of a Railcar (other than seizure or confiscation arising from a breach by Issuer of such covenant) (each, a “Third Party Event” ), so long as (i) neither Issuer nor the Manager has consented to such Third Party Event; and (ii) Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) as the Lessor of such 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 Railcar is located), seeking to compel such Lessee or other relevant Person to remedy such Third Party Event or seeking to repossess the relevant Railcar:

(a) Ownership. Issuer will (i) on all occasions on which the ownership of each Railcar is relevant, make it clear to third parties that title to the same is held by 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 Issuer as owner of each Railcar, except as contemplated by the Operative Agreements.

(b) Compliance with Law; Maintenance of Permits. 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 Railcar under any 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 Railcar under any operating Lease.

(c) Forfeiture. 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 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 if (i) adequate resources have been made available by 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 Railcar not constituting a Total Loss, Issuer will use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt release of such Railcar.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Maintenance of Assets. Issuer will, with respect to each Railcar under Lease, cause, directly or indirectly, such 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 Railcar and the jurisdiction in which the Railcar is or will be operated or in which the Lessee is based. In addition, Issuer will, with respect to each Railcar that is not subject to a Lease, maintain such 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.

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

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

(i) Insurance. Issuer will at all times after the Initial 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-/7 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. In addition, Issuer shall cause the Insurance Manager to maintain insurance at levels and amounts as set forth in any Series Supplement.

(ii) Additional Insurance. In the event that Issuer shall fail to maintain insurance as herein provided or provided in any Series Supplement, the Indenture Trustee may at its option, upon prior written notice to Issuer, provide such insurance and, in such event, 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 A Notes, on the amount of the cost to the Indenture Trustee of such insurance which Issuer shall have failed to maintain. If after the Indenture Trustee has provided such insurance, Issuer then obtains the coverage provided for in Section 5.04(g) which was replaced by the insurance provided by the Indenture Trustee, and 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(g)(ii).

104

provided further, however, that any Event of Default may be waived in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof.

Any such modification approved by a Requisite Majority will be binding on all Noteholders.

Issuer shall give each Rating Agency prior notice of any amendment under this Section 10.01 and any amendments of its constitutive documents by Issuer, and, after an amendment under this Section 10.01 becomes effective, Issuer shall mail to the Holders and the Rating Agencies a notice briefly describing such amendment. Any failure of 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 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, or the waiver or authorization of any breach or prospective breach 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.

SUBORDINATION

Section 11.01 Subordination.

(a) Each Noteholder and Service Provider and Series Enhancer agrees that its claims against Issuer for payment of amounts are 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. Each such Person is also obligated to hold for the benefit of the Senior Claimant any amounts received by such Person 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.

(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 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 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 Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or by any failure by either 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.

106

(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 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 Class A Liquidity Reserve Account or the Class B Liquidity Reserve Account or the Class B Special Reserve Account, as applicable, and in accordance with the terms of this Master Indenture and the related Series Supplement and (iii) funds on deposit in any Series Account or Class 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.

(f) in the case of the legal defeasance option, 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 legal 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 legal defeasance had not occurred;

110

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 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 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.

113

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 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 (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 Security 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.

Section 13.07 Application to Court.

The Indenture Trustee may at any time after the service of a Default Notice apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order that the terms of this Master Indenture be carried into execution under the direction of such court and for the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof and for any other order in relation to the administration of this Master Indenture as the Requisite Majority shall deem fit and it may assent to or approve any application to any court of competent jurisdiction made at the instigation of any of the Noteholders and shall be indemnified by Issuer against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in relation to any such application or proceedings.

Section 13.08 Governing Law.

THIS INDENTURE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

Section 13.09 Jurisdiction.

(a) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the United States federal and New York State courts located in The City of New York shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Master Indenture and, for such purposes, submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.

114

claim that any such court is not a convenient or appropriate forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the process by which any suit, action or proceeding is begun may be served on it by being delivered in connection with any suit, action or proceeding in The City of New York to the Person named as the process agent of such party in Schedule 5 at the address set out therein or at the principal New York City office of such process agent, if not the same.

(a) The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 13.09(a) shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Indenture Trustee to take proceedings against Issuer in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents generally in respect of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Master Indenture to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such action or proceeding, including the making, enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever (irrespective of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment which may be made or given in such action or proceeding.

Section 13.10 Counterparts.
