SECTION 3.2. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The Seller has the corporate or other necessary power and authority, and the legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.3. No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery by the Seller, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, nor performance of and compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof by the Seller, nor the exercise of remedies by the Buyer under this Agreement, will (i) violate or conflict with any provision of the Seller’s Organization Documents (ii) violate, contravene or conflict with any Applicable Law, (iii) violate, contravene or conflict with any Contractual Obligation to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller may be bound, or (iv) result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to its properties (other than Liens created by the Transaction Documents).

Governmental Authority or arbitration board or tribunal which would affect adversely the ability of the Seller to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement, nor is the Seller or any of its Affiliates in default with respect to any order of any court or Governmental Authority or arbitration board or tribunal, the default under which would adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform their respective obligations under, or the enforcement ability of, this Agreement.

applications, statements and reports to all Governmental Authorities and other Persons that are required to be made prior to the applicable Transfer Date by or on behalf of the Seller or any of its Affiliates pursuant to any Applicable Law or Transferred Lease in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall cooperate with the Buyer in making all such filings, notices, applications, statements and reports that are required to be made prior to the applicable Transfer Date by or on behalf of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates pursuant to any Applicable Law in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 4.3. Notification of Breach. The Seller will advise the Buyer and the Agent promptly, in reasonable detail, upon discovery of the occurrence of any material breach by the Seller of any of its representations, warranties and covenants contained herein.

SECTION 4.4. Taxes. Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any and all sales, use, gross receipts, and other similar transaction-based taxes imposed on arising with respect to the Transferred Assets pursuant to this Agreement by any government or agency or subdivision thereof (each a “Transfer Tax”) shall be paid by Seller, if permitted by Applicable Law. In the event that any Transfer Tax is payable with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the payment of such Transfer Tax by Seller is not permitted by Applicable Law, then:

(a) the separate statement, payment, and reporting of all such Transfer Tax shall be made by the Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, on behalf of the Buyer, in accordance with Applicable Law; and

(b) The Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, (i) shall recalculate and separately state the purchase price paid for such Transferred Assets such that the sum of such recalculated purchase price plus the Transfer Tax thereon to be paid by the Buyer is equal to the Purchase Price for such Transferred Assets, (ii) collect and set aside a portion of such Purchase Price in an amount equal to the Transfer Tax computed in clause (i) of this paragraph and (iii) remit such portion as Transfer Tax to any government or taxing authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

Buyer and Seller agree to timely sign and deliver such valid exemption or other certificates or forms as Buyer or Seller may reasonably request and as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or make a report with respect to, Transfer Taxes. If a written claim for a Transfer Tax is made by a government or taxing authority against either Seller or Buyer, such party shall give prompt notice in writing of such claim to the other party (and in any event within 30 days after its receipt) and shall promptly furnish the other party with copies of such claim and all other writings received from the government or taxing authority related to such claim. Any contest pursuant to this section shall be subject to the control and prosecution of Seller, subject to the reasonable notice and approval of Buyer.

SECTION 4.5. Property Tax Reimbursement. The Seller shall reimburse Buyer for property Taxes paid or to be paid by the Buyer for any period arising out of ownership of the Transferred Railcars prior to the Transfer Date with respect thereto. The Seller shall make such reimbursement promptly upon payment by the Buyer of such Taxes.

SECTION 4.6. Substantive Consolidation. Buyer will be operated in such a manner so that it would not be substantively consolidated with the Seller, so that the separate existences of Buyer and Seller would not be disregarded in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of Seller, and in such regard, among other things:

(a) Seller will not be involved in the day-today management of the Buyer, except in its capacity as Member (although officers or employees of Seller or its parent may serve as officers and/or managing trustees of the Buyer);

(b) Seller will maintain separate corporate records and books of account from the Buyer and otherwise will observe corporate formalities and will provide a separate area within its office space for the Buyer;

(c) Seller will maintain its assets separately from the assets of the Buyer (including through the maintenance of a separate bank account), and Seller’s assets, and records relating thereto, have not been, and are not and will not be, commingled with those of the Buyer (except as permitted by the Customer Collections Account Administration Agreement and except for misdirected Lease payments);

(d) all of Seller’s business correspondence and other communications will be conducted in Seller’s own name and on its own stationary;

(e) Seller will not act as an agent for the Buyer (except to the extent contemplated in the Transaction Documents);

(f) Seller will not conduct any of the business of the Buyer in Seller’s name (except in its capacity as Member);

(g) Seller will not pay any liabilities of Buyer, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents;

(h) Seller will maintain an arm’s length relationship with Buyer;

(i) Seller will not assume or guarantee or become obligated for the debts of Buyer or hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the obligations of Buyer;

(j) Seller will not acquire obligations of Buyer;

(k) Seller will allocate fairly and reasonably overhead or other expenses that are properly shared with Buyer;

(l) Seller will identify and hold itself out as a separate and distinct entity from Buyer;

(m) Seller will not identify Buyer as a division or part of Seller;

(n) Seller will not induce any third party to rely on the creditworthiness of the Buyer in order that such third party will be induced to contract with the Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Buyer); and

(o) Seller will not enter into, or be party to, any other transactions with Buyer except as provided in the Transaction Documents or except in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which are intrinsically fair and are no less favorable to Buyer than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party.

SECTION 4.7. No Bankruptcy Petition Against the Buyer. The Seller will not, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all amounts owing pursuant to the Transaction Documents, institute against the Buyer, or join any other Person in instituting against the Buyer, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction. This Section 4.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.8. Chattel Paper Counterparts. In the event any executed original of an Initial Lease comes into the possession of the Seller after the Effective Date that does not already contain a fully executed Chattel Paper Legend, the Seller shall, if permitted under the terms of the applicable Initial Lease, retain such original in its capacity as Servicer, whereupon the Seller shall stamp such original with a Chattel Paper Legend and xxxx such original with a number that continues the numbering system begun on the originally executed copies of such Lease which were marked with such Legend and designation on or prior to the Effective Date in accordance with clause (h) of Section 3.17.

SECTION 4.9. Rescission of Transfer. The Buyer shall have the right, at any time, to rescind the transfer of any particular Railcars and the related Leases thereof effected hereunder if, as of the applicable Transfer Date, any of the Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in Article III with respect to such Railcars or such Leases are untrue or unperformed in any respect and such untruth or failure to perform has a Material Adverse Effect. Such right of rescission may also be exercised by the Agent. Upon notice by the Buyer or the Agent of rescission under this Section 4.9, the Seller shall promptly re-acquire the Transferred Assets subject of such rescission from the Buyer for (i) either (x) a repurchase price equal to Adjusted Collateral Value of such Transferred Assets or (y) an in kind exchange for a Qualifying Replacement Railcar with an Appraised Fair Market Value (within sixty (60) days of acquisition by the Borrower) of at least the Adjusted Collateral Value of the Railcar subject to the rescission (except to a de minimis extent) determined at the time of the rescission, plus (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, fees, and counsel expenses, incurred by the Buyer in connection with such Transferred Assets, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Net Cash Proceeds Account and, upon receipt of such amounts in the Net Cash Proceeds Account and upon the transfer of the Qualifying Replacement Railcar, if applicable, the Buyer will convey to the Seller the applicable Transferred Assets free and clear of all Liens other than the Lien of the Lease and any Lien resulting by, through or under the Seller. Any rescission pursuant to this Section 4.9 shall not be deemed to be an Asset Disposition. The proceeds of any such rescission shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.07(b)(iv) of the Loan Agreement.
