provided, that to the extent that the portion of the Purchase Price for such sale

(b) and the Purchaser in each case hereby agrees to purchase, acquire, accept and assume

irrevocable, without reservation or retention of any interest whatsoever by such Seller.

such Delivery Date, or from Disposition Proceeds held in the Mandatory Replacement Account
or the Optional Reinvestment Account), to TILC Seller by wire transfer on the applicable

against the Purchaser in a negative fashion when such Railcars are compared with the other railcars

following representations and warranties for the benefit of each Seller, on which Seller relies in
Conveying Railcars, Leases and Related Assets to the Purchaser hereunder. Such representations are
made as of the Initial Closing Date and each other applicable Delivery Date.
(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Purchaser has been duly organized and is
validly existing and in good standing as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of
Texas, with the power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such
properties are currently owned and such business is currently conducted, and had at all relevant
times, and has, full power, authority and legal right to acquire and own the Railcars and Leases
Conveyed hereunder.
(b) Due Qualification. The Purchaser is duly qualified (except where the failure to
be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect) to do business as a foreign limited
partnership in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses (except to the extent that
such failure to obtain such licenses is inconsequential) and approvals in all jurisdictions in
which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification, licenses and/or approvals.
(c) Power and Authority. The Purchaser has the power, authority and legal right to
execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out the terms hereof and to acquire the Railcars
and Leases Conveyed hereunder; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
all of the documents required pursuant hereto have been duly authorized by the Purchaser by all
necessary action.
(d) No Consent Required. The Purchaser is not required to obtain the consent of any
other Person, or any consent, license (except to the extent that such failure to obtain such
licenses is inconsequential), approval or authorization or registration or declaration with, any
governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the execution, delivery or performance
of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, except for such as have
been obtained, effected or made.
(e) Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms,
subject, as to enforceability, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
14
conservatorship, receivership, liquidation or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.
(f) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement and the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not and will not conflict with, result in any
breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of
time) a default under, the organizational documents of the Purchaser, or conflict with or breach
any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a
default under, any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the
Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound or to which any of its properties are
subject, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its properties pursuant to
the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument (other than
liens created hereunder or under the Indenture), or violate any law or any order, rule or
regulation, applicable to the Purchaser or its properties, of any federal or state regulatory body,
any court, administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over
the Purchaser or any of its properties.
(g) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or, to the
Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser before any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency, or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over
the Purchaser or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the
Transaction Documents, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, (iii) seeking any determination
or ruling that could have an adverse effect on the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations
under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents,
(iv) that may have an adverse effect on the federal or state income tax attributes of, or seek to
impose any excise, franchise, transfer or similar tax upon, the transfer and acquisition of the
Railcars and Leases Conveyed hereunder or (v) that could have an adverse effect on the Railcars and
Leases Conveyed to the Purchaser hereunder.
(h) Consideration. The Purchaser has given fair consideration and reasonably
equivalent value in exchange for the Conveyance of the Railcars, Leases and Related Assets being
Conveyed hereunder.
In the event of any breach of a representation and warranty made by the Purchaser hereunder, each
Seller covenants and agrees that such Seller will not take any action to pursue any remedy that it
may have hereunder, in law, in equity or otherwise, until a year and a day have passed since all
Outstanding Obligations under all other Operative Agreements have been paid in full. Each Seller
and the Purchaser agree that damages will not be an adequate remedy for a breach of this covenant
and that this covenant may be specifically enforced by the Purchaser or any third party beneficiary
described in Section 6.10.
15
SECTION 4.5 Indemnification.
(a) TILC Seller, or TRLT-II Manager on behalf of TRLT-II Seller, shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless the Purchaser, the Manager, the Indenture Trustee, each Series Enhancer, each
Noteholder, each of their respective Affiliates and each of respective directors, officers,
employees, successors and permitted assigns, agents and servants of the foregoing (each an
“Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, obligations,
penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether
or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort), that may be
imposed upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against any Indemnified Person arising out of or
resulting from any breach of Seller’s representations and warranties and covenants contained
herein, except (A) those resulting solely from any gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of the particular Indemnified Person claiming indemnification hereunder, (B) those in
respect of taxes that are otherwise addressed by the provisions of (and subject to the limitations
of) subsection (c) of this Section 4.5 below, or (C) to the extent that providing such
indemnity would constitute recourse for losses due to the uncollectibility of sale proceeds (or any
particular amount of sale proceeds) in respect of a Railcar due to a diminution in market value of
such Railcar, or of Lease payments due to the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to pay
of the related Lessee (the “Excluded Amounts”).
(b) TILC Seller, or TRLT-II Manager on behalf of TRLT-II Seller, will defend and indemnify and
hold harmless each Indemnified Person against any and all costs, expenses, losses, obligations,
penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether
or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort), that may be
imposed upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against such Indemnified Person, other than
Excluded Amounts, arising out of or resulting from any action taken by Seller, other than in
accordance with this Agreement or the Indenture or other applicable Operative Agreement, in respect
of any portion of the Railcars, Leases and Related Assets that are Conveyed hereunder.
(c) TILC Seller, or TRLT-II Manager on behalf of TRLT-II Seller, agrees to pay, and shall
defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against, any taxes (other than
taxes based upon the income of an Indemnified Party and taxes that would constitute Excluded
Amounts) that may at any time be asserted against any Indemnified Party with respect to the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any sales, gross
receipts, general corporation, tangible or intangible personal property, privilege, or license
taxes and costs and expenses in defending against the same, arising by reason of the
acts to be performed by Seller under this Agreement and imposed against such Person. Without
limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Purchaser, the Manager or the Indenture Trustee
receives actual notice of any transfer taxes arising out of the Conveyance of any Railcar or Lease
from Seller to the Purchaser under this Agreement, on written demand by such party, or upon Seller
otherwise being given notice thereof, TILC Seller, or TRLT-II Manager on behalf of TRLT-II Seller,
shall pay, and otherwise indemnify and hold harmless the applicable Indemnified Person, the Manager
and the Indenture Trustee harmless, on an After-Tax Basis, from and against any and all such
transfer taxes (it being understood that none of the Purchaser, the Manager, the Indenture Trustee
or any other Indemnified Person shall have any contractual obligation to pay such transfer taxes).
16
(d) TILC Seller, or TILC, as “Manager” under the TRLT-II Management Agreement on behalf of
TRLT-II Seller, shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against
any and all costs, expenses, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or
suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or
absolute liability or liability in tort), to the extent that any of the foregoing may be imposed
upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against such Indemnified Person due to the negligence,
willful misfeasance, or bad faith of Seller in the performance of its duties under this Agreement
or by reason of reckless disregard of Seller’s obligations and duties under this Agreement.
(e) TILC Seller, or TRLT-II Manager on behalf of TRLT-II Seller, shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any costs, expenses, losses, obligations,
penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether
or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort), that may be
imposed upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against such Indemnified Person, other than
Excluded Amounts, as a result of the failure of any Railcar or Lease Conveyed hereunder to comply
with all requirements of applicable law as of the Initial Closing Date or other applicable Delivery
Date.
Indemnification under this Section 4.5 shall include reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel and expenses of litigation. The indemnity obligations hereunder shall be in addition to
any obligation that any Seller may otherwise have under applicable law or any other Operative
Agreement.
SECTION 4.6 Special Indemnification by TILC regarding Exercise of Setoff by Customers.
TILC hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, each Series Enhancer, the Noteholders
and each other Secured Party, that it will, within 45 days after the date on which it has knowledge
that any Lessee shall have reduced any payments made by such Lessee under any Lease in the
Portfolio as a result of or in connection with any setoff exercised by such Lessee (regardless of
whether such Lessee actually has any contractual, statutory or other right to exercise such setoff)
with respect to amounts owed or presumed owed to such Lessee pursuant to railcar leases that are
not in the Portfolio, and provided that the applicable Lessee shall not have made payments
aggregating the full amount payable by such Lessee under the applicable Lease
prior to the end of such 30-day period, deposit into the Collections Account an amount, in
immediately available funds, equal to the amount of such reduction.
Indemnification under this Section 4.6 shall include reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel and expenses of litigation. The indemnity obligations hereunder shall be in addition to
any obligation that TILC may otherwise have under applicable law or any other Operative Agreement.

statements, STB or Registrar General of Canada filings (each in form proper for filing in the

Trustee as assignee and describing the Railcars, Leases and Related Assets Conveyed by it to the
Purchaser as collateral, with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas (in the

Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee shall have required. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller
hereby authorizes the Purchaser and/or any assignee thereof to prepare and file any such UCC-1
financing statements. From time to time thereafter, Seller shall authorize and file such financing
statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation statements, all in such manner
and in such places as may be required by law (or deemed desirable by the Purchaser or any assignee
thereof) to fully perfect, preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser under this
Agreement, and the security interest of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, in the Railcars,
Leases and Related Assets that are Conveyed hereunder and in the proceeds thereof. Seller shall
deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies
of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as following such filing in
accordance herewith. In the event that Seller fails to perform its obligations under this
subsection, the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee may perform such obligations, at the expense of
Seller, and Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee and grants to the
Purchaser and the Indenture Trustee an irrevocable power of attorney to take any and all steps in
order to perform such obligations in Seller’s or in its own name, as applicable, and on behalf of
Seller, as are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Purchaser or Indenture Trustee
or any assignee thereof.
(b) On or prior to Initial Closing Date and any other applicable Delivery Date hereunder,
Seller shall take all steps necessary under all applicable law in order to transfer and assign to
the Purchaser the Railcars and Leases being Conveyed on such date to the Purchaser so that, upon
the Conveyance of such Railcar or Lease from Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof
on the applicable Delivery Date, the Purchaser will have acquired good and marketable title to and
a valid and perfected ownership interest in such Railcars and Leases, free and clear of any
Encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances). On or prior to the
applicable Delivery Date hereunder, Seller shall take all steps required under applicable law
in order for the Purchaser to grant to the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security
interest in the Railcars and Leases being Conveyed to the Purchaser on such Delivery Date and, from
time to time thereafter, Seller shall take all such actions as may be required by applicable law
(or deemed desirable by the Purchaser) to fully preserve, maintain and protect the Purchaser’s
ownership interest in, and the Indenture Trustee’s first priority perfected security interest in
the Railcars and Leases which have been Conveyed to the Purchaser hereunder.
(c) Seller shall not change its name, identity, jurisdiction of organization or corporate
structure in any manner that would or could make any financing statement or
18
continuation statement
filed by Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement seriously misleading within the meaning of §
9-506 of the UCC (or any similar provision of the UCC), unless Seller shall have given the
Purchaser, the Manager and the Indenture Trustee at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof,
and shall promptly file and hereby authorize the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee to file
appropriate new financing statements or amendments to all previously filed financing statements and
continuation statements.
(d) Seller shall give the Purchaser, the Manager and the Indenture Trustee at least 30 days’
prior written notice of any relocation of its jurisdiction of organization if, as a result of such
relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any
previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement. Seller
shall at all times maintain its jurisdiction of organization, each office from which it manages or
purchases Railcars and Leases and its principal executive office within the United States of
America.
SECTION 5.2 Other Liens or Interests(a) . Except for the Conveyances hereunder,
Seller will not sell, pledge, assign, transfer or otherwise convey to any other Person, or grant,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Encumbrance on the Railcars and Leases Conveyed
hereunder or any interest therein (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and TILC Seller, or TRLT-II
Manager on behalf of TRLT-II Seller, shall defend the right, title, and interest of the Purchaser
and the Indenture Trustee in and to such Railcars and Leases against all Encumbrances or claims of
Encumbrances of third parties claiming through or under Seller. To the extent that any Railcar or
Lease shall at any time secure any debt of the related Lessee to Seller or any of its affiliates,
Seller agrees that any security interest in its favor arising from such a provision shall be
subordinate to the interest of the Purchaser (and its further assignees) in such Railcars and
Leases.
