ARTICLE II
THE CREDIT FACILITY
SECTION 2.01 Commitment to Lend. (a) Each Committed Lender severally agrees,
subject to the Agent’s determination that the terms and conditions of Sections 2.02 and
4.03 applicable to any Funding Date have been (i) satisfied or, (ii) solely to the extent
permitted by the last sentence of this clause (a) temporarily waived by the Agent, which
waiver shall last for a period of no longer than 5 Business Days, or, (iii) in all other cases,
waived by the Agent and all of the Lenders, and on the other terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, to make Loans to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.01 on each Funding Date
during the Availability Period in order to fund the acquisition of Railcars and related Leases by
the Borrower on such Funding Date. The Loans advanced on any Funding Date with respect to any
Railcars and related Leases shall not: (i) in the case of any Committed Lender, exceed (after
giving effect to all Loans of such Committed Lender and any Conduit Lender designated by such
Committed Lender repaid concurrently with the making of such Loans) its Available Commitment; (ii)
exceed the lesser of (A) the Unused Commitment Amount and (B) the product of the applicable
Advance Rate multiplied by the aggregate Fair Market Value of all Eligible Railcars
included in such Railcars; or (iii) when added to the aggregate amount of the Loans then
outstanding (after giving effect to all Loans repaid concurrently with the making of such Loans),
exceed the lesser of (A) the Commitment Amount and (B) the Borrowing Base (after giving
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
39
effect to
the addition to and/or removal of the respective Fair Market Values of any Eligible Railcars to be
added to or removed from the Portfolio on such Funding Date). Each Borrowing shall be in a minimum
aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, in the case of the first Borrowing hereunder, or
$1,000,000, in the case of subsequent Borrowings, and shall be made from the several Committed
Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. The Lenders have no obligation to
make any Loan hereunder except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Within the foregoing
limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, repay, or, to the extent permitted
by Section 2.07, prepay, Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.01. In
connection with the transactions on any Funding Date, the Agent may in its sole discretion grant
the Borrower a temporary waiver for a specified period of time (which, for the avoidance of doubt,
shall last for a period of no longer than 5 Business Days) to perform its obligations under
clauses (i) or (ii) of the penultimate sentence of clause (c) of
Section 2.02 and to fulfill the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than
clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (f), (g),
(m), or (n) thereof).
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement which requires Borrowings to be made
from the Committed Lenders (or from their related Conduit Lenders) ratably in proportion to the
respective Commitments of such Committed Lenders, or which requires payments of principal and
interest on the Loans to be made and allocated, or Loans to be continued or converted, based on
Commitment Percentages rather than outstanding principal amounts:
(i) if, as a result of any increase in a Committed Lender’s Commitment, its Commitment
Percentage is greater than the percentage which the Loans of such Committed Lender and its
related Conduit Lenders constitutes of the aggregate outstanding Loans of all Lenders, then
any further Borrowing will be made from such Committed Lender and its related Conduit
Lenders on a non-pro-rata basis until their outstanding Loans constitute the same
percentage of all the outstanding Loans as such Committed Lender’s Commitment Percentage,
(ii) payments of principal and interest on the Loans will be made to the Lenders
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans, and
(iii) outstanding Loans will be continued and converted according to their outstanding
principal amounts rather than the Committed Percentages of the applicable Lenders.
SECTION 2.02 Procedures for Borrowing.
(a) Requests; Delivery of Funding Packages. The Borrower may from time to time
provide the Agent with a Request, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, to add
additional Railcars and related Leases to the Portfolio. Concurrent with the delivery of the
Request, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the Funding Package for each such Railcar. The
Borrower shall also set forth in such Request for each Lease in effect prior to the proposed
Funding Date, a statement that, to the knowledge of the Facility Parties, (i) the Lessee has made
rent payments on time (giving effect to any applicable grace periods) under such Lease or, if not,
a description of any late payments of which any Facility Party is aware during the one-year
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
40
period
(or shorter period, if the term of such Lease commenced less than one year prior to the date of
such Request) prior to the date of such Request and a summary description of any earlier such
defaults, if any, of which any Facility Party is aware and (ii) no Lease Default or Lease Event of
Default under such Lease has occurred during the one-year period (or shorter period, if the term of
such Lease commenced less than one year prior to the date of such Request), prior to the date of
such Request or, if that is not the case, a description of any such Lease Default or Lease Event of
Default of which any Facility Party is aware. The Borrower shall supplement the Request with
whatever additional information the Agent reasonably requests about the proposed transaction.
(b) Determination of Acceptability by the Agent. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Section 2.02 and Section 4.03 applicable to any Funding Date either (i)
being satisfied or (ii) solely to the extent permitted by the last sentence of Section
2.01(a), temporarily waived by the Agent, the Agent shall determine, with exercise of its sole
discretion, whether or not to include each Railcar and Lease described in any Request and related
Funding Package in the Portfolio; provided that, in the case of any Railcar of any
Designated Type which, if included in the Portfolio, would cause the Aggregate FMV of all Portfolio
Railcars of such Designated Type to exceed 30% of the Commitment Amount, the written approval
of the Agent (acting with consent of all the Lenders) shall be required to approve such Railcar for
inclusion in the Portfolio. Within six Business Days of receipt of the Request and a complete
Funding Package with respect to such Railcar, the Agent shall inform the Borrower if the Railcar
and Lease referred to in the Request and Funding Package may be added (subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement) to the Portfolio. In exercising its discretion to determine whether
to include a transaction that is the subject of a Request in the Portfolio, the Agent shall
consider the following factors, among others: the current and future anticipated value of the
Railcar, the current and anticipated users of the Railcar and maintenance issues related to the
Railcar; the credit quality of the proposed Lessee, its ability to perform its obligations under
the proposed Lease, its performance record with respect to other leases and debt obligations and
its maintenance and operational standards; whether the transaction is appropriate to be included in
a Securitization; and whether the Securitization contemplated by the Borrower can be completed
prior to the third Scheduled Payment Date.
(c) Notice of Borrowings. Upon approval by the Agent (with the consent of the
Required Lenders, if required) of a Railcar and any related Lease to be added to the Portfolio in
accordance with Section 2.02(b) (but in any event no more frequently than once in any
week), the Borrower may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, borrow Loans in
respect of each such Railcar and related Lease which is an Eligible Railcar and/or Eligible Lease,
as applicable. In such event, the Borrower shall give the Agent a Notice of Borrowing not later
than 11:00 A.M. on the second Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Funding Date,
specifying:
(i) the proposed Funding Date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day no
earlier than 10 Business Days (unless otherwise approved by the Agent) following receipt by
the Agent of the Request and a complete Funding Package with respect to each Railcar;
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
41
(ii) the aggregate amount of the Borrowing to be made on such Funding Date; and
(iii) a description of the Eligible Railcars to be financed and the Eligible Lease(s)
to be pledged on such Funding Date (which may be by cross reference to or attachment of the
related Request);
and attaching a pro forma Borrowing Base Certificate giving effect to all Loans requested pursuant
to such Notice of Borrowing and the pledge of all Railcars and Leases to be added to the Portfolio
on the proposed Funding Date. The Agent shall deliver to all Committed Lenders a copy of the
Funding Package with respect to all Railcars funded on any Funding Date within 10 Business Days
after such Funding Date.
SECTION 2.03 Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans.
(a) Notice to Lenders. Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall
promptly deliver to each Committed Lender (i) a Financing Notice notifying such Committed Lender of
such Funding Date and of such Committed Lender’s ratable share of the Loans referred to therein and
(ii) the pro forma Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrower to the Agent pursuant to
Section 2.02(c).
(b) Funding of Loans. Not later than 11:00 A.M. on the applicable Funding Date, each
Lender shall make available or instruct (followed by diligent attention to such instruction until
such time as the Agent shall have received such Loan) its correspondent bank, if any, to make
available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the
Depositary at the Depositary’s Office. Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition
specified in Article IV has not been satisfied or waived, the Agent shall, by 2:30 P.M.,
instruct the Depositary to make the amount of such
Borrowing available to the Borrower at the general deposit account in the United States
designated by the Borrower in immediately available funds in a wire transfer. In the event that
the conditions as set forth in Section 4.03 for such Loan are not satisfied or waived on
the applicable Funding Date, the Agent shall instruct the Depositary to return to the Lenders their
respective Loans advanced pursuant to this Section 2.03.
A Notice of Borrowing, once delivered to the Agent, shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower. Following such Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any
loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill, on or before
the proposed Funding Date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, the conditions set forth in
Section 4.03, including any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
re-employment of deposits or such funds acquired by the Lenders to fund the Loans to be made
pursuant to this Section 2.03(b). Any such loss, cost or expense shall be paid in
accordance with Section 2.07(c) after any Lender shall have furnished to the Borrower and
the Agent, with reasonable supporting calculations, a notice specifying the amounts thereof.
(c) Funding by the Agent in Anticipation of Amounts Due from the Lenders. Unless the
Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender
will not make available to the Depositary such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
42
Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Depositary on the Funding Date of such
Loan in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section, and the Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, instruct the Depositary to make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount on the Agent’s behalf. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have
so made such share available to the Depositary, such Lender and the Borrower (if and to the extent
such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent hereunder) severally agree to repay to
the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon for each
day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Agent at (i) a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the
Applicable Rate, in the case of the Borrower, and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate, in the case of such
Lender. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid
shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The failure of any Lender to make a Loan required
to be made by it as part of any Borrowing hereunder shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of
its obligation, if any, hereunder to make any Loan on the Funding Date of such Borrowing, but,
except as otherwise provided in Section 11.06(h), no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on such Funding Date.
(e) Failed Loans. If any Committed Lender (in such capacity, a “Failed
Lender”) shall fail to make any Loan (a “Failed Loan”, and the amount of such Failed
Loan, the “Failed Loan Amount”) which such Committed Lender is otherwise obligated
hereunder to make to the Borrower on the Funding Date of any Borrowing and the Agent shall not have
received notice from the Borrower or such Committed Lender that any condition precedent to the
making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied, then, until such Committed Lender shall have made
or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection (e)) the Failed
Loan in full or the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower or such Committed Lender
that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the
Failed Loan was to have been made, whenever the Agent shall receive any amount from the Borrower
for the account of such Committed Lender, (i) the amount so received (up to the amount of such
Failed Loan) will, upon receipt by the Agent, be deemed to have been paid to the Committed Lender
in satisfaction of the obligation for which paid, without actual disbursement of such amount to the
Committed Lender, (ii) the Committed Lender will be deemed to have made the same amount available
to the Agent for disbursement as a Loan to the Borrower (up to the amount of such Failed Loan)
and (iii) the Agent will disburse such amount (up to the amount of the Failed Loan) to the Borrower
or, if the Agent has previously made such amount available to the Borrower on behalf of such
Committed Lender pursuant to the provisions hereof, reimburse itself (up to the amount made
available to the Borrower); provided, however, that the Agent shall have no
obligation to disburse any such amount to the Borrower or otherwise apply it or deem it applied as
provided herein unless the Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion that to so disburse
such amount will not violate any law, rule, regulation or requirement applicable to the Agent.
Upon any such disbursement by the Agent, such Committed Lender shall be deemed to have made a Loan
to the Borrower in satisfaction, to the extent thereof, of such Committed Lender’s obligation to
make the Failed Loan.

SECTION 2.04 Evidence of Loans.
(a) Lender Accounts. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by
such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to
such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(b) Agent Records. The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or
to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any
sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c) Evidence of Debt. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.04 shall be conclusive evidence
(absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded;
provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to
repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.
(d) Notes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall
request and receive a Note or Notes as provided in Section 11.06 or otherwise, then the
Loans of such Lender shall be evidenced by a single Note substantially in the form of Exhibit
B, and payable to the order of such Lender in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of such Lender’s Loans.
(e) Note Endorsements. Each Lender having a Note shall record the date and amount of
each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with
respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement
of its Note, endorse on the reverse side or on the schedule, if any, forming a part thereof
appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each outstanding Loan
evidenced thereby; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or
endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any such Note.
Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach
to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required. When the
Borrower has paid a Note in full and the applicable Lender no longer has any Commitment
outstanding, such Lender will promptly return such Note to the Agent, who will return such Note to
the Borrower, against receipt therefor, marked “PAID IN FULL”.
(f) Lost, Mutilated and Destroyed Notes, etc. If any Note issued to a Lender pursuant
to this Agreement shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Borrower shall, upon the
written request of the holder of such Note, execute and deliver to the Agent, who shall endorse and
deliver to the applicable Lender in replacement thereof a new Note, payable to the same holder in the same
principal amount and dated the same date as the Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen. If
the Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Note shall be surrendered to the Borrower for
cancellation and if the Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such
Note shall furnish to the Borrower such indemnification as may be required by the Borrower to hold
the Borrower harmless and evidence reasonably satisfactory
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
44
to the Borrower of the destruction, loss
or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof; provided, however, that if the
holder of such Note is a Committed Lender, the written undertaking of such Lender shall be
sufficient indemnity for purposes of this Section 2.04(f).
SECTION 2.05 Interest.
(a) Rate of Interest.
(i) Each Committed Lender may elect to advance Loans at the Alternative Rate by
delivering an irrevocable notice to the Agent, on the Amendment Closing Date, notifying the
Agent of such election (a “Notice of Alternative Rate Election”). Upon receipt of
a Notice of Alternative Rate Election from any such Committed Lender, any Loan advanced by
such Committed Lender on or after the Amendment Closing Date will bear interest at the
Alternative Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, any Committed Lender or Conduit Lender not
delivering a Notice of Alternative Rate Election on the Amendment Closing Date will be
deemed to have declined such election, and any Loan advanced by such Lender on or after the
Amendment Closing Date will bear interest at the Applicable Rate or the CP Rate, as
applicable.
(ii) Subject to Section 3.05, each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day (excluding the last day) during each Interest Period
applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate or the Alternative
Rate, as applicable, for such day, or if any Conduit Lender shall so designate (in
accordance with the definition of CP Rate) for any Loan funded and maintained by such
Conduit Lender through the issuance of commercial paper, the CP Rate for such day;
provided that any change to the interest rate from the CP Rate to LIBOR may occur
at any time, but any change from LIBOR to the CP Rate shall not take effect until the next
succeeding Interest Period following receipt by the Borrower of written notice from the
Lender of such designation. Such interest shall be payable in arrears on each Settlement
Date and on the Termination Date.
(iii) At any time during which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
each Loan shall bear additional interest (in addition to the interest payable pursuant to
Section 2.05(a)(ii)) on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day
(excluding the last day) during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per
annum equal to the Default Margin and such accrued additional interest shall be aggregated
on the last day of such Interest Period (all such aggregated additional interest, the
“Aggregated Default Interest”). Such Aggregated Default Interest shall bear
interest on the outstanding amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period
applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Aggregated Default Interest Rate and
such accrued interest shall be aggregated on the last day of such Interest Period with the
Aggregated Default Interest and shall be deemed “Aggregated Default Interest” upon such
aggregation. Aggregated Default Interest and the interest thereon shall be payable in
arrears on the date on which the aggregate principal amount of the Loans have been paid in
full pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
45
(b) Determination and Notice of Interest Rates. Based on the election (or lack
thereof) made by each Lender in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(i), the Agent shall determine each
interest rate
applicable to the Loans hereunder as provided in this Agreement. The Agent shall give prompt
notice to the Borrower and the participating Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and
its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
SECTION 2.06 Repayment and Maturity of Loans. On each of the first two Scheduled
Payment Dates, the Borrower shall repay, and there shall become due and payable (together with
accrued interest thereon), to the Collection Account a principal amount of the Loans equal to the
excess (if any) of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding as of such
Scheduled Payment Date minus (y) the Permitted Interim Outstanding Principal Amount
applicable to such Scheduled Payment Date. On the third Scheduled Payment Date, the Borrower shall
repay, and there shall become due and payable, the remainder of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Loans and all accrued interest thereon (including all Aggregate Default Interest and
all accrued interest thereon), and the Loans of each Lender shall be ratably repaid. In the event
that any of such payments are not made when due, the Agent may, with the prior written consent of
each Lender (which such consent shall be in the sole discretion of each such Lender) extend any
such payment date on terms satisfactory to such Lenders (in their sole discretion);
provided that, any such extension shall not extend any such payment beyond the Legal Final
Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.07 Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right voluntarily to prepay
Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided, however, that (i)
each partial prepayment of Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and (ii) the
Borrower shall have given prior written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed
by written or telecopy notice) to the Agent by 10:00 A.M., at least five Business Days prior to the
date of prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal
amount to be prepaid. Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower
to prepay such Loan by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under
this Section 2.07(a) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being
prepaid to the date of payment together with any amounts owed to any Lender pursuant to Section
3.04 hereof.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower shall be required to prepay Loans as provided
in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 2.07(b). All payments under
this Section 2.07(b) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being
prepaid to the date of payment together with any amounts owed to any Lender pursuant to Section
3.04 hereof.
(i) On each Settlement Date, an aggregate amount equal to the amount of all Cash Flow
and other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (as of the Calculation Date
immediately preceding such Settlement Date in the case of any Settlement Date occurring
prior to the Revolving Termination Date) and, at the Agent’s discretion (subject to
Section 6.13(c)), the Liquidity Reserve Account shall be applied (and the Loans,
together with other Obligations then due, shall be prepaid to the extent
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
46
of cash available
therefore) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.07(c)(i),
2.07(c)(ii) or 2.07(c)(iii), as applicable.
(ii) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Loans,
the outstanding Loans shall be paid immediately, together with accrued interest thereon to
the date of such prepayment, the amount, if any, owed to each Lender pursuant to
Section 3.04 hereof and other Obligations owed hereunder.
(iii) If on any Settlement Date, the Agent notifies the Borrower that a Collateral
Deficiency exists, the Borrower shall on or prior to the next succeeding Settlement Date
(or, if such Collateral Deficiency exists solely as a result of an exclusion by the Agent
of any Designated Ineligible Type of Railcar or Lease or as a result of an exclusion of one
or more Eligible Railcars pursuant to clause (xvi) of the definition of “Excluded
Assets Amount”, the second succeeding Settlement Date) either (A) pay the amount of such
Collateral Deficiency together with accrued interest thereon and the amount, if any, owed
to each Lender pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof to the Collection Account, and on
the following Settlement Date, or at the sole discretion of the Agent upon receipt, such
payment shall be applied by the Agent in accordance with the then applicable provisions of
Section 2.07(c) or (B) purchase or acquire by capital contribution additional
Eligible Railcars and/or Eligible Leases approved by the Agent in its sole discretion
pursuant to Section 2.02 and/or other collateral acceptable to the Agent and all
the Lenders so that such Collateral Deficiency no longer exists.
(iv) On the first Business Day after receipt thereof by the Borrower, and
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.07(c)(i), (ii) or
(iii), any Net Cash Proceeds received from an Asset Disposition in connection with
a Securitization permitted by Section 7.05(iii) shall be paid to the Collection
Account and applied in accordance with the provisions of clauses second, third, fourth,
fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, tenth, eleventh and thirteenth of Section 2.07(c)(ii)
in such order; provided, that the Agent in its sole discretion may agree to the
application of such Net Cash Proceeds on a Business Day other than a Settlement Date, so
long as prior to and after giving effect to such application no Collateral Deficiency shall
exist.
(v) Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower from Asset Dispositions (other than in
connection with a Securitization),
(a) at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be paid into the Collection Account and
applied in the order or priority set forth in Section 2.07(c)(iii) on the
first Business Day after receipt by the Borrower of such Net Cash Proceeds, to the
extent required to cure such Event of Default if such Event of Default can be cured
in full solely by the payment of cash or immediately available funds;
(b) subject to Section 2.07(b)(v)(a), at any time during the
Availability Period, such Net Cash Proceeds not otherwise required to be paid in the
Collection Account pursuant to Sections 2.07(b)(iii), 2.07(b)(v)(c)
or 2.07(b)(vi) shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of clauses
second, third, fourth,
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
47
fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and fourteenth
of
Section 2.07(c)(i) in such order; provided, that the Agent may
agree to the application of such Net Cash Proceeds on a Business Day other than a
Settlement Date, so long as prior to and after giving effect to such application no
Collateral Deficiency shall exist; and
(c) at any other time, such Net Cash Proceeds not otherwise required to be paid
into the Collection Account pursuant to
Sections 2.07(b)(iii),
2.07(b)(v)(b) or 2.07(b)(vi) shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of clauses second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, tenth,
eleventh and thirteenth of Section 2.07(c)(ii) in such order;
provided, that the Agent in its sole discretion may agree to the application
of such Net Cash Proceeds on a Business Day other than a Settlement Date, so long as
prior to and after giving effect to such application no Collateral Deficiency shall
exist;
provided, however, that if the payment of such amount pursuant to Section
2.07(b)(v)(a), Section 2.07(b)(v)(b) or Section 2.07(b)(v)(c), together
with the occurrence of any related Event of Loss or any release of Railcars from the
Portfolio or the application of cash or Cash Equivalents from the Liquidity Reserve Account
pursuant to any provision hereof would result in a Collateral Deficiency, such payment
amount shall be increased (up to the amount of the total Net Cash Proceeds being applied on
such date) to the extent required to prevent such Collateral Deficiency from occurring.
(vi) On the first Settlement Date to occur after receipt of the proceeds of any
rescission pursuant to Section 4.11 of any Sale Agreement (or any time before such
first Settlement Date, if elected by the Borrower), the proceeds of such rescission shall
be applied first, to costs and expenses described in Section 4.11 of the
applicable Sale Agreement, second, in the order of priority set forth in
Section 2.07(c)(iii) such that and only to the extent that, after giving effect to
such payment, no Collateral Deficiency exists and third the balance, if any, as
directed by the Borrower.
(c) Application of Payments and Prepayments.
(i) Application of Collections During the Availability Period. Subject to
Section 2.07(c)(iii), so long as no Manager Default or Manager Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, on each Settlement Date during the Availability Period, all
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as of the Calculation Date immediately
preceding such Settlement Date and amounts which the Agent elects to apply from the then
current balance of the Liquidity Reserve Account shall be applied by the Depositary in the
following order of priority:
first, to the Manager, for distribution to the Lessees, if any, whose
payments in respect of the applicable Leases are not made net of any Railroad
Mileage Credits due and owing to such Lessee, an amount equal to the Railroad
Mileage Credits due to such Lessee for which an allocation has not previously been
made pursuant to this clause (or any corresponding clause of any other subsection in
this Section 2.07(c)) as certified to the Agent by the Manager not later
than the Calculation Date immediately preceding such Settlement Date;
Second Amended and Restated

48
second, to the payment of any fees or indemnities payable or expenses
(including the Liquidity Fee and, if the Manager is not TILC or one of its

prior written or telecopy notice to the Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once delivered to
the Agent; provided, however, no such termination or reduction shall be made which
would cause the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans to exceed the lesser of (i) the
Committed Amount as so reduced and (ii) the Borrowing Base at such time. The Agent shall promptly
notify each affected Lender of the receipt by the Agent of any notice from the Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.08(a). Any partial reduction of the Committed Amount pursuant to this
Section 2.08(a) shall be applied to the Commitments of the Committed Lenders
pro-rata based upon their respective Commitment Percentages.

Protected Party has demanded compensation or indemnification pursuant to Section 3.01,
3.03 or 3.04, (ii) the obligation of any Lender to fund its Loans at the Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02, (iii) a Market Disruption
Event exists or is in effect with respect to any Loan for any day during any Interest Period (other
than a Loan on which interest is based on the CP Rate or the Alternative Rate for such Interest
Period) or (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or
termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 11.03 or any other provision of any Loan
Document requires the consent of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, the Borrower shall
have the right, with the prior written consent of the Agent, to (i) remove such Lender and all
related Protected Parties by terminating the Commitment of the related Committed Lender in full or
(ii) replace such Lender and all related Protected Parties by causing the related Committed Lender
to assign its Commitment to one or more existing Committed Lenders or Eligible Assignees pursuant
to Section 11.06. The replacement of a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.08(b)
shall be effective on
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
54
the tenth Business Day following the date of notice of such replacement to
the Lenders through the Agent, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) each replacement Committed Lender and/or Eligible Assignee, and each Protected
Party subject to replacement, shall have satisfied the conditions to an Assignment and
Acceptance set forth in Section 11.06(b) and, in connection therewith, the
replacement Committed Lender(s) and/or Eligible Assignee(s) shall pay to each Protected
Party subject to replacement an amount equal in the aggregate to the sum of (A) the
principal of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, its outstanding Loans and (B) all
accrued but unpaid fees owing to it pursuant to Section 2.09; and
(ii) the Borrower shall have paid (from the Discretionary Account or otherwise) to the
Agent for the account of each replaced Protected Party an amount equal to all obligations
owing to such replaced Protected Party by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (other than those obligations of the Borrower referred to in
clause (i)(A) above).
In the case of the removal of a Protected Party pursuant to this Section 2.08(b), upon
payment by the Borrower (from the Discretionary Account or otherwise) to the Agent for the account
of the Protected Party subject to such removal of an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by such Protected Party and (ii) all accrued interest,
fees and other amounts owing to such Protected Party hereunder, including, without limitation, all
amounts payable by the Borrower to such Protected Party under Article III or Sections
11.05 and 11.06, such Protected Party shall cease to constitute a Protected Party
hereunder; provided that the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
the provisions of Article III and Sections 11.05 and 11.06) shall continue
to govern the rights and obligations of a removed Protected Party with respect to any Loans made or
any other actions taken by such removed Protected Party while it was a Protected Party.
(c) Automatic Termination. The Commitments of the Committed Lenders shall
automatically terminate on the Revolving Termination Date.
(d) Optional Extensions of Commitments.
(i) If the Borrower shall request, by notice to the Agent not less than 30 days prior
to the Revolving Termination Date then in effect, that the Availability Period be extended
until the date which is 364 days after such Revolving Termination Date, then the Agent
shall promptly (but in no event later than 2 days after receipt) notify each Committed
Lender of such request, and each Committed Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Agent
not more than 15 Business Days after the date on which the Agent shall have received the
Borrower’s request (which date shall be set forth in the notice of such request given by
the Agent) of its election so to extend or not extend the Availability Period. Any
Committed Lender which shall not timely notify the Agent of such election shall be deemed
to have elected not to extend such Availability Period.
(ii) If one or more Committed Lenders shall timely notify the Agent pursuant to
clause (d)(i) of this Section 2.08 of its election not to extend the
Availability Period
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
55
or shall be deemed to have elected not to extend the Availability
Period by virtue of having not timely notified the Agent of its election to extend such
Availability Period, then the Agent shall so advise the Borrower and the remaining Lenders,
and the remaining Lenders then maintaining a Commitment or any of them shall have the right
(but not the obligation), upon notice to the Agent not later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the applicable Revolving Termination Date, to increase their
respective Commitments by an amount equal in the aggregate to the Commitments of the
Committed Lenders who have, or have been deemed to
have, elected not to extend the Availability Period. Each Lender electing to increase
its Commitment hereunder shall specify in its notice to the Agent the amount by which it is
willing to increase its Commitment; provided that if the aggregate amount of
proposed increases by all remaining Lenders shall equal or exceed the aggregate Commitments
of those Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the
Availability Period, the amount of any increase in Commitments shall not exceed for any
Lender the product of (A) the quotient of (x) such Lender’s Commitment
divided by (y) the aggregate Commitments of all the remaining Lenders (in each case
determined before giving effect to any increase in the Commitments of the remaining Lenders
pursuant to this subsection (d)) multiplied by (B) the aggregate
Commitments of the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the
Availability Period. Each increase in the Commitment of a Lender hereunder shall be
evidenced by a written instrument executed by such Lender and the Agent and shall take
effect on the Revolving Termination Date in effect for the Lenders who have, or have been
deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period.
(iii) If the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders shall exceed the aggregate amount by
which the remaining Lenders have agreed to increase their Commitments pursuant to
subsection (d)(ii) of this Section 2.08, the Borrower may, with the
approval of the Agent, designate one or more Eligible Assignees willing to extend
Commitments until the date which is 364 days after the Revolving Termination Date in effect
for the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the
Availability Period in an aggregate amount not greater than such excess. Any such Eligible
Assignee shall, on or prior to the Revolving Termination Date in effect for the Lenders who
have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period, execute
and deliver to the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender an instrument, satisfactory to the
Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not to
extend the Availability Period, setting forth the amount of such Eligible Assignee’s
Commitment and containing its agreement to purchase the outstanding principal amount of any
existing Loans with respect to such Lender, along with all accrued interest thereon
(including all Aggregate Default Interest and all accrued interest thereon), and to perform
all the obligations of, such Lender hereunder. The Commitment of such Eligible Assignee
and the obligation to pay the purchase price for such Loans shall become effective, and
such Eligible Assignee shall become a Committed Lender hereunder, on the Revolving
Termination Date then in effect for the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have,
elected not to extend the Availability Period.
Second Amended and Restated

56
(iv) The Borrower shall deliver to each Eligible Assignee (upon request of such
Eligible Assignee), on the Revolving Termination Date in effect for the Lenders who have,
or have been deemed to have, elected not to extend the Availability Period, a Note
evidencing the Borrower’s obligation to pay Loans made by such Eligible Assignee pursuant
to this Agreement.
(v) If, after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments of one or more
remaining Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) above and any assignments to or new
Commitments of one or more Eligible Assignees pursuant to clause (iii) above, the
extension of the Availability Period as provided in this Section 2.08(d) shall not
have been approved by Lenders holding Commitments equal in the aggregate to 100% of the
Committed Amount, then the Availability Period shall not be extended but shall continue in
effect until the Revolving Termination Date and shall then terminate. If Lenders holding
Commitments equal in the aggregate to 100% of the Committed Amount shall have elected to
extend the Availability Period as provided in this Section 2.08(d), then (A) the
Availability Period with respect to the Commitments of such Lenders and any which becomes a
Lender hereunder shall continue until the date which is 364 days after the Revolving
Termination Date in effect prior to such election and, as to such
Lenders, the term “Revolving Termination Date”, as used herein, shall mean such 364th
day; (B) the Commitments of the Lenders who have, or have been deemed to have, elected not
to extend the Availability Period shall continue in effect until the Revolving Termination
Date in effect prior to such extension and shall then terminate, and, as to such Lenders,
the term “Revolving Termination Date”, as used herein, shall continue to mean such
Revolving Termination Date; and (C) on the Revolving Termination Date in effect prior to
such extension, each Lender who has, or has been deemed to have, elected not to extend the
Availability Period shall cease to be a Lender hereunder; provided that the
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article
III and Sections 11.04 and 11.05) shall continue to govern the rights
and obligations of such Lender with respect to any Loans made.
SECTION 2.09 Liquidity Fee. On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall pay to the
Agent (or at the direction of the Agent) for the account of each Committed Lender a fee (the
“Liquidity Fee”) on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the daily average Unused
Committed Amount for the Measuring Period ended most recently prior to such Settlement Date,
computed at a per annum rate for each day at a rate equal to 100 basis points. The Liquidity Fee
shall commence to accrue on the Amendment Closing Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on
each Settlement Date for the Measuring Period ending most recently prior to such date, beginning
with the first of such dates to occur after the Amendment Closing Date.
SECTION 2.10 Pro-rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein,
(including without limitation in Section 2.01 (b)), each Borrowing, each payment or
prepayment of principal of or interest on any Loan, each payment of fees, each reduction of the
Committed Amount and each conversion or continuation of any Loan, shall be allocated
pro-rata among the relevant Lenders in accordance with the respective Commitment
Percentages of such Lenders (or, if the Commitments of such Lenders have expired or been
terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of such
Lenders); provided that, in the event any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.10 is rescinded or must otherwise
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
57
be returned by the Agent, each Lender shall,
upon the request of the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest
for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the Agent until the date the
Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum equal to, during the period to but excluding the
date two Business Days after such request, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter, the Corporate
Base Rate plus two percent per annum.
SECTION 2.11 Sharing of Payments. The Lenders agree among themselves that, except to
the extent otherwise provided herein, if any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan or
any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of
setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of
the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim,
received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or
otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro-rata share of such payment as
provided for in this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly pay in cash or purchase from the other
Lenders a participation in such Loans and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other
adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment
in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Agreement. The Lenders
further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the
exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be
rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such
payment shall, by payment in cash or a repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its
share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect
thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The
Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment,
including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully
as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan or other obligation in the amount of such
participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender
receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 2.11 applies, such
Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a
manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 2.11 to share in the
benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
SECTION 2.12 Payments; Computations; Proceeds of Collateral, Etc.
(a) Payments by the Borrower. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document,
all payments by the Borrower to the Protected Parties pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made
by the Borrower (or by its designee) to the Agent for the pro rata account of the
Protected Parties entitled to receive such payment or, at the direction of the Agent, directly to
such Protected Parties. All payments shall be made without setoff, deduction (except for Taxes
which are expressly addressed in Section 3.01) or counterclaim not later than 11:00 A.M.
New York City time on the date due in Dollars in same day or immediately available funds to such
account or accounts (if payment is to be made directly to the Protected Parties) as the Agent shall
specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be
deemed to have been received by the Agent or a Protected Party, as the case may be, on the next
succeeding Business Day. In the event that a payment is made to Agent for the pro
rata account of the Protected Parties entitled to such payment, the Agent shall promptly
remit in same
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
58
day funds to each Protected Party its share, if any, of such payments received by the
Agent for the account of such Protected Party. Whenever any payment is to be made hereunder or
under any Loan, or whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise occur on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made, and the last day of such Interest Period
shall occur, on the next succeeding Business Day and interest at the Applicable Rate or the
Alternative Rate, as applicable, shall accrue on such amount from the original due date to such
next Business Day; provided, that if such extension would cause the last day of such
Interest Period to occur in a new calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall occur
on the next preceding Business Day.
(b) Distributions by the Agent. Each such distribution by the Agent to such Protected
Party shall be made in accordance with Section 2.07. Upon the request of any Protected
Party, the Agent in its sole discretion may cause to be distributed to such Protected Party on such
due date a corresponding amount with respect to the amount then due such Protected Party. If and
to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent and the Agent
shall have so caused to be distributed to such Protected Party a corresponding amount with respect
to the amount then due such Protected Party, such Protected Party shall repay to the Agent
forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Protected Party together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Protected Party until the date such
Protected Party repays such amount, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three Business Days
after demand by the Agent and at the Applicable Rate or the Alternative Rate, as applicable,
thereafter until the date such Protected Party repays such amount to the Agent.
(c) Computations. All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. Interest shall accrue from
and include the date of borrowing but exclude the date of payment.
SECTION 2.13 Adjustments to Advance Rate and Borrowing Base. The percentages
specified in the definition of “Advance Rate” and “Maximum Advance Rate” may be modified by the
agreement of all of the Lenders; provided that, any increase in such percentage shall be
subject to confirmation by each Rating Agency that such increase will not cause either of such
rating agencies to reduce or withdraw its rating of the Notes and/or Loans and any decrease in such
percentage shall require the agreement of the
Borrower. Any change in any such percentage shall take effect on the next succeeding
Settlement Date or as otherwise agreed by the Borrower and each of the Lenders.
SECTION 2.14 Interest Rate Risk Management. The Borrower agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any Hedging Event, it will enter into an Acceptable Derivatives Agreement in
consultation with the Agent no later than the last day of the Required Time Period, using funds
available under clause (y) of clause fifth of Section 2.07(c)(i),
(ii) or (iii), as applicable.
The Borrower will, to the extent required by any Committed Lender, amend any Acceptable
Derivatives Agreement which is then in effect at any time when there is (i) any increase in the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans or (ii) any change in the contractual payment schedule of
the Loans, so that such Acceptable Derivatives Agreement, as amended,
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
59
would comply with the
definition of “Acceptable Derivatives Agreement” if first entered into on the date of such
amendment.
Amounts received by the Borrower under any Acceptable Derivatives Agreement shall be deposited
into the Collection Account and applied as set forth in Section 2.07(c).
ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
SECTION 3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Net of Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the
account of any Protected Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the
case of each Protected Party, taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise, branch profits,
capital or net worth taxes imposed on it, in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which
such Protected Party is organized or has an office or place of business, other than solely on
account of being a party to, receiving a payment or income under, or enforcing, this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as
“Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Protected
Party, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 3.01) such Protected Party receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions and withholdings, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to
the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law and (iv) the
Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at the Agent’s Office, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or
future stamp or documentary, excise or property taxes or similar levies which arise from any
payment made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of,
or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as
“Other Taxes”).
(c) Additional Taxes. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Protected Party for the
full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by such Protected Party and
any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto.
(d) Tax Forms and Certificates. Each Lender organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, on or prior to the date
of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature
pages
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
60
thereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other
Lender, and from time to time thereafter as required by law on or prior to the expiration of the
form or certificate most recently provided, provide the Borrower and the Agent with true, complete
and correct (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8-BEN or W-8-ECI, as appropriate, or any successor
form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to
benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces to zero the
rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant
to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States or (ii) any other form or certificate required by any United States taxing authority
(including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from tax on payments
pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Additionally, if a Lender or
Protected Party sells, assigns or transfers any participation in a Loan to another Person, such
Lender or Protected Party shall provide any new forms required as a result of such sale or transfer
(including, if necessary, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY).
(e) Failure to Provide Tax Forms and Certificates. For any period with respect to
which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower and the Agent with the appropriate form or
certificate in the manner and as prescribed by Section 3.01(d) (unless such failure is due
to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form
originally was required to be provided), neither such Lender nor any related Protected Party shall
be entitled to indemnification under Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(b) with respect to
Taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision therein as a result of such
failure; provided, however, that should a Protected Party, which is otherwise
exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its
or any related Lender’s failure to deliver a form required to be delivered hereunder, the Borrower
shall take such steps as such Lender or Protected Party shall reasonably request at such Protected
Party’s cost to assist such Protected Party to recover such Taxes.
(f) Obligations in Respect of Non-U.S. Lenders. The Borrower shall not be required to
indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or related Protected Party or to pay any additional amounts to any
Non-U.S. Lender or related Protected Party, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax
pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) above to the extent that the obligation to
withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such
Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on the date
such participant acquired its participation interest) or to the extent such obligation to withhold
amounts with respect to United States federal withholding tax arises after such date as a result of
a change in residence, place of incorporation, principal place of business, or office or location
in which Loans governed by this Agreement are booked or recorded by such Lender or Protected Party;
provided, however, that this subsection (f) shall not apply (i) to any
participant that becomes a participant as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or
designation made at the request of the Borrower or where a change of office or location in which
Loans governed by this Agreement are booked or recorded is made at the request of the Borrower and
(ii) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any participant would be entitled to
receive (without regard to this subsection (f)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or
additional amounts that the Person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such
participant
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
61
would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation,
transfer or designation.
(g) Mitigation. If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the
account of any Protected Party pursuant to this Section 3.01, then such Protected Party
will agree to use reasonable
efforts to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such
change, in the judgment of such Protected Party, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(h) Tax Receipts. Within thirty days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the
Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such
payment (to the extent one is so provided).
(i) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in subsections
(a) through (h) above shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder.
SECTION 3.02 Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of
any Applicable Law, or any change in any Applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any
of its Loans at a rate based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (such event being hereinafter
referred to as an “Illegality Event”) and such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent
shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such
Lender notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, interest on the Loans of such Lender shall accrue and be payable at the Corporate
Base Rate. If an Illegality Event does not affect all Lenders, the Agent shall make a good faith
effort to cause the Lenders that are not affected by such Illegality Event to purchase the Loans
held by the affected Lenders. The foregoing shall not delay or otherwise affect the Borrower’s
obligation to pay interest at the Corporate Base Rate as provided in this paragraph.
SECTION 3.03 Increased Costs and Reduced Return.
(a) If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any Applicable Law or in
the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Protected Party, or compliance by any
Protected Party with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Effective Date
(or, if later, the date on which such Protected Party becomes a Protected Party):
(i) shall subject such Protected Party to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect
to any Loans made by it or its Note or its obligation to make Loans, or change the basis of
taxation of payments to such Protected Party in respect thereof (except for (A) Taxes and
Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and (B) changes in taxes measured
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
62
by or imposed
upon the net income or franchise tax (imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such
Protected Party or any Affiliate thereof);
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for
the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Protected Party which is not otherwise included in the
determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or
(iii) shall impose on such Protected Party any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Protected Party of making,
converting into, continuing or maintaining any Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder
in respect thereof (any such increased cost or reduction hereinafter referred to as an
“Increased Cost”), then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Protected
Party, through the Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such
Protected Party, in accordance with Section 2.07(c), any additional amounts necessary to
compensate such Protected Party on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable
deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such increased cost or reduced
amount receivable.
(b) If any Protected Party shall have determined that the adoption or the becoming effective
of, or any change in, or any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or
administration of, any Applicable Law, regarding capital adequacy, or compliance by such Protected
Party, or its parent corporation, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether
or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Protected Party’s (or parent
corporation’s) capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a
level below that which such Protected Party, or its parent corporation, could have achieved but for
such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Protected
Party’s (or parent corporation’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice
from such Protected Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Protected
Party in accordance with Section 2.07(c), such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Protected Party on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable
deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such reduction. Each
determination by any such Protected Party of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.
(c) A certificate of each Protected Party setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be
necessary to compensate such Protected Party or its holding company as specified in subsection
(a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Protected Party the amount shown as
due on any such certificate delivered by it on the next succeeding Settlement Date in accordance
with Section 2.07(c).
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
63
(d) Promptly after any Protected Party becomes aware of any circumstance that will, in its
sole judgment, result in a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section, such
Protected Party shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure on the part of any Protected Party so
to notify the Borrower or to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts
received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not
constitute a waiver of such Protected Party’s right to demand compensation with respect to such
period or any other period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Protected
Party regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule,
regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.
SECTION 3.04 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall indemnify each Protected Party
against any loss or reasonable expense (but excluding in any event loss of anticipated profit)
which such Protected Party may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower
to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in
Article IV, so long as any such failure is not solely due to the failure of the Agent or
any Lender to comply with its obligations hereunder in all material respects, (ii) any failure by
the Borrower to borrow or to refinance any Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such
Borrowing, or refinancing has been given pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.07, so long
as any such failure is not solely due to the failure of the Agent or any Lender to comply with its
obligations hereunder in all material respects or (iii) any payment or prepayment of a Loan,
whether voluntary or involuntary, pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made
on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, so long as any such
payment, prepayment or conversion is not solely due to the failure of the Agent or any Lender to
comply with its obligations hereunder in all material respects (each such loss or expense, a
“Funding Loss”). Such Funding Losses shall be determined by each Protected Party in its
sole discretion and shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined
by such Protected Party, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid or
not borrowed (based on LIBOR or the CP Rate, in the case of any Conduit Lender designating the CP
Rate for its Loans, or Three-Month LIBOR, in the case of any Committed Lender that has elected the
Alternative Rate for its Loan), for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure
to borrow to the last day of the then applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to
borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have been applicable to such Loan on the date
of such failure to borrow) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such
Protected Party) that would be realized by such Protected Party in reemploying the funds so paid,
prepaid or not borrowed or continued for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. For
the avoidance of doubt, any amounts payable under this Section 3.04 shall be calculated on
the basis of the Committed Lender or the Conduit Lender, as applicable, obtaining funds for its
Loans based on borrowing for a one-month period. A certificate of any Protected Party setting
forth any amount or amounts which such Protected Party is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 3.05 Market Disruption.
(a) If a Market Disruption Event (as defined in subsection (b) of this Section 3.05)
exists with respect to any Loan bearing interest at the Applicable Rate for any day during any
Interest Period (but not a Loan on which interest is based on the CP Rate or the Alternative Rate
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
64
for such Interest Period), then the portion of such Loan held by each Lender for such Interest
Period shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day (excluding the
last day) during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum (in lieu of the
Applicable Rate with respect to such Loan prior to giving effect to such Market Disruption Event)
equal to the sum of:
(1) the Facility Margin; plus
(2) the actual cost of funds of such Lender(s) for such Interest Period;
provided that, if a Market Disruption Event (as defined in subsection (b) of this
Section 3.05) exists and the provisions of this Section 3.05 are applicable,
then each affected Lender shall certify, in a statement provided to the Agent and the
Borrower, its actual costs of funds for such Interest Period; plus
(3) at any time after the Revolving Termination Date, the Step-Up Margin.
(b) For purposes of this Section 3.05, “Market Disruption Event” means, with
respect to any Loan bearing interest at the Applicable Rate for any day during any Interest Period
(but not a Loan on which interest is based on the CP Rate or the Alternative Rate for such Interest
Period), one or more Lenders provide notice to the Agent and the Borrower, not less than three (3)
Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, that, with respect to such
Interest Period, LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to such Lender(s) of maintaining or
funding its Loans for such Interest Period and the actual cost of funds of such Lender(s) for such
Interest Period is greater than LIBOR.
(c) Notwithstanding and in lieu of anything provided herein or in any other Transaction
Document to the contrary, with respect to each Interest Period with respect to which a Market
Disruption Event is applicable, the Borrower shall pay to each affected Lender interest for such Interest
Period at the rate provided in subsection (a) of this Section 3.05.

company”, a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, or an “affiliate” of a “holding company”

Company Act of 1935, as amended.
(c) No director, executive officer or principal holder of any Equity Interest of any Facility

added to the Portfolio on such Funding Date and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection

other Applicable Law dealing with such matters. All payments due from any Facility Party, or for
which any claim may be made against any Facility Party, on account of wages and employee health and
welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the
applicable Facility Party. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents and/or Lease Documents will not give rise to a right of termination or right of
renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which each
Facility Party is a party or by which it (or any predecessor) is bound, other than collective
bargaining agreements which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to any Facility
Party.
SECTION 5.16 Environmental Matters. Each Facility Party has complied in all respects
with all applicable Environmental Laws, except where the failure to comply could not reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Facility
Party has received written notice of any actual or claimed or asserted failure so to comply with
Environmental Laws which alone, or together with any other such liability or notices which have
been previously or concurrently received, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, other than in connection with failures which have been corrected. No hazardous

to use, all of the Trinity Marks, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents,
patent rights, franchises, licenses and other rights that are reasonably necessary for the
operation of its business, without conflict with the rights of any other Person. To the best
knowledge of the Facility Parties, no slogan or other advertising devise, product, process, method,
substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by any Facility
Party infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim or litigation regarding any of
the foregoing is pending or overtly threatened, and no patent, invention, device, application,
principle or any statute, law, rule, regulation, standard or code is pending or, to the knowledge
of any Facility Party, proposed, which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents and Lease Documents, will be Solvent.

Lender by or on behalf of any Facility Party in connection with any Transaction Document

a material fact or omits any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

good faith

88
by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued and as to which adequate reserves have been
established in accordance with GAAP, unless the failure to make any such payment could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 6.06 Insurance; Certain Proceeds. (a) The Borrower will at all times
maintain in full force and effect insurance in such amounts, covering such risk and liabilities and
with such deductibles or self-insurance retentions as are in accordance with normal industry
practice (or as are otherwise required by the Collateral Documents), and in any event in compliance
with the requirements of Schedule 6.06 hereof. Notwithstanding the generality of the
foregoing, (i) with respect to any Portfolio Railcar subject to a Lease, the Borrower agrees that
it (or the Manager acting on its behalf) shall enforce the provisions of the Lease against the
applicable Lessee as to all required insurance pursuant to the terms thereof, (ii) with respect to
any Portfolio Railcar not subject to a Net Lease, in addition to its covenants with respect to the
Collateral described herein and of Schedule 6.06 hereof, the Borrower shall comply with the
provisions of the Management Documents regarding insurance for such Portfolio Railcar, and (iii)
the Borrower shall ensure that at all times insurances against physical damage of the Portfolio
Railcars shall be in effect (which may be accomplished pursuant to a contingent physical damage
policy) in an amount not less than the replacement cost of such Portfolio Railcars, subject to an
aggregate limit of not less than $2,500,000 per occurrence; provided that such coverage may
provide for deductible amounts of not more than $50,000 per occurrence (or $100,000, in the event
that (i) coverage providing for a $50,000 deductible amount is not then available on commercially
reasonable terms or (ii) a deductible amount of $100,000 is then customary in the railcar leasing
industry with respect to such coverage). The Collateral Agent shall be named as loss payee or
mortgagee, as its interest may appear, with respect to all such property and casualty policies and
additional insured with respect to all such other policies (other than workers’ compensation and
employee health policies, if any), and each provider of property damage insurance shall agree, by
endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it or by independent instruments furnished to the
Collateral Agent, (i) that the insurance carrier shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the
Borrower under such policies jointly to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent (which agreement
shall be evidenced by a “standard” or “New York” lender’s loss payable endorsement in the name of
the Collateral Agent), (ii) to waive all claims for insurance premiums against the Collateral Agent
and the Protected Parties, (iii) to provide coverage to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Protected Parties regardless of the breach by the Borrower of any warranty or representation made
therein, (iv) that no such policy is subject to co-insurance, and (v) that it will give the
Collateral Agent thirty days’ prior written notice before any such policy or policies shall be
materially altered, terminated or canceled, and that no act or default of any Facility Party or any
other Person (other than non payment of premiums) shall affect the rights of the Collateral Agent
or the Lenders under such policy or policies. The Borrower assumes all liability and
responsibility in connection with the Portfolio and other property and assets acquired by it and
the liability of the Borrower to pay the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by
reason of the fact that any such property may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason
whatsoever unavailable to the Borrower.
(b) Any cash receipts from a Casualty or Condemnation (whether by way of Casualty Proceeds or
Lessee indemnity payments or otherwise) received by either of the Borrower or the Collateral Agent
shall be deposited into the Modifications and Improvements Account and,
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
89
subject to Section 2.07(c)(iii), applied pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(i) or
Section 2.07(c)(ii), as applicable (except for (i) Excepted Payments, which shall be
payable to the Persons for whose benefit any such payment is made and (ii) in respect of an Event
of Loss, which shall be applied in the same manner as Net Cash Proceeds).
Upon the request of the Collateral Agent from time to time, the Borrower will promptly and
duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents as may be specified in
such request which are reasonably necessary to perfect, preserve or protect the security interests
created or intended to be created for the Replacement Railcars referred to herein, or to establish
that the Borrower has title to such Railcars.
(c) The Borrower shall not operate any Portfolio Railcar or suffer any Portfolio Railcar to be
operated in violation of any provision of any insurance policy in effect with respect to such
Railcar or in any jurisdiction where all of the insurance required hereunder shall not remain in
full force and effect or in violation of any law, treaty, statute, rule, directive, regulation or
order of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Portfolio Railcar or in violation
of any applicable certificate, license or registration relating to such Portfolio Railcar issued by
any such Governmental Authority.
(d) In connection with the covenants set forth in this Section 6.06, it is understood
and agreed that:
(i) none of the Collateral Agent, the Agent, the Lenders or their respective agents or
employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required
to be maintained under this Section 6.06, it being understood that (A) the Borrower
shall look solely to its insurance companies or any other parties other than the aforesaid
parties for the recovery of such loss or damage and (B) such insurance companies shall have
no rights of subrogation against the Collateral Agent, the Agent, the Lenders or their
agents or employees; provided, however, that if the insurance policies do
not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then the
Borrower hereby agrees to waive its right of recovery, if any, against the Collateral
Agent, the Agent, the Lenders and their agents and employees, to the extent permitted by
law;
(ii) the Borrower will permit an insurance consultant retained by the Agent, at the
expense of the Borrower, to review from time to time the insurance policies maintained by
or on behalf of the Borrower annually or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; and
(iii) the Required Lenders shall have the right from time to time to require the
Borrower to keep other insurance in such form and amount as the Agent or the Required
Lenders may reasonably request; provided that such insurance shall be obtainable on
commercially reasonable terms; and provided, further, that the designation
of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by the Agent or the Required Lenders
under this Section 6.06 shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or
advice by the Agent or the Lenders that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the
business of the Borrower or the protection of its properties.

Collateral Agent, or the Agent upon the request and direction of the Required Lenders, as
applicable, shall by written notice to the Borrower take any or all of the following actions
without prejudice to the rights of the Collateral Agent, the Agent or any Lender to enforce its
claims against any of the Trinity Parties except as otherwise specifically provided for herein:
(a) Termination of Commitments. Declare the Commitments terminated whereupon the

of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.
(c) Enforcement of Rights. Enforce any and all rights and interests created and
existing under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, directing the Collateral Agent
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
103
to enforce all rights and remedies existing under the Collateral Documents (including, without
limitation, the seizure and liquidation of any Collateral) and all rights of set-off.
(d) Replacement of TILC as Manager. Remove TILC as Manager and appoint a Back-up
Manager (as such term is defined in the Management Agreement) in accordance with the terms of
Section 8.06 of the Management Agreement.
(e) Payment Notice/Lessor Rights Notice. Deliver the Payment Notice/Lessor Rights

Payment Notice/Lessor Rights Notice to any and all Lessees with respect to any and all of the
Portfolio Leases.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 9.01(g)
shall occur, then the Commitments shall automatically terminate and all Loans, all accrued interest
in respect thereof and all accrued and unpaid fees and other indebtedness or obligations owing to
the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable
without the giving of any notice or other action by the Collateral Agent, the Agent or the Lenders,
which notice or other action is expressly waived by the Borrower.
Upon the exercise of any action pursuant to this Section 9.02 arising from a failure
to make payment when due on any Scheduled Payment Date, the Agent shall as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter notify each Rating Agency of the exercise of such action.
Notwithstanding the fact that enforcement powers reside primarily with the Collateral Agent
and the Agent, each Lender has, to the extent permitted by law, a separate right of payment and
shall be considered a separate “creditor” holding a separate “claim” within the meaning of Section
101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency statute.
In case any one or more of the covenants and/or agreements set forth in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall have been breached by any Facility Party, then the Collateral Agent and
the Agent may proceed to protect and enforce the Lenders’ rights either by suit in equity and/or by
action at law, including an action for damages as a result of any such breach and/or an action for
specific performance of any such covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or such other
Loan Document. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Borrower agrees that failure to comply
with any of the covenants contained herein may cause irreparable harm and that specific performance
shall be available as a remedy in the event of any breach thereof. Each of the Agent and the
Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this paragraph shall be indemnified by the Borrower against all
liability, loss or damage, together with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto
(including reasonable legal and accounting fees and expenses) in accordance with Section
11.05.

the Borrower to comply with its obligation to return such assets to TILC as described in Section
4.11 of the Asset Purchase and Contribution Agreement.

AGENCY PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01 Appointment; Authorization.
(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Credit Suisse, New York
Branch, as Agent of such Lender to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, and
each such Lender hereby authorizes the Agent, as the agent for such Lender, to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such
powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated by the terms hereof and of the other Loan
Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including but not
limited to the appointing of the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not
have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, or shall otherwise exist against the Agent. In performing its functions and duties
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall act solely as an agent of the
Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship
of agency or trust with or for any Facility Party. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing two sentences, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with
reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely
as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Article X
(other than Section 10.09) are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and none
of the Facility Parties nor the Collateral Agent shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary
of the provisions hereof (other than Section 10.09).
(b) [RESERVED].
(c) Collateral Documents. Without limiting the generality of clause (a) of this
Section 10.01, each Lender hereby further authorizes the Agent to appoint Wilmington Trust Company
as Collateral Agent and Depositary to enter into any Collateral Document as secured party on behalf
of and for the benefit of such Lender or otherwise and to require the delivery of any Collateral
Document which the Agent determines is necessary or advisable to protect or perfect the interests
of the Protected Parties in any Collateral and agrees to be bound by the terms of each of the
Collateral Documents. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, but subject to Section 11.08, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have
any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
105
or Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under
the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Agent (or its designee, including the
Collateral Agent and the Depositary) for the benefit of Protected Parties in accordance with the
terms thereof. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent (or, at the Agent’s discretion, its
designee, including the Collateral Agent and the Depositary) (i) to release Collateral as permitted
or required under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents or by Applicable Laws, and agrees that
a certificate or other instrument executed by the Agent or the Collateral Agent evidencing such
release of Collateral shall be conclusive evidence of such release as to any third party, and (ii)
except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 11.03 hereof, to enter into any
amendments or waivers of the Collateral Documents which the Agent determines are necessary or
advisable, including, without limitation, those Collateral Documents the form of which are exhibits
to this Agreement
SECTION 10.02 Delegation of Duties. The Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute
any of their respective duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents,
employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or
experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither the Agent nor the Collateral
Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 10.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent, the Collateral Agent nor
any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action
lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection herewith or in
connection with any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
(except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly
set forth herein) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or participants for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Facility Parties contained
herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial
statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by the
Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan
Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any
failure of any Facility Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or be required to
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions,
provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of
the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to
inspect the properties, books or records of the Facility Parties.
SECTION 10.04 Reliance on Communications. Each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex,
teletype or e-mail message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the
Facility Parties, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct). The Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of
its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent in accordance
with Section 11.06(b).
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
106
Each of the Collateral Agent and the Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan
Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it
deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any
and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. Each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in
accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically provided in
Section 11.03, all the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).
Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless the Required Lenders (or to
the extent specifically provided in Section 11.03, all the Lenders) otherwise determine,
each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall, and in all other instances the Agent and the
Collateral Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or
vote of the Lenders.
SECTION 10.05 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default, Manager Event of Default or Event of Default, except with
respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent
for the accounts of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender, the Manager or
the Borrower referring to this Agreement or the Management Agreement, as applicable, describing
such Default, the Manager Event of Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
“notice of default”. If the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Lenders. Each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take such action with
respect to such Default, Manager Event of Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably
directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the
Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, has received any such direction, the Agent or
the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default, Manager Event of Default or Event of
Default or it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
SECTION 10.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Agent or Collateral
Agent. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor the Collateral Agent has
made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent or Collateral Agent
hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the
affairs of any Facility Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by the Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender as to any matter,
including whether the Agent or Collateral Agent has disclosed material information in its
possession. Each Lender represents to the Agent and Collateral Agent that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation
into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and
creditworthiness of the Facility Parties, and all requirements of Applicable Law, and made its own
decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
107
such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets,
operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of each
Facility Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished
to the Lenders by the Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, neither the Agent nor the Collateral
Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions,
prospects or creditworthiness of any Facility Party or their respective Affiliates which may come
into the possession of the Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.
SECTION 10.07 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated, the Lenders agree, severally but not jointly and subject to the provisions of
Section 11.06(h), to indemnify the Agent and the Collateral Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by
the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to
their respective Commitments (or if the Commitments have expired or been terminated, in accordance
with the respective principal amounts of outstanding Loans of the Lenders), from and against any
and all Indemnified Liabilities which may at any time (including without limitation at any time
following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Agent or the Collateral Agent in each of their respective capacities as such in any way relating to
or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action
taken or omitted by the Agent or Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent or Collateral Agent of any
portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct for purposes of this Section. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent or Collateral
Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
be insufficient or become impaired, each of the Agent or Collateral Agent may call for additional
indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional
indemnity is furnished. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each of
the Agent and Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket
expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by each of the Agent and Collateral
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or
legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent or
Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The
agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Obligations and all other obligations
and amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.08 Agent and Collateral Agent in Their Individual Capacities. The Agent,
the Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for
the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in, and generally engage in any kind
of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting and other business with either Facility Party
as though the Agent or Collateral Agent were not the Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder or under
another Loan Document. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to any such
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
108
activities, the Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Facility Party
or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in
favor of such Facility Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that neither the Agent nor the
Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With
respect to the Loans made by and all obligations owing to it, each of the Agent and the Collateral
Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the
same as though it was not the Agent or Collateral Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall
include the Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in their respective individual
capacities.
SECTION 10.09 Successor Agents. The Agent may, at any time, resign upon 30 days’
written notice to the Lenders. If the Agent resigns under a Loan Document, the Required Lenders
shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Agent, which successor Agent, if other than a
Committed Lender, shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the
existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall
have accepted such appointment prior to the effective date of the resignation of the resigning
Agent, then the resigning Agent shall have the right, after consulting with the Lenders and the
Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent; provided such successor Agent is a Lender hereunder or a
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States and has a combined capital and
surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date
of the resignation of the resigning Agent, the resigning Agent may appoint, after consulting with
the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the
retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Agent, as appropriate,
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 10.09
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an
Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent within 60 days
after the retiring Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless become effective and the Lenders shall perform all duties of the Agent hereunder until
such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.
SECTION 10.10 Request for Documents. Each of the Agent and the Collateral Agent
shall from time to time upon reasonable request therefor furnish each Lender with copies of Funding
Packages, Railcar Documentation, Lease Documents and/or Loan Documents (to the extent such Funding
Packages, Railcar Documentation, Lease Documents and/or Loan Documents are provided by the Borrower
or other third parties, in the form and to the extent provided to the Agent or the Collateral Agent
by the Borrower or such third parties).

originals and shall be binding on all Facility Parties, the Agent and the Lenders. The Agent may
also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original

not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.
(c) [RESERVED].
(d) Reliance by Agent, Collateral Agent and Lenders. The Agent, the Collateral Agent
and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on
behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were
incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein or
(ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The
Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender from all losses, costs,

given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other communications with the
Agent may be recorded by the Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such
recording.
SECTION 11.02 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the
Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or
under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Agent, Collateral Agent or any
Lender and any of the Facility Parties shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power

or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender would
otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Facility Party in any case shall entitle the
Facility Parties to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or
constitute a waiver of the rights of the Agent, Collateral Agent or the Lenders to any other or
further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
SECTION 11.03 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Neither this Agreement nor any other
Loan Document nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or
terminated except, (a) in the case of this Agreement, upon the Agent requesting from each Rating
Agency (if any) a determination whether, as a result of any such amendment (except for changes to
the definition of “Committed Amount,” “Scheduled Payment Date” or the dates on which payments are
due pursuant to Section 2.06, or other changes or agreements in respect of the subject
matter herein which are, in the judgment of the Agent, ministerial or address mechanical matters
not raising any substantive credit-related concerns, including in respect of such repayment and
release matters associated with Asset Dispositions under Section 7.05), it would cause the
rating of the Notes to be reduced or withdrawn, and providing notice of such determination to the
Borrower and each of the Lenders, and (b) in the case of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
pursuant to an agreement or agreements or a consent or consents in writing entered into by the
Borrower, the Manager, to the extent it is a party thereto, the Required Lenders, and the Agent;
provided that the foregoing shall not restrict the ability of the Required Lenders to waive
any Event of Default prior to the time the Agent shall have declared, or the Required Lenders shall
have requested the Agent to declare, the Loans immediately due and payable pursuant to Article
IX; provided, however, that:
(i) no such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the
consent of each Lender affected thereby:
(A) extend the Revolving Termination Date (other than in accordance with the
procedures sets forth in Section 2.08), or the Legal Final Maturity Date or
extend or waive any Scheduled Payment Date or any payment of the Loans due thereon;
provided that this clause (A) shall not restrict the ability of the
Required Lenders to waive any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default the
waiver of which would effectively result in any such extension or waiver), prior to
the time the Agent shall have declared, or the Required Lenders shall have requested
the Agent to declare, the Loans immediately due and payable pursuant to Article
IX;
(B) reduce the rate, or extend the time of payment, of interest (other than as
a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest

of any Lender);

Obligations hereunder (provided that the Collateral Agent may, without
consent from any other Lender, release any Collateral that is sold or transferred by
the Borrower in compliance with Section 7.05);

its rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Loan Documents and the

provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set
forth herein and (ii) the Required Lenders may consent to allow the Borrower to use cash collateral
in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
The various requirements of this Section 11.03 are cumulative. Each Lender and each
holder of a Note shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this
Section 11.03 regardless of whether its Note shall have been marked to make reference
therein, and any consent by any Lender or holder of a Note pursuant to this Section 11.03
shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note from it, whether or not such Note shall have
been so marked.

by the next Settlement Date following demand, all out-of-pocket expenses (including, without
limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the Lenders) incurred by the Agent (and

connection with wire transfers to be made by the Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with

Lessee, interpretation), or waiver under any of the Notes or other Loan Documents and Lease
Documents whether or not such amendment, refinancing, modification, supplement, interpretation or
waiver is obtained or becomes effective, and in connection with the consideration of any potential,
actual or proposed restructuring or workout of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other
Loan Documents.
The Borrower shall pay promptly on demand, but in any event by the next Settlement Date
following demand, (i) all reasonable filing fees and attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the
Collateral Agent, the Agent and the Lenders and all reasonable fees and expenses of special STB or
other collateral or regulatory counsel (and other local counsel reasonably engaged by the

of the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents and Lease Documents from time to time
entered into or reviewed pursuant to this Agreement and all documents related thereto, the search
of railcar conveyance and Lien records, the recordation of documents with the STB or other

Settlement Date following demand, all reasonable out of pocket expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and fees and expenses of any expert witnesses)

protection of the rights of the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders under any of the Loan
Documents and any amendments thereto and waivers thereof and any Manager Event of Default, Default
or Event of Default, including without limitation, the performance by the Agent or the Lenders of
any act any Facility Party has covenanted to do under the Loan Documents and/or the Management
Documents to the extent such Facility Party fails to comply with any such covenant.
The Borrower shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with the Depository Agreement
including, without limitation, all fees (including any annual fee payable to the Depositary
pursuant to the Depository Agreement), expenses and any indemnity payments to the Depositary and
all fees and expenses in creating, maintaining and administrating the Accounts.

amounts on demand of the party entitled thereto.

SECTION 11.05 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated, the Facility Parties, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, save and hold
harmless the Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender, each other Protected Party and their
respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact
(collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against (and without duplication of amounts
payable or the provisions which relate to such payment under the other provisions of the Loan
Documents): (i) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against
any Indemnitee by any Person (other than the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender) relating
directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or
may assert against any Trinity Party, any Affiliate of any Trinity Party or any of their respective
officers or directors; (ii) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that may at
any time (including at any time following repayment of the Obligations and the resignation or
removal of the Agent or the Collateral Agent or the replacement of any Lender) be asserted or
imposed against any Indemnitee, arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, any predecessor
Loan Documents, the Commitments, the use of or contemplated use of the proceeds of any Loan, or the
relationship of any Trinity Party, the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any
Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action
described in clause (i) or (ii) above; (iv) any Loan Document, Lease Document,
other Transaction Document or any document contemplated hereby or thereby and payments made
pursuant hereto or thereto or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or the exercise of
rights and remedies hereunder or thereunder, any breach by any Trinity Party of any Transaction
Document or Lease Document or a Lessee of any Lease Document, (v) any Railcar, any Part or the
Borrower’s acquisition or ownership of, or the selection, design, financing, lease, control,
operation, condition, location, storage, modification, repair, sale, use, maintenance, possession,
registration, delivery, nondelivery, transportation, transfer or disposition of, any Railcar or
Part; (vi) any liability arising under or in respect of any Environmental Law, in each case
relating to any Railcar or the use, operation or ownership thereof, whether by any Trinity Party,
any Lessee or any other Person; (vii) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind, including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by,
imposed on or asserted against such Indemnitee in connection with any investigation or
administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party
thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of any Collateral Document or in any
other way connected with the enforcement of any of the terms of, or the presentation of any rights
under, or in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture, ownership, ordering,
purchasing, delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation, condition,
sale, return or other disposition or use of the Collateral (including, without limitation, intent
or other defects, whether or not discoverable), the violation of any laws of any country, state or
other governmental body or unit, or any tort (including, without limitation, any claims, arising or
imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account of injury to or the death of
any Person (including any Indemnities)), or property damage or contract claim; and (viii) any and
all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, costs or expenses (including
fees and disbursements of counsel) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the
assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of
the preparation of any defense in connection with
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
114
any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, and whether
or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action, or Proceeding (all
the foregoing, collectively; the “Indemnified Liabilities”). THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION
SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES AND COSTS ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN
WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY OR CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY
ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY ANY INDEMNITEE; provided that no Indemnitee
shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim caused by its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct and provided further, that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to
indemnification for any claim arising solely out of (i) the bankruptcy, insolvency or other
financial inability of one or more Lessees to make payments under a related Lease or (ii) the
decline in market value of a Portfolio Railcar, to the extent not attributable to the failure of a
Facility Party to perform an obligation with respect to such Portfolio Railcar under a Transaction
Document. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity
in this Section 11.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Trinity Party, their respective
directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person or any Indemnitee is
otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.
Each Facility Party agrees not to assert any claim against the Agent, the Collateral Agent, any
Lender, any other Protected Party, any of their Affiliates or any of their respective directors,
officers, employees, attorneys, agents and advisers, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan
Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the actual or proposed use of
the proceeds of the Loans. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Facility Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations of
the Facility Parties contained in this Section 11.05 shall survive the repayment of the
Loans and other obligations under the Loan Documents and the termination of the Commitments
hereunder.
The Facility Parties shall, no later than 20 days following demand, reimburse any Indemnitee
for any Indemnified Liability referred to above or, upon request from any Indemnitee, shall pay
such amounts directly. Any payment made to or on behalf of any Indemnitee pursuant to this
Section 11.05 shall be adjusted to such amount as will, after taking into account all Taxes
imposed with respect to the accrual or receipt of such payment (as the same may be increased
pursuant to this sentence), equal the amount of the payment. To the extent that any Facility Party
in fact indemnifies any Indemnitee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.05 (other
than in respect of Taxes), such Facility Party shall be subrogated to such Indemnitee’s rights in
the affected transaction and shall have a right to determine the settlement of claims therein.
If a claim of the type described above is made against an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee has
notice thereof, such Indemnitee shall promptly, upon receiving such notice, give notice of such
claim to the Borrower; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release
any Facility Party from any of its obligations hereunder except if and to the extent that such
failure results in an increase in any Facility Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder. The
Facility Parties shall be entitled, in each case at their sole cost and expense, acting through
counsel reasonably acceptable to the relevant Indemnitee: (i) in any judicial or administrative
proceeding
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
115
that involves solely a claim of the type described above, to assume responsibility for and
control thereof, (ii) in any judicial or administrative proceeding involving a claim of the type
described above and other claims related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than with respect to Taxes), to assume responsibility
for and control of such claim, to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other
claims (and such Indemnitee shall use its best efforts to obtain such severance), and (iii) in any
other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the
control of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no Facility
Party shall be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or
administrative proceedings: (A) while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) if such proceedings will involve any risk of criminal liability or a material risk of the sale,
forfeiture or loss of any part of the Collateral; or (C) to the extent that the Indemnitee has
defenses available to it which are not available to any Trinity Party and allowing such Trinity
Party to assert such defenses will be prejudicial to the interests of such Indemnitee;
provided that the limitation on the Facility Parties’ ability to control such judicial or
administrative proceeding shall apply only to those aspects of such proceeding which address issues
with respect to which such defenses are available.
The relevant Indemnitee shall supply the Borrower with such information reasonably requested
by the Borrower as is necessary or advisable for either Facility Party to control or participate in
any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 11.05. Such Indemnitee shall not
enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any covered claim without the prior
written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be protected with respect to such covered claim.
SECTION 11.06 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided
that no Facility Party may assign or transfer any of its interests and obligations without the
prior written consent of either the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as the terms set forth in
Section 11.03 may require;
(b) Assignments. Any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Loans and its
Commitments); provided, however, that
(i) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee who, unless otherwise
consented to by the Borrower, is not a Competitor of the Borrower;
(ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of an
existing Lender or any Approved Fund (A) the aggregate amount of the Commitment of the
assigning Lender subject to such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not, without
the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, be less than $5,000,000 and an integral multiple
of $1,000,000 (or such other amount as shall equal the
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
116
assigning Lender’s entire Commitment) and (B) after giving effect to such assignment,
unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower, the aggregate amount of the Commitment
and/or Loans of the assigning Lender shall not be less than $2,500,000 (unless the
assigning Lender shall have assigned its entire Commitment and/or the entire balance of the
outstanding Loans);
(iii) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent for its
acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit C, together with any
Note subject to such assignment and a processing fee of $3,500, payable or agreed between
the assigning Lender and the assignee.
(c) Assignment and Acceptance. By executing and delivering an Assignment and
Acceptance in accordance with this Section 11.06, the assigning Lender thereunder and the
assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties
hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of
the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and the assignee warrants
that it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such
assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to
any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, any of
the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto,
or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto or thereto or the financial condition of the Facility Parties or the performance or
observance by any Facility Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any of the other
Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iii) such
assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such assignment
agreement; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such
assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Collateral Agent, such
assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each
of the Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document as are delegated to each of the Agent and the
Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their
terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
required to be performed by it as a Lender. Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such
Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of
such assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and the assigning
Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its
obligations under this Agreement. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this
Section 11.06(c), the assignor, the Agent and the Facility Parties shall make appropriate
arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee. If the
assignee is not a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
117
Code, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent certification as to exemption from
deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 3.01.
(d) Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Agent to serve as the Borrower’s
agent, solely for purposes of this Section 11.06(d), to (i) maintain a register (the
“Register”) on which the Agent will record the Commitments from time to time of each
Lender, the Loans made by each Lender and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the
Loans of each Lender and to (ii) retain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to the
Agent pursuant to this Section. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such
recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation in respect of such Loans. The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and
the Lenders shall treat each Person in whose name a Loan and the Note evidencing the same is
registered as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice or any
provision herein to the contrary. With respect to any Lender, the assignment or other transfer of
the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made
and any Note issued pursuant to this Agreement shall not be effective until such assignment or
other transfer is recorded on the Register and, except to the extent provided in this Section
11.06(d), otherwise complies with Section 11.06, and prior to such recordation all
amounts owing to the transferring Lender with respect to such Commitments, Loans and Notes shall
remain owing to the transferring Lender. The registration of assignment or other transfer of all
or part of any Commitments, Loans and Notes for a Lender shall be recorded by the Agent on the
Register only upon the acceptance by the Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and
Acceptance and payment of the administrative fee referred to in Section 11.06(b)(iii). The
Register shall be available at the offices where kept by the Agent for inspection by the Borrower
and any Lender at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent.
(e) Participations. Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the
Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons in all or a portion of its rights, obligations or
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the
Loans owing to it and any Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the
participant shall be entitled to the benefit of right of setoff contained in Section 11.08
and the yield protection provisions contained in Sections 3.01, 3.03 and
3.04 to the same extent that the Lender from which such participant acquired its
participation would be entitled to the benefits of such yield protections; provided that
the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse any participant pursuant to Sections 3.01,
3.03 or 3.04 in an amount which exceeds the amount that would have been payable
thereunder to such Lender had such Lender not sold such participation and (iv) the Facility
Parties, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Facility Parties relating to
the Obligations owing to such Lender and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing the amount
of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on such Loans or Notes, extending any
scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on such Loans or Notes
or extending its Commitment).
Second Amended and Restated

118
(f) Other Assignments. Any Lender may at any time (i) assign all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement and any Loans or Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank, (ii) pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement
(including all or any portion of its Loans or Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender
and (iii) grant to a Conduit Lender referred to in
subsection (h) below identified as such
in writing from time to time by such Lender to the Agent and the Borrower the option to provide to
the Borrower all or any part of any Loans that such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to
the Borrower pursuant to the Agreement; provided that no such assignment, option, pledge or
security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such Federal Reserve Bank or other person to which such option, pledge or assignment has been made
for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g) Information. Any Lender may furnish any information concerning any Facility Party
in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including
prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section
11.07.
(h) Conduit Lenders, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
any Lender, (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a conduit lender sponsored by such Granting
Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the
Borrower (a “Conduit Lender”) the option to fund all or any part of any Loan that such
Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement; provided
that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any Conduit Lender to fund any Loan and
(ii) if a Conduit Lender elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any
part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to the terms
hereof. The funding of a Loan by a Conduit Lender hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the
Granting Lender to the same extent that, and as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender.
Each party hereto hereby agrees that no Conduit Lender shall be liable for any indemnity or payment
under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the
extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Conduit Lender may disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating
agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee to such Conduit Lender.
This subsection (h) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting
Lender, all or any part of whose Loan is being funded by a Conduit Lender at the time of such
amendment. Credit Suisse, New York Branch hereby designates Alpine Securitization Corp. as a
“Conduit Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and grants to each
such Conduit Lender the option to fund all or any portion of the Loans contemplated to be made
hereunder by Credit Suisse, New York Branch. Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A.,
“Rabobank International”, New York Branch hereby designates Nieuw Amsterdam Receivables Corporation
as a “Conduit Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and grants to
such Conduit Lender the option to fund all or any portion of the Loans contemplated to be made
hereunder by Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., “Rabobank International”, New
York Branch. Xxxxxxx Receivables (No. 3) Limited, which is a Committed Lender, hereby also
designates itself as a “Conduit Lender” (without xxxxxx its rights and obligations as a Committed
Lender hereunder) and thereby exercises the option to fund all or any portion of the Loans
contemplated to be made hereunder in such capacity as a Conduit Lender.

119
SECTION 11.07 Confidentiality. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.06(h), each
of the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its
Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and
other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential); (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the
Agent, the Collateral Agent or Lender, as applicable; (iii) to the extent required by Applicable
Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (iv) to any other party to this
Agreement; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder; (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same
as those of this Section, to (A) any Eligible Assignee of or participant in, or any prospective
Eligible Assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B)
any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual
counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative
transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower or (C) any Support Party or any managing agent
of a Lender that is a commercial paper conduit; (vii) with the written consent of the Borrower;
(viii) to the extent such information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on
a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; or (ix) to the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating
agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio
in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its Affiliates. For the purposes
of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of any
Facility Party relating to any Facility Party or its respective business, other than any such
information that is available to the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by or on behalf of a Facility Party; provided that, in the case
of information received from or on behalf of a Facility Party after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.
SECTION 11.08 Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
Applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is
authorized at any time and from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice
of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), to set-off and to appropriate and
apply any and all deposits (general or specific) and any other indebtedness at any time held or
owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, branches, agencies or Affiliates of such
Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against obligations
and liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder, under the Loans and Notes, under the
other Loan Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether the Agent or the Lenders shall have made
any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be
contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
120
have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge
is made or entered on the books of such Lender subsequent thereto. The Borrower hereby agrees that
to the extent permitted by law any Person purchasing a participation in the Loans and Commitments
hereunder may exercise all rights of set-off with respect to its participation interest as fully as
if such Person were a Lender hereunder and any such set-off shall reduce the amount owed by the
Borrower to the Lender.
SECTION 11.09 Interest Rate Limitation. The Agent, the Lenders and the Facility
Parties and any other parties to the Loan Documents intend to contract in strict compliance with
applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof such Persons stipulate
and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be
construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in
excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by Applicable Law from time to
time in effect. Neither any Facility Party nor any present or future guarantors, endorsers, or
other Persons hereafter becoming liable for payment of any Credit Obligation shall ever be liable
for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the
maximum amount that may be lawfully charged under Applicable Law from time to time in effect, and
the provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of the Loan
Documents which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. The Lenders and the Agent
expressly disavow any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges
in the event the maturity of any Credit Obligation is accelerated. If (i) the maturity of any
Credit Obligation is accelerated for any reason, (ii) any Credit Obligation is prepaid and as a
result any amounts held to constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the legal maximum,
or (iii) any Lender of any other holder of any or all of the Credit Obligations shall otherwise
collect moneys which are determined to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the
interest on any or all of the Credit Obligations to an amount in excess of that permitted to be
charged by Applicable Law then in effect, then all sums determined to constitute interest in excess
of such legal limit shall, without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding
principal of the related Credit Obligations or, at such Lender’s or holder’s option, promptly
returned to the Borrower or the other payor thereof upon such determination. In determining
whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific circumstance, exceeds the maximum
amount permitted under Applicable Law, the Agent, the Lenders and the Facility Parties (and any
other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i) characterize
any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread
the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instruments evidencing
the Credit Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time thereunder and
the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect under Applicable Law in order to
lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under Applicable Law. In the event
Applicable Law provides for an interest ceiling under Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code (the
“Texas Finance Code”) as amended, for that day, the ceiling shall be the “weekly ceiling”
as defined in the Texas Finance Code; provided that if any Applicable Law permits greater
interest, the Law permitting the greatest interest shall apply. As used in this Section
11.09 the term “Applicable Law” includes, without limitation the laws of the State of Texas,
the laws of the State of New York or the laws of the United States of America, whichever laws allow
the greatest interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in
the future.

SECTION 11.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this
Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.
SECTION 11.11 Integration. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control;
provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agent, the
Collateral Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this
Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties
thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance
with the fair meaning thereof.
SECTION 11.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant
hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery
hereof and thereof and any subsequent making or deemed making thereof. Such representations and
warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender,
regardless of any investigation made by the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or on their
behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in
full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or
unsatisfied.
SECTION 11.13 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which any Facility Party is a party that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 11.14 Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are
provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any
provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.15 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or
any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the
Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Agent or the Collateral Agent (or to the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Protected Parties), or the
Agent or the Collateral Agent enforces any security interests or exercises its rights of set-off,
and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to
be
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
122
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or
federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies
therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.
SECTION 11.16 Performance by the Agent. If any Facility Party fails to perform any
of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Management Document in a
timely fashion, the Agent shall be entitled, but not obliged, to perform such obligation at the
expense of the Borrower and without waiving any rights that it may have with respect to such
breach.
SECTION 11.17 Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Protected Party, including without
limitation each Support Party, is an express third party beneficiary hereof.
SECTION 11.18 No Proceedings. (a) Each party hereto hereby agrees that it will not
institute against any Conduit Lender, or join any other Person in instituting against any Conduit
Lender, any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or similar proceeding from the
Closing Date until one year plus one day following the last day on which all commercial
paper notes and other publicly or privately placed indebtedness for borrowed money of such Conduit
Lender together with all related derivative or other hedging obligations shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full.
(b) No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of Conduit Lender as contained in
any Loan Document shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee
or director of the Conduit Lender, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or
equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and
understood that the agreements of each Conduit Lender contained in any Loan Document are solely
corporate obligations of such Conduit Lender and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach
to or be incurred by the incorporators, stockholders, affiliates, officers, employees or directors
of such Conduit Lender, under or by reason of any of the respective obligations, covenants or
agreements of such Conduit Lender contained in any Loan Document, or implied therefrom, and that
any and all personal liability of every such incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer,
employee or director of such Conduit Lender for breaches by such Conduit Lender of any such
obligation, covenant or agreement, which liability may arise either at common law or in equity, by
statute or constitution, or otherwise, is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in
consideration for the execution of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 11.18
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Lender
shall have any obligation to pay any amount required to be paid by it hereunder or thereunder to
any party hereto, in excess of any amount available to such Conduit Lender after paying or making
provision for the payment of its commercial paper notes. All payment obligations of each Conduit
Lender hereunder are contingent upon the availability of funds in excess of the amounts necessary
to pay commercial paper notes; and each of the parties hereto agree that they shall not have a
claim under Section 101(5) of the United States Bankruptcy Code if and to the extent that any such
payment obligation exceeds the amount available to such
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
123
Conduit Lender to pay such amounts after paying or making provision for the payment of its
commercial paper notes and its other publicly or privately placed indebtedness and all related
derivative or other hedging obligations to or on which such Conduit Lender is an express party.
SECTION 11.19 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. Chapter 346 of the Texas
Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving tri-party
accounts) does not apply to this Agreement or to any other Loan Document. Any legal action or
proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts
of the State of New York in New York County, or of the United States for the Southern District of
New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Facility Party hereby irrevocably
accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditional, the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of such courts. Each Facility Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of
any such proceeding brought in such court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(b) [RESERVED].
SECTION 11.20 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY
LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES
HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN
EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR
OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE
OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY
FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE
CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
SECTION 11.21 Binding Effect. This Agreement (as amended on the Amendment Closing
Date) shall become effective at such time when it shall have been executed by the Facility Parties,
the Collateral Agent and the Agent, and the Agent shall have received copies hereof (telefaxed or
otherwise) which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Committed Lender, and thereafter
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Facility Parties, the Agent,
the Collateral Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns. For the
avoidance of doubt, any amendment or amendment and
Second Amended and Restated
Warehouse Loan Agreement
124
restatement of this Agreement is not intended to be and should not be construed as a novation
of any of the obligations of any Facility Party in existence on the date of such amendment or
amendment and restatement.
SECTION 11.22 The Patriot Act. The Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the
Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act and any comparable law applicable to
any Lender, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower,
which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will
allow the Agent and/or any Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
