(b) Due Qualification. The Purchaser is duly qualified (except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect) to do business as a foreign limited liability company in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses (except to the extent that such failure to obtain such licenses is inconsequential) and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, licenses and/or approvals.

licenses is inconsequential), approval or authorization or registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, except for such as have been obtained, effected or made.

(e) Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, conservatorship, receivership, liquidation or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

(f) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not and will not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the organizational documents of the Purchaser, or conflict with or breach any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound or to which any of its properties are subject, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument (other than liens created hereunder or under the Indenture), or violate any law or any order, rule or regulation, applicable to the Purchaser or its properties, of any federal or state regulatory body, any court, administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or any of its properties.

(g) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that could have an adverse effect on the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, (iv) that may have an adverse effect on the federal or state income tax attributes of, or seek to impose any excise, franchise, transfer or similar tax upon, the transfer and acquisition of the Railcars and Leases Conveyed hereunder or (v) that could have an adverse effect on the Railcars and Leases Conveyed to the Purchaser hereunder.

(h) Consideration. The Purchaser has given fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the Conveyance of the Railcars, related Leases and Related Assets being Conveyed hereunder.

In the event of any breach of a representation and warranty made by the Purchaser hereunder, each Seller covenants and agrees that such Seller will not take any action to pursue any remedy that it may have hereunder, in law, in equity or otherwise, until a year and a day have passed

since all Outstanding Obligations under all other Operative Agreements have been paid in full. Each Seller and the Purchaser agree that damages will not be an adequate remedy for a breach of this covenant and that this covenant may be specifically enforced by the Purchaser or any third party beneficiary described in Section 6.10.

SECTION 4.5 Indemnification.

(a) TILC Seller, or TRLWT Manager on behalf of TRLWT Seller, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, the Manager, the Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder, each of their respective Affiliates and each of respective directors, officers, employees, successors and permitted assigns, agents and servants of the foregoing (each an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort), that may be imposed upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against any Indemnified Person arising out of or resulting from any breach of Seller’s representations and warranties and covenants contained herein, except (A) those resulting solely from any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the particular Indemnified Person claiming indemnification hereunder, (B) those in respect of taxes that are otherwise addressed by the provisions of (and subject to the limitations of) subsection (c) of this Section 4.5 below, or (C) to the extent that providing such indemnity would constitute recourse for losses due to the uncollectibility of sale proceeds (or any particular amount of sale proceeds) in respect of a Railcar due to a diminution in market value of such Railcar, or of Lease or other third party payments due to the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to pay of the related Lessee or other third party (the “ Excluded Amounts ”).

(b) TILC Seller, or TRLWT Manager on behalf of TRLWT Seller, will defend and indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person against any and all costs, expenses, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort), that may be imposed upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against such Indemnified Person, other than Excluded Amounts, arising out of or resulting from any action taken by Seller, other than in accordance with this Agreement or the Indenture or other applicable Operative Agreement, in respect of any portion of the Railcars, related Leases and Related Assets that are Conveyed hereunder.

(c) TILC Seller, or TRLWT Manager on behalf of TRLWT Seller, agrees to pay, and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against, any taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of an Indemnified Person and taxes that would constitute Excluded Amounts) that may at any time be asserted against any Indemnified Person with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible or intangible personal property, privilege, or license taxes and costs and expenses in defending against the same, arising by reason of the acts to be performed by Seller under this Agreement and imposed against such Person.

TRLWT Seller, shall pay, and otherwise indemnify and hold harmless the applicable Indemnified Person, the Manager and the Indenture Trustee harmless, on an After-Tax Basis, from and against any and all such transfer taxes (it being understood that none of the Purchaser, the Manager, the Indenture Trustee or any other Indemnified Person shall have any contractual obligation to pay such transfer taxes).

(d) TILC Seller, or TILC, as “Manager” under the TRLWT Management Agreement on behalf of TRLWT Seller, shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort), to the extent that any of the foregoing may be imposed upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against such Indemnified Person due to the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of Seller in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of Seller’s obligations and duties under this Agreement.

(e) TILC Seller, or TRLWT Manager on behalf of TRLWT Seller, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, expenses, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort), that may be imposed upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against such Indemnified Person, other than Excluded Amounts, as a result of the failure of any Railcar or Lease Conveyed hereunder to comply with all requirements of applicable law as of the Closing Date or other applicable Delivery Date.

Indemnification under this Section 4.5 shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. The indemnity obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any obligation that any Seller may otherwise have under applicable law or any other Operative Agreement.

SECTION 4.6 Special Indemnification by TILC regarding Exercise of Setoff by Customers. TILC hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and each other Secured Party, that it will, within 45 days after the date on which it has knowledge that any Lessee shall have reduced any payments made by such Lessee under any Lease in the Portfolio as a result of or in connection with any setoff exercised by such Lessee (regardless of whether such Lessee actually has any contractual, statutory or other right to exercise such setoff) with respect to amounts owed or presumed owed to such Lessee pursuant to railcar leases that are not in the Portfolio, and provided that the applicable Lessee shall not have made payments aggregating the full amount payable by such Lessee under the applicable Lease prior to the end of such 30-day period, deposit into the Collections Account an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of such reduction.

Indemnification under this Section 4.6 shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. The indemnity obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any obligation that TILC may otherwise have under applicable law or any other Operative Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser and/or any assignee thereof to prepare and file any such UCC-1 financing statements. From time to time thereafter, Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law (or deemed desirable by the Purchaser or any assignee thereof) to fully perfect, preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser under this Agreement, and the security interest of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, in the Railcars, related Leases and Related Assets that are Conveyed hereunder and in the proceeds thereof. Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as following such filing in accordance herewith. In the event that Seller fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee may perform such obligations, at the expense of Seller, and Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee and grants to the Purchaser and the Indenture Trustee an irrevocable power of attorney to take any and all steps in order to perform such obligations in Seller’s or in its own name, as applicable, and on behalf of Seller, as are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Purchaser or Indenture Trustee or any assignee thereof.

(b) On or prior to Closing Date and any other applicable Delivery Date hereunder, Seller shall take all steps necessary under all applicable law in order to transfer and assign to the Purchaser the Railcars and Leases being Conveyed on such date to the Purchaser so that, upon the Conveyance of such Railcar or Lease from Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof on the applicable Delivery Date, the Purchaser will have acquired good and marketable title to and a valid and perfected ownership interest in such Railcars and Leases, free and clear of any Encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

(c) Seller shall not change its name, identity, jurisdiction of organization or corporate structure in any manner that would or could make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement seriously

misleading within the meaning of § 9-506 of the UCC (or any similar provision of the UCC), unless Seller shall have given the Purchaser, the Manager and the Indenture Trustee at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file and hereby authorize the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee to file appropriate new financing statements or amendments to all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements.

(d) Seller shall give the Purchaser, the Manager and the Indenture Trustee at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any relocation of its jurisdiction of organization if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement. Seller shall at all times maintain its jurisdiction of organization, each office from which it manages or purchases Railcars and Leases and its principal executive office within the United States of America.

SECTION 5.2 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the Conveyances hereunder, Seller will not sell, pledge, assign, transfer or otherwise convey to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Encumbrance on the Railcars and Leases Conveyed hereunder or any interest therein (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and TILC Seller, or TRLWT Manager on behalf of TRLWT Seller, shall defend the right, title, and interest of the Purchaser and the Indenture Trustee in and to such Railcars and Leases against all Encumbrances or claims of Encumbrances of third parties claiming through or under Seller. To the extent that any Railcar or Lease shall at any time secure any debt of the related Lessee to Seller or any of its affiliates, Seller agrees that any security interest in its favor arising from such a provision shall be subordinate to the interest of the Purchaser (and its further assignees) in such Railcars and Leases.
