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

          (d) TILC Seller, or TILC, as “Manager” under the TRLT-II Management Agreement on behalf of TRLT-II Seller, shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort), to the extent that any of the foregoing may be imposed upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against such Indemnified Person due to the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith of Seller in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of Seller’s obligations and duties under this Agreement.
          (e) TILC Seller, or TRLT-II Manager on behalf of TRLT-II Seller, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any costs, expenses, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort), that may be imposed upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against such Indemnified Person, other than Excluded Amounts, as a result of the failure of any Railcar or Lease Conveyed hereunder to comply with all requirements of applicable law as of the Initial Closing Date or other applicable Delivery Date.
          Indemnification under this Section 4.5 shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. The indemnity obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any obligation that any Seller may otherwise have under applicable law or any other Operative Agreement.
