warranties limited by their terms to a specific date.

          3.2 Due Authorization, No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Borrower and each Material Subsidiary of this Seventh Amendment and the Loan Documents executed
pursuant hereto are within the Borrower’s and each Material Subsidiary’s corporate powers, have
been duly authorized by all necessary action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing
with, any governmental body, agency or official and do not violate or constitute a default under
any provision of applicable law or any material agreement binding upon the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the assets of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except for Permitted Encumbrances.

          3.3 Validity and Binding Effect. This Seventh Amendment constitutes the valid and
binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as (a) the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting
creditor’s rights generally and (b) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by
equitable principles of general application. This Seventh Amendment constitutes the valid and
binding obligations of each Material Subsidiary enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
(a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting

Agreement and after giving effect thereto, TRIP Rail Holdings LLC will be a Subsidiary,
approximately 57% of whose issued and outstanding Equity will be owned by TILC and TRIP Rail
Holdings LLC will be a Nonrecourse Subsidiary and therefore will not be a Material Subsidiary.

     This INDENTURE, dated as of October 25, 2010 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, this “Indenture”), by and between TRINITY RAIL LEASING 2010 LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, as the issuer of the Equipment Notes hereunder (“TRL-2010” or the
“Issuer”), and WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, a Delaware banking corporation, as indenture trustee for
the Equipment Notes (the “Indenture Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee are executing and delivering this Indenture in
order to provide for the issuance by the Issuer of the Equipment Notes, the terms of which shall be
specified in this Indenture; and

     WHEREAS, the obligations of the Issuer under the Equipment Notes issued pursuant to this
Indenture and the other Secured Obligations shall be secured by the Collateral further granted and
described below;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and of other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

GRANTING CLAUSES

     The Issuer hereby pledges, transfers, assigns, and otherwise conveys to the Indenture Trustee
for the benefit and security of the Noteholders and other Secured Parties, and grants to the
Indenture Trustee for the benefit and security of the Noteholders and other Secured Parties a
security interest in and Encumbrance on, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest, whether now
existing or hereafter created or acquired and wherever located, in, to and under the assets and
property described below (collectively, the “Collateral”):

Agreement, Railcars or Leases, including, without limitation, all rights, powers, privileges,
options and other benefits of the Issuer to receive moneys and other property due and to become due

limitation, all rights, powers, privileges, options and other benefits to receive and collect

and other benefits of the Issuer to receive proceeds of any casualty insurance, condemnation
award, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to such Assigned Agreements, Railcars or

by any Person (including any railroads or similar entities) in respect of or attributable to such
Railcars or the use, loss, damage, casualty, condemnation of such Railcars or the Marks associated
therewith, in each case whether arising by contract, operation of law, course of dealing, industry

     (d) all Indenture Accounts and all Investment Property therein (including, without limitation,
all (i) securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, (ii) Security Entitlements, (iii)
Securities Accounts, (iv) commodity contracts and (v) commodity accounts) in which the Issuer has
now, or acquires from time to time hereafter, any right, title or interest in any manner, and the
certificates or instruments, if any, representing or evidencing such investment property, and all
dividends, distributions, return of capital, interest, cash, instruments and other property from
time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or
all of such investment property with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any Permitted
Investments purchased with funds on deposit in any Indenture Accounts, and all income from the
investment of funds therein;

     (e) all insurance policies maintained by the Issuer or for its benefit (including, without

with respect thereto;

     (f) all other Accounts, Chattel Paper, commercial tort claims (as defined in the UCC),
documents (as defined in the UCC), equipment (as defined in the UCC), General Intangibles,
Instruments, inventory (as defined in the UCC), letter-of-credit rights (as defined in the UCC),
and Supporting Obligations; and

     (g) all Proceeds, accessions, profits, products, income benefits, substitutions and
replacements, whether voluntary or involuntary, of and to any of the property of the Issuer
described in the preceding clauses (including, without limitation, the Issuer’s claims for
indemnity thereunder and payments with respect thereto).

Such Security Interests are made in trust and subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture
as collateral security for the payment and performance in full by the Issuer of all Outstanding
Obligations and for the prompt payment in full by the Issuer of the respective amounts due and the
prompt performance in full by the Issuer of all of its other obligations, in each case, under the

2

 

Issuer Documents, the Equipment Notes and the Operative Agreements to which the Issuer is a party
(collectively, the “Secured Obligations”), all as provided in this Indenture.

     For avoidance of doubt it is expressly understood and agreed that, to the extent the UCC is
revised subsequent to the date hereof such that the definition of any of the foregoing terms
included in the description of Collateral is changed, the parties hereto desire that any property
which is included in such changed definitions which would not otherwise be included in the
foregoing grant on the date hereof be included in such grant immediately upon the effective date of
such revision.

     The Indenture Trustee acknowledges such Security Interests, accepts the duties created hereby
in accordance with the provisions hereof and agrees to hold and administer all Collateral for the
use and benefit of all present and future Secured Parties.

     The Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes the Indenture Trustee at any time, and from time to
time, to file, without the signature of the Issuer, in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction
necessary or desirable to perfect the Security Interests granted herein, any initial financing
statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that (i) indicate or describe the
Collateral regardless of whether any particular asset constituting Collateral falls within the
scope of Article 9 of the UCC in the same manner as described herein or in any other manner as the
Indenture Trustee may determine in its sole discretion is necessary or desirable to ensure the
perfection of the Security Interests granted herein, or (ii) provide any other information required
by Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement,
continuation statement or amendment, including whether the Issuer is an organization, the type of
organization and any organization identification number issued to the Issuer. The Issuer agrees to
furnish the information described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence to the Indenture Trustee
promptly upon the Indenture Trustee’s request. Nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to create
an obligation of the Indenture Trustee to file any financing statement, continuation statements or
amendment thereto.

     Priority. The Issuer intends the Security Interests in favor of the Indenture Trustee
to be prior to all other Encumbrances in respect of the Collateral, and the Issuer has taken and
shall take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, in favor of the
Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders and other Secured Parties, a first priority,
perfected security interest in the Collateral, to the extent that perfection can be achieved by the
filing of a UCC-1 financing statement in any UCC jurisdiction and/or other similar filings with the
STB. With respect to Leases related to Portfolio Railcars where the Lessee thereunder is a
Canadian resident, the Issuer has taken and shall take or cause to be taken all actions necessary
or advisable to obtain and maintain, in favor of the Indenture Trustee, a first priority, perfected
security interest in the related Railcars including, without limitation, making all such filings,
registrations and recordings with the Registrar General of Canada as are necessary or advisable to
obtain and maintain a first priority, perfected security interest in such Railcars and taking any
actions that may be required by clause (C) of Section 2.2(e) of the Management Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be required to make any filings, registrations
or recordation in Mexico. The Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights, remedies and
recourses with respect to the Collateral afforded a secured party under all applicable law in
addition to, and not in limitation of, the other rights, remedies and recourses granted to the

3

 

Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or any law relating to the creation and perfection of
security interests in the Collateral.

     Continuance of Security.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided under “Releases” below, the Security Interests created under
this Indenture shall remain in force as continuing security to the Indenture Trustee, for the
benefit of the Noteholders and other Secured Parties, until the repayment and performance in full
of all Secured Obligations, notwithstanding any intermediate payment or satisfaction of any part of
the Secured Obligations or any settlement of account or any other act, event or matter whatsoever,
and shall secure Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the ultimate balance of the
moneys and liabilities hereby secured.

     (b) No assurance, security or payment which may be avoided or adjusted under the law,
including under any enactment relating to bankruptcy or insolvency and no release, settlement or
discharge given or made by the Indenture Trustee on the faith of any such assurance, security or
payment, shall prejudice or affect the right of the Indenture Trustee to recover the Secured
Obligations from the Issuer (including any moneys which it may be compelled to pay or refund under
the provisions of any applicable insolvency legislation of any applicable jurisdiction and any
costs payable by it pursuant to or otherwise incurred in connection therewith) or to enforce the
Security Interests granted under this Indenture to the full extent of the Secured Obligations and
accordingly, if any release, settlement or discharge is or has been given hereunder and there is
subsequently any such avoidance or adjustment under the law, it is expressly acknowledged and
agreed that such release, settlement or discharge shall be void and of no effect whatsoever.

     (c) If the Indenture Trustee shall have grounds in its absolute discretion acting in good
faith for believing that the Issuer may be insolvent pursuant to the provisions of any applicable
insolvency legislation in any relevant jurisdiction as at the date of any payment made by the
Issuer to the Indenture Trustee (provided that the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to inquire
or investigate and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of same absent written notice received by
a responsible officer of the Indenture Trustee), the Indenture Trustee shall retain the Security
Interests contained in or created pursuant to this Indenture until the expiration of a period of
one month plus such statutory period within which any assurance, security, guarantee or payment can
be avoided or invalidated after the payment and discharge in full of all Secured Obligations
notwithstanding any release, settlement, discharge or arrangement which may be given or made by the
Indenture Trustee on, or as a consequence of, such payment or discharge of liability, provided
that, if at any time within such period, the Issuer shall commence a voluntary winding-up or other
voluntary case or other proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or insolvency
law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction seeking liquidation, reorganization
or other relief with respect to the Issuer or the Issuer’s debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of
an administrator, a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the
Issuer or any substantial part of its property or if the Issuer shall consent to any such relief or
to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other
proceeding commenced against the Issuer, or making a general assignment for the benefit of any
creditor of the Issuer under any bankruptcy, reorganization,

4

 

liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction, the
Indenture Trustee shall continue to retain such Security Interest for such further period as the
Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine on advice of counsel and such Security Interest shall be
deemed to have continued to have been held as security for the payment and discharge to the
Indenture Trustee of all Secured Obligations.

     No Transfer of Duties. The Security Interests granted hereby are granted as security
only and shall not (i) transfer or in any way affect or modify, or relieve the Issuer from, any
obligation to perform or satisfy any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or
satisfied by the Issuer under or in connection with this Indenture or any Issuer Document or any
Collateral or (ii) impose any obligation on any of the Secured Parties or the Indenture Trustee to
perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement or impose any liability on any
of the Secured Parties or the Indenture Trustee for any act or omission on the part of the Issuer
relative thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Issuer
contained therein or made in connection therewith unless otherwise expressly provided therein.

     Collateral.

     (a) Generally. On the Closing Date, all Instruments, Chattel Paper, Securities or
other documents, including, without limitation, any Chattel Paper Originals evidencing the initial
Leases described on Schedule 3 hereto and SUBI Certificates, representing or evidencing Collateral
shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured
Parties pursuant hereto all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee.
Subject to subsections (c) and (d) under this heading, until the termination of the Security
Interest granted hereby, if the Issuer shall acquire (by purchase, contribution, substitution,
replacement or otherwise) any additional Collateral evidenced by Instruments or Chattel Paper at
any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Issuer shall promptly pledge and deposit
the Collateral so evidenced as security for the Secured Obligations with the Indenture Trustee and
deliver same to the custodial possession of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall
accept under this Indenture such delivery.

     (b) Safekeeping. The Indenture Trustee agrees to maintain the Collateral received by
it (including possession of the Chattel Paper Originals) and all records and documents relating
thereto at such address or addresses as may from time to time be specified by the Indenture Trustee
in writing to each Secured Party and the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall keep all Collateral
and related documentation in its possession separate and apart from all other property that it is
holding in its possession and from its own general assets and shall maintain accurate records
pertaining to the Permitted Investments and Indenture Accounts included in the Collateral in such a
manner as shall enable the Indenture Trustee, the Secured Parties and the Issuer to verify the
accuracy of such record keeping. The Indenture Trustee’s books and records shall at all times show
that to the extent that any Collateral is held by the Indenture Trustee such Collateral shall be
held as agent of and custodian for the Secured Parties and is not the property of the Indenture
Trustee. The Indenture Trustee will promptly report to each Secured Party and the Issuer any
failure on its part to hold the Collateral as provided in this subsection and will promptly take
appropriate action to remedy any such failure.

5

 

     (c) Limitations on Common Schedules and Riders. On and after the date hereof, the
Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Portfolio Railcars which are subject
to a Lease (or become subject to a Lease pursuant to the exercise of any replacement, substitution
or remarketing rights of the Issuer under the Operative Agreements) to be identified in separate
executed Schedules or Riders to the related “master lease agreement” with the applicable Lessee
such that only Portfolio Railcars are identified on the applicable Schedules or Riders and no
railcars are identified thereon which are owned by any Person other than the Issuer (such other
party, a “Non-Indenture Party”); provided, however, that to the extent the separateness of such
Schedule or Rider cannot be maintained, (i) in no event shall the percentage of Portfolio Railcars
in the aggregate (measured by Adjusted Value) contained on Schedules or Riders which also include
railcars owned by a Non-Indenture Party exceed 20% of the Portfolio Railcars in the aggregate
(measured by Adjusted Value) and (ii) in all cases in which Schedules or Riders contain Portfolio
Railcars together with other railcars owned by a Non-Indenture Party, the applicable Lessee(s)
shall have agreed, if requested by the Indenture Trustee acting at the Direction of the Requisite
Majority (which request may only be made in connection with the exercise of remedies against such
Portfolio Railcars), to re-execute one or more separate Schedules or Riders for such Portfolio
Railcars and other applicable railcars such that the Schedules and Riders identifying the Portfolio
Railcars do not identify any railcars other than such Portfolio Railcars.

     (d) Custody of Leases. Upon the written request of the Issuer, in the event that the
separateness of Schedules or Riders cannot be maintained as aforesaid, the parties hereto agree to
implement a custodial arrangement with respect to Leases related to Portfolio Railcars whereby
Wilmington Trust Company, as custodian (or any other financial institution or trust company
reasonably satisfactory to the parties hereto) will maintain custody of the original of such Leases
(including all such non-separate Schedules and Riders) for the benefit of the Secured Parties and
any Non-Indenture Party with an interest therein, as their interests may appear. Such custodial
arrangement will be evidenced by a custodial agreement to contain terms and conditions reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.

     (e) Notifications. The Indenture Trustee at the expense of the Issuer shall promptly
forward to the Issuer and the Manager a copy of each notice, request, report, or other document
relating to any Issuer Document included in the Collateral that is received by a Responsible
Officer of the Indenture Trustee from any Person other than the Issuer or the Manager on and after
the Closing Date.

     Releases. If at any time all or any part of the Collateral is to be sold,
transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or any Person
on its or their behalf (but in any such case only as required or permitted by the Operative
Agreements), the Indenture Trustee upon receipt of written notice from the Issuer, which notice
shall be delivered at least five (5) Business Days prior to such sale, transfer, assignment or
disposal, on or prior to the date of such sale, transfer, assignment or disposal (but not to be
effective until the date of such sale, transfer, assignment or disposal) (or, in the case of a
Lessee’s exercise of a purchase option, on, immediately prior to or after the date of such
purchase, as may be requested by the Issuer), at the expense of the Issuer, execute such
instruments of release prepared by the Issuer, in recordable form, if necessary, in favor of the
Issuer or any other Person as the Issuer may reasonably request, deliver the relevant part of the
Collateral in its possession to the Issuer,

6

 

otherwise release the Security Interest evidenced by this Indenture on such Collateral and
release and deliver such Collateral to the Issuer and issue confirmation, to the relevant
purchaser, transferee, assignee, insurer, and such other Persons as the Issuer may direct, upon
being requested to do so by the Issuer, that the relevant Collateral is no longer subject to the
Security Interests. Any such release to the Issuer shall be deemed to release or reassign as
appropriate in respect of the Collateral such grants and assignments arising hereunder.

     At the request of the Issuer, upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, including,
without limitation, the payment in full in cash of all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on
the Equipment Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall release the Security Interests in the Portfolio
and the other Collateral hereunder. In connection therewith, the Indenture Trustee agrees, at the
expense of the Issuer and without the necessity of any consent from any Secured Party, to execute
such instruments of release, in recordable form if necessary, in favor of the Issuer as the Issuer
may reasonably request in respect of the release of such Portfolio and other Collateral from the
Security Interests, and to otherwise release the security interests evidenced by this Indenture in
and with respect to such Collateral to the Issuer and to issue confirmation to such Persons as the
Issuer may direct, upon being requested to do so by the Issuer, that such Collateral is no longer
subject to the Security Interests.

     No release of any Collateral shall be effected by any Optional Redemption by the Issuer of the
Equipment Notes in part and not in whole.

     Exercise of the Issuer’s Rights Concerning the Management Agreement. The Issuer
hereby agrees that, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so long as
this Indenture has not been terminated and the Security Interests on the Collateral released, the
Indenture Trustee (acting at the Direction of the Requisite Majority) shall have the exclusive
right to exercise and enforce all of the rights of the Issuer set forth in Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.5
(other than the right to propose the list of replacement managers pursuant to Section 8.5(b)) and
8.6 of the Management Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights to deliver all notices,
declare a Manager Termination Event, terminate the Management Agreement, elect to replace the
Manager and/or elect to appoint a Successor Manager and select any replacement Manager, and the
right to increase the Management Fee and/or add an incentive fee payable to any such Successor
Manager); provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer
shall retain the non-exclusive right to approve the list of proposed replacement Managers (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and to deliver notices under Section 8.2 of
the Management Agreement and declare a Manager Termination Event thereunder. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the Indenture Trustee as its attorney-in-fact to
exercise all rights described in this Granting Clause provision in its place and stead.

judicial proceeding described or referred to in this Indenture.

          (j) Where any payment is to be made, funds applied or any calculation is to be made hereunder
on a day which is not a Business Day, unless any Operative Agreement otherwise provides, such
payment shall be made, funds applied and calculation made on the next succeeding Business Day, and
payments shall be adjusted accordingly.

          (k) For purposes of determining the balance of amounts credited to and/or deposited in an
Indenture Account, the “value” of Permitted Investments deposited in and/or credited to an
Indenture Account shall be the lower of the acquisition cost thereof and the then fair market value
thereof and the “value” of Dollars and cash equivalents of Dollars (other than cash equivalents of
Dollars included in the definition of Permitted Investments) shall be the face value thereof.

     Section 1.03 Compliance Certificates and Opinions. Upon any application or request by
the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the
Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that, in the opinion
of the signers thereof, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating
to the proposed action have been complied with, and, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent, if
any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to
which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture
relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

     Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided
for in this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto shall include:

          (a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such
covenant or condition and the definitions in this Indenture relating thereto;

          (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon
which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

          (c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he has made such examination or
investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not
such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

          (d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or
covenant has been complied with.

     Section 1.04 Acts of Noteholders.

          (a) Any direction, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture in respect of
the Equipment Notes or the Collateral to be given or taken by the Indenture Trustee at the
Direction of Noteholders or any Requisite Majority thereof may be embodied in and evidenced by one
or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders (or Noteholders
evidencing a Requisite Majority, as applicable) in person or by an agent or proxy duly appointed in
writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective
when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, to the Rating Agency
where it is hereby expressly required pursuant to this Indenture and to the Issuer. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders or Requisite Majority thereof signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a

9

 

writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose under this Indenture and
conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this
Section.

          (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to
take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the Person executing such instrument
acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn
to before any such notary or such other officer and where such execution is by an officer of a
corporation or association, trustee of a trust or member of a partnership, on behalf of such
corporation, association, trust or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other
reasonable manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

          (c) In determining whether Noteholders or any Requisite Majority thereof shall have given any
direction, consent, request, demand, authorization, notice, waiver or other Act (any of the
foregoing may be referred to as a “Direction”) under this Indenture (including without limitation
any consent pursuant to Sections 4.04 or 9.02(a) hereof), Equipment Notes legally or beneficially
owned by any Issuer Group Member shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for purposes
of any such determination. In determining whether the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in
relying upon any such Direction, only Equipment Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
any such Persons legally or beneficially own 100% of the Equipment Notes then Outstanding then such
Equipment Notes shall not be so disregarded as aforesaid.

          (d) The Issuer may at its option, by delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture
Trustee, set a record date other than the Record Date to determine the Noteholders in respect of
the Equipment Notes entitled to give any Direction in respect of such Equipment Notes. Such record
date shall be the record date specified in such Officer’s Certificate which shall be a date not
more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Noteholders in connection therewith. If such
a record date is fixed, such Direction may be given before or after such record date, but only the
Noteholders of record of the Equipment Notes at the close of business on such record date shall be
deemed to be Noteholders for the purposes of determining whether Noteholders of the requisite
proportion of Outstanding Equipment Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such Direction,
and for that purpose the Outstanding Equipment Notes shall be computed as of such record date;
provided that no such Direction by the Noteholders on such record date shall be deemed effective
unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than one
year after the record date.

          (e) Any Direction or other action by a Noteholder or a Requisite Majority thereof shall bind
the Holder of every Equipment Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Equipment Note.

ARTICLE II

THE EQUIPMENT NOTES

     Section 2.01 Authorization, Issuance and Authentication of the Equipment Notes; Amount of
Outstanding Principal Balance; Terms; Form; Execution and Delivery.

          (a) There is hereby created a series of Equipment Notes designated as set forth in the
definition of the term Equipment Notes herein. The aggregate principal balance of the Equipment
Notes as of their date of issuance on the Closing Date is $369,214,928. Each Equipment Note will
rank pari passu with each other Equipment Note. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of
the Equipment Notes will accrue during each Interest Accrual Period and will be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest will be due and payable on
the Equipment Notes on each Payment Date for the related Interest Accrual Period. Interest will
accrue on the Notes at the Stated Rate. The outstanding principal balance of, and accrued and
unpaid interest on, the Equipment Notes will be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.

          (b) The Equipment Notes to be issued on the Closing Date shall be executed by the Issuer and
delivered to the Indenture Trustee for authentication and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver the Equipment Notes upon the Issuer’s request and direction set forth in an Officer’s
Certificate of the Issuer signed by one of its authorized signatories, without further action on
the part of the Issuer. Any such authentication may be made on separate counterparts and by
facsimile.

          (c) There shall be issued, delivered and authenticated on the Closing Date to each of the
Noteholders identified on such Equipment Notes, Equipment Notes in the principal amounts and
maturities and bearing interest at the Stated Rate, in each case in registered form and
substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit A, with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have
such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements printed,
lithographed, typewritten or engraved thereon, as may be required to comply with the rules of any
securities exchange on which such Equipment Notes may be listed or to conform to any usage in
respect thereof, or as may, consistently herewith, be prescribed by the Indenture Trustee executing
such Equipment Notes, such determination by said Indenture Trustee to be evidenced by its
authentication of such Equipment Notes. Definitive Notes shall be printed, lithographed,
typewritten or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any
other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Equipment Notes may be
listed, all as determined by the Indenture Trustee authenticating such Equipment Notes, as
evidenced by such authentication.

          (i) Equipment Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by a single
permanent 144A Book-Entry Note which will be deposited with DTC or its custodian, the
Indenture Trustee or an agent of the Indenture Trustee and registered in the name of Cede as
nominee of DTC.

11

 

          (ii) Equipment Notes offered and sold outside of the United States in reliance on
Regulation S shall be represented by a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note, which will be
deposited with the Indenture Trustee or an agent of the Indenture Trustee as custodian for
and registered in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC. Beneficial interests in each
Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream;
provided, however, that such interests may be exchanged for interests in a 144A Book-Entry
Note or a Definitive Note in accordance with the certification requirements described in
Section 2.07 hereof.

          (iii) A beneficial owner of an interest in a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note may
receive payments in respect of such Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Notes only after
delivery to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, of a written certification
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B-1 to this Indenture, and upon delivery by
Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar of
a certification or certifications substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B-2 to this
Indenture. The delivery by a beneficial owner of the certification referred to above shall
constitute its irrevocable instruction to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to
arrange for the exchange of the beneficial owner’s interest in the Regulation S Temporary
Book-Entry Note for a beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note after the
Exchange Date in accordance with the paragraph below.

          (iv) Not earlier than the Exchange Date, interests in each Regulation S Temporary
Book-Entry Note will be exchangeable for interests in the related permanent global note (an
“Unrestricted Book-Entry Note”). Each Unrestricted Book-Entry Note will be deposited with
the Indenture Trustee and registered in the name of Cede as nominee of DTC. After (1) the
Exchange Date and (2) receipt by the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar of written
instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, directing the Indenture
Trustee and Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to either Euroclear’s or
Clearstream’s, as the case may be, depositary account a beneficial interest in the
Unrestricted Book-Entry Note in a principal amount not greater than that of the beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note, the Indenture Trustee and Note
Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary
Book-Entry Note and increase the principal amount of the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note, in
each case by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary
Book-Entry Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account
of a Direct Participant a beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note having a
principal amount equal to the reduction in the principal amount of such Regulation S
Temporary Book-Entry Note.

          (v) Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary
Book-Entry Note for beneficial interests in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note, the Indenture
Trustee shall cancel the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note in accordance with the
Indenture Trustee’s policies in effect from time to time.

12

 

          (vi) No interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Notes may be held by or transferred to
a United States Person except for exchanges for a beneficial interest in a 144A Book-Entry
Note or a Definitive Note as described below.

          (d) The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile
signature of an Authorized Representative of the Issuer.

          (e) Each Equipment Note bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of any individual who was
at the time such Equipment Note was executed an Authorized Representative of the Issuer shall bind
the Issuer, notwithstanding that any such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes or any payment thereon.

          (f) No Equipment Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless it shall have been executed on behalf of the Issuer as provided
in clause (b) and (e) above and authenticated by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee as provided
in clause (b) above. Such signatures shall be conclusive evidence that such Equipment Note has
been duly executed and authenticated under this Indenture. Each Equipment Note shall be dated the
date of its authentication.

     Section 2.02 Restrictive Legends. Except as specified in Section 2.11(g) hereof, each
144A Book-Entry Note, each Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note, each Unrestricted Book-Entry
Note and each Definitive Note (and all Equipment Notes issued in exchange therefor or upon
registration of transfer or substitution thereof) shall bear the following legend on the face
thereof:

COMPLYING WITH OR EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT (SUBJECT
IN THE CASE OF THIS CLAUSE (4) TO RECEIPT OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL AND SUCH CERTIFICATES AND
OTHER DOCUMENTS AS THE TRUSTEE MAY REQUIRE UNDER THE INDENTURE), IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION. THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH

     BY ITS PURCHASE OF ANY NOTE, THE PURCHASER THEREOF WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED

INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”) OR AN ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS
INCLUDE “PLAN ASSETS” BY REASON OF AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN’S OR OTHER PLAN’S INVESTMENT IN
SUCH ENTITY, OR (B) ITS PURCHASE AND HOLDING OF SUCH NOTE WILL NOT RESULT IN A NON-EXEMPT
PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE (OR, IN THE

     Section 2.03 Note Registrar and Paying Agent.

          (a) With respect to the Equipment Notes, there shall at all times be maintained an office or
agency in the location set forth in Section 13.04 hereof where Equipment Notes may be presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (each, a “Note Registrar”), and for
payment thereof (each, a “Paying Agent”) and where notices to or demands upon the Issuer in respect
of such Equipment Notes may be served. For so long as the Equipment Notes are listed on any stock
exchange, the Issuer shall appoint and maintain a Paying Agent and a Note Registrar in the
jurisdiction in which such stock exchange is located. The Issuer shall cause each Note Registrar
to keep a register of the Equipment Notes for which it is acting as Note Registrar and of their
transfer and exchange (the “Register”). Written notice of the location of each such other office
or agency and of any change of location thereof shall be given by the Indenture Trustee to the
Issuer and the Holders of the Equipment Notes. In the event that no such office or agency shall be
maintained or no such notice of location or of change of location shall be given, presentations and
demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture
Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and
the Noteholders shall treat each Person in whose name an Equipment Note is registered as the
beneficial owner thereof for all purposes of this Indenture. No transfer of an Equipment Note
shall be effective unless such transfer has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
Section.

          (b) Each Authorized Agent in the location set forth in Section 13.04 shall be a bank or trust
company, shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or
any state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus
of at least $75,000,000 (or having a combined capital and surplus in excess of $5,000,000 and the
obligations of which, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred, are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any
state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia and having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $75,000,000) and shall be authorized under the laws of the United States or any state
or territory thereof to exercise corporate trust powers, subject to supervision by Federal or state
authorities (such requirements, the “Eligibility Requirements”). The Indenture Trustee shall
initially be a Paying Agent and Note Registrar hereunder with respect to the Equipment Notes. Each
Note Registrar other than the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee, at stated
intervals of not more than six months, and at such other times as the Indenture Trustee may request
in writing, a copy of the Register maintained by such Note Registrar.

          (c) Any corporation into which any Authorized Agent may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion
to which any Authorized Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate
trust business of any Authorized Agent, shall be the successor of such Authorized Agent hereunder,
if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authorized Agent
or such successor corporation.

15

 

          (d) Any Authorized Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the
Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. The Issuer may, and at the request of the Indenture Trustee
shall, at any time terminate the agency of any Authorized Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authorized Agent and to the Indenture Trustee. Upon the resignation or
termination of an Authorized Agent or if at any time any such Authorized Agent shall cease to be
eligible under this Section (when, in either case, no other Authorized Agent performing the
functions of such Authorized Agent shall have been appointed by the Indenture Trustee), the Issuer
shall promptly appoint one or more qualified successor Authorized Agents to perform the functions
of the Authorized Agent that has resigned or whose agency has been terminated or who shall have
ceased to be eligible under this Section. The Issuer shall give written notice of any such
appointment made by it to the Indenture Trustee; and in each case the Indenture Trustee shall mail
notice of such appointment to all Holders of the Equipment Notes as their names and addresses
appear on the Register for the Equipment Notes.

          (e) The Issuer agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, from time to time reasonable compensation
to each Authorized Agent for its services and to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses to be
agreed to pursuant to separate agreements with each such Authorized Agent.

     Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Indenture Trustee shall require
each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to agree in writing that all moneys deposited
with any Paying Agent for the purpose of any payment on the Equipment Notes shall be deposited and
held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such payment, subject to the provisions of
this Section. Moneys so deposited and held in trust shall constitute a separate trust fund for the
benefit of the Holders with respect to which such money was deposited.

     The Indenture Trustee may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, direct any Paying Agent to pay to the
Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying
Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such moneys.

     Section 2.05 Method of Payment.

          (a) On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall, or shall instruct a Paying Agent to,
pay to the Noteholders of the Equipment Notes all interest, principal and premium, if any, on the
Equipment Notes required to be paid on such Payment Date, in each case to the extent of the
Available Collections Amount and pursuant to the Flow of Funds; provided, that in the event and to
the extent receipt of any payment is not confirmed by the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent by
noon (New York City time) on such Payment Date or any Business Day thereafter, distribution thereof
shall be made on the Business Day following the Business Day such payment is received; and provided
further, that payment on a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note shall be made to the Holder
thereof only in conformity with Section 2.05(c) hereof. Each such payment on any Payment Date
other than the final payment with respect to the Equipment Notes shall be made by the Indenture
Trustee or Paying Agent to the Noteholders as of the Record Date for such Payment Date. The final
payment with respect to any Equipment Note, however, shall be made only upon presentation and
surrender of such Equipment Note by the Noteholder or its agent at the Corporate Trust Office or
agency of the

16

 

Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice given by the Indenture Trustee or
Paying Agent with respect to such final payment.

          (b) At such time, if any, as the Equipment Notes are issued in the form of Definitive Notes,
payments on a Payment Date shall be made by check mailed to each Noteholder of a Definitive Note on
the applicable Record Date at its address appearing on the Register maintained with respect to the
Equipment Notes. Alternatively, upon application in writing to the Indenture Trustee, not later
than the applicable Record Date, by a Noteholder of one or more Definitive Notes having an
aggregate original principal amount of not less than $1,000,000, any such payments shall be made by
wire transfer to an account designated by such Noteholder at a financial institution in New York,
New York; provided that the final payment for the Equipment Notes shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Definitive Notes by the Noteholder or its agent at the Corporate
Trust Office or agency of the Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent specified in the notice of such
final payment given by the Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent. The Indenture Trustee or Paying
Agent shall mail such notice of the final payment of the Equipment Notes to each of the
Noteholders, specifying the date and amount of such final payment.

          (c) The beneficial owner of a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note may arrange to receive
interest, principal and premium payments through Euroclear or Clearstream on such Regulation S
Temporary Book-Entry Note only after delivery by such beneficial owner to Euroclear or Clearstream,
as the case may be, of a written certification substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 hereto, and
upon delivery of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to the Paying Agent of a
certification or certifications substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 hereto. No interest,
principal or premium shall be paid to any beneficial owner and no interest, principal or premium
shall be paid to Euroclear or Clearstream on such beneficial owner’s interest in a Regulation S
Temporary Book-Entry Note unless Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, has provided such a
certification to the Paying Agent with respect to such interest, principal and/or premium.

     Section 2.06 Minimum Denomination. Each Equipment Note shall be issued in minimum
denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, one Equipment Note may be issued with such excess
in integral multiples of $1.

     Section 2.07 Exchange Option. If the holder (other than the Purchaser) of a
beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Book-Entry Note deposited with DTC wishes at any time to
exchange its interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note, or to transfer its interest in the
Unrestricted Book-Entry Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an
interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note, the holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of
Euroclear or Clearstream and DTC, as the case may be, give directions for the Indenture Trustee and
Note Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of the interest
for an equivalent beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note. Upon receipt by the Indenture
Trustee and Note Registrar of (a) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream (based on instructions
from depositaries for Euroclear and Clearstream) or from a DTC Participant, as applicable, or DTC,
as the case may be, directing the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar to credit or cause to be
credited a beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note equal to the

17

 

beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note to be exchanged or transferred (such
instructions to contain information regarding the DTC Participant account to be credited with the
increase, and, with respect to an exchange or transfer of an interest in the Unrestricted
Book-Entry Note, information regarding the DTC Participant account to be debited with the
decrease), and (b) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B-8, given by the Noteholder (and the
proposed transferee, if applicable), the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall instruct DTC to
reduce the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial
interest in the Unrestricted Book-Entry Note to be exchanged or transferred, and the Indenture
Trustee shall instruct DTC, concurrently with the reduction, to increase the principal amount of
the 144A Book-Entry Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the
Unrestricted Book-Entry Note to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be
credited to the account of the Person specified in the instructions a beneficial interest in the
144A Book-Entry Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Unrestricted Book-Entry
Note.

     If a holder (other than the Purchaser) of a beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note
wishes at any time to exchange its interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note for an interest in a
Regulation S Book-Entry Note, or to transfer its interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note to a Person
who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Note,
the holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, give directions for the Indenture
Trustee and Note Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of
the interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Note. Upon
receipt by the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar of (a) instructions given in accordance with
DTC’s procedures from a DTC Participant directing the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar to
credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Note in an
amount equal to the beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note to be exchanged or transferred,
(b) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the
account of the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream or another Clearing Agency Participant, as
the case may be, to be credited with the increase and the name of the account and (c) certificates
in the form of Exhibits B-5 and B-7 hereto, respectively, given by the Noteholder and the proposed
transferee of the interest, the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce
the 144A Book-Entry Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the 144A
Book-Entry Note to be so exchanged or transferred and the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar
shall instruct DTC, concurrently with the reduction, to increase the principal amount of the
Regulation S Book-Entry Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the
144A Book-Entry Note to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to
the account of the Person specified in the instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Book-Entry Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the 144A Book-Entry Note.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser may exchange beneficial
interests in the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note held by it for interests in the 144A
Book-Entry Note only after delivery by the Purchaser of instructions to DTC for the exchange,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-6 hereto. Upon receipt of the instructions provided in the
preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce the
principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note to be so transferred and shall
instruct DTC to increase the principal amount of the 144A Book-Entry Note and credit or cause to be
credited to the account of the placement agent a beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry

18

 

Note having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the
Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note was reduced upon the transfer pursuant to the instructions
provided in the first sentence of this paragraph.

     If a Book-Entry Note is exchanged for a Definitive Note, such Equipment Notes may be exchanged
or transferred for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially
consistent with the provisions of the three immediately preceding paragraphs (including the
certification requirements intended to ensure that the exchanges or transfers comply with Rule 144
or Regulation S, as the case may be) and as may be from time to time adopted by the Indenture
Trustee.

     Section 2.08 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes. If any Equipment
Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer shall issue, upon the written
request of the Holder thereof and presentation of the Equipment Note or satisfactory evidence of
destruction, loss or theft thereof to the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar, and the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar shall deliver in exchange
therefor or in replacement thereof, a new Equipment Note, payable to such Holder in the same
principal amount, of the same maturity, with the same payment schedule, bearing the same interest
rate and dated the date of its authentication. If the Equipment Note being replaced has become
mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Indenture Trustee or a Note Registrar
and forwarded to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or such Note Registrar. If the Equipment Note
being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the Holder thereof shall furnish to the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee or a Note Registrar (i) such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and such Note Registrar harmless and (ii) evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and such Note Registrar of the destruction, loss
or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof. The Noteholder will be required to
pay any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such exchange or replacement
and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee and any Note
Registrar) connected therewith.

     Section 2.09 Payments of Transfer Taxes. Upon the transfer of any Equipment Note or
Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require
from the party requesting such new Equipment Note or Equipment Notes payment of a sum to reimburse
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee for, or to provide funds for the payment of, any transfer tax
or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Section 2.10 Book-Entry Registration.

          (a) Upon the issuance of any Book-Entry Notes, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its
book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the individual
beneficial interests represented by such Book-Entry Notes to the accounts of a Direct Participant.
Ownership of beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Note will be limited to DTC Participants or
Persons who hold interests through DTC Participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the
Book-Entry Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only
through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to interests of DTC Participants) and the records
of DTC Participants (with respect to interests of Persons other than DTC Participants).

19

 

          (b) So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of a Book-Entry Note,
DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Noteholder
represented by such Book-Entry Note for all purposes under this Indenture, and the Book-Entry
Notes. Unless (a) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository
for a Book-Entry Note, (b) the Issuer elects to terminate the book-entry system for the Book-Entry
Notes, or (c) an Event of Default has occurred and the Indenture Trustee acting at the Direction of
a Requisite Majority certifies that continuation of a book-entry system through DTC (or a
successor) for the Equipment Notes is no longer in the best interests of the Noteholders, owners of
beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Note will not be entitled to have any portion of such
Book-Entry Note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical
delivery of Equipment Notes in definitive form and will not be considered to be the owners or
Noteholders under this Indenture or the Book-Entry Notes. In addition, no beneficial owner of an
interest in a Book-Entry Note will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with
DTC’s applicable procedures (and in addition, if applicable, those of Clearstream and Euroclear).

          (c) Investors may hold their interest in a Regulation S Book-Entry Note through Clearstream or
Euroclear, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are
participants in such systems. After the Exchange Date, investors also may hold such interests
through organizations other than Clearstream and Euroclear that are DTC Participants. Clearstream
and Euroclear will hold interests in a Regulation S Book-Entry Note on behalf of their participants
through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective
depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in a Regulation S Book-Entry Note in
customers’ accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. Citibank, N.A. will initially
act as depositary for Clearstream and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels Office,
will initially act as depositary for Euroclear. Investors may hold their interests in a 144A
Book-Entry Note directly through DTC, if they are DTC Participants, or indirectly through
organizations that are DTC Participants.

          (d) All payments of principal and interest will be made by the Paying Agent on behalf of the
Issuer in immediately available funds or the equivalent, so long as DTC continues to make its
Same-Day Funds Settlement System available to the Issuer.

     None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
fully protected in relying on, such registration instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose name the Definitive Notes are
registered in the Register as Noteholders hereunder. Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee
shall be liable if the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor
Noteholder.

     Definitive Notes will be transferable and exchangeable for Definitive Notes at the office of
the Indenture Trustee or the office of a Note Registrar upon compliance with the requirements set
forth herein. In the case of a transfer of only part of a holding of Definitive Notes, a new
Definitive Note shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the part transferred and a new
Definitive Note in respect of the balance of the holding not transferred shall be issued to the
transferor and may be obtained at the office of the applicable Note Registrar.

20

 

          (e) Any beneficial interest in one of the Book-Entry Notes as to the Equipment Notes that is
transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Book-Entry Note
will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Book-Entry Note and become an interest in such
other Book-Entry Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if
any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Book-Entry Note for as
long as it remains such an interest.

          (f) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a 144A Book-Entry Note
pursuant to Section 2.07 shall bear the Private Placement Legend applicable to a 144A Book-Entry
Note set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

          (g) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in an Unrestricted Book-Entry
Note pursuant to Section 2.07 shall bear the Private Placement Legend applicable to a Unrestricted
Book-Entry Note set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

     Section 2.11 Special Transfer Provisions.

          (a) Transfers to Non-QIB Institutional Accredited Investors. The following provisions

          (b) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the

2.11(b) to a QIB (excluding Non-U.S. Persons):

          (i) If the Equipment Note to be transferred consists of (x) Definitive Notes, the Note

the Note Registrar, or has otherwise advised the Issuer and the Note Registrar in writing,
that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to

exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account are QIBs within the
meaning of Rule 144A, are aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A
and acknowledge that they have received such information regarding the Issuer as they have
requested pursuant to Rule 144A or have determined not to request such information and that
they are aware that the transferor is relying upon their foregoing representations in order
to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A or (y) an interest in a 144A
Book-Entry Note, the transfer of such interest may be effected only through the book-entry
system maintained by the DTC.

          (ii) If the proposed transferee is a Direct Participant, and the Equipment Note to be
transferred is a Definitive Note, upon receipt by the Note Registrar of the documents
referred to in clause (i) and instructions given in accordance with the DTC’s and the Note
Registrar’s procedures, the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date
and an increase in the principal amount at maturity of the 144A Book-Entry Note in an amount
equal to the principal amount at maturity of the Definitive Note to be transferred, and the
Indenture Trustee shall cancel the Definitive Note so transferred.

          (c) Transfers of Interests in a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note. The following
provisions shall apply with respect to registration of any proposed transfer of interests in a

Issuer and the Note Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing such Equipment Note for its
own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and
that it and any such account are QIBs within the meaning of Rule 144A, are aware that the
sale to them is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledge that they have received
such information regarding the Issuer as they have requested pursuant to Rule 144A or have
determined not to request such information and that they are aware that the transferor is
relying upon their foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from
registration provided by Rule 144A.

          (ii) If the proposed transferee is a Direct Participant that provides the documents
referred to in clause (i)(y) above, upon receipt by the Note Registrar of such documents and
instructions given in accordance with DTC’s and the Note Registrar’s procedures, the Note
Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal
amount of the 144A Book-Entry Note, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note to be transferred, and

22

 

the Indenture Trustee shall decrease the amount of the Regulation S Temporary
Book-Entry Note.

          (d) Transfers of Interests in an Unrestricted Book-Entry Note. The Note Registrar
shall register any transfer of interests in an Unrestricted Book-Entry Note, or a Definitive Note
issued in exchange for an interest in a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note or Unrestricted
Book-Entry Note in accordance with Section 2.11(b) hereof, to U.S. Persons in accordance with
Section 2.07, or to Non-U.S. Persons in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear or
Clearstream and their respective participants.

          (e) Transfers to Non-U.S. Persons at any Time. With respect to any transfer of an
Equipment Note to a Non-U.S. Person prior to the applicable Exchange Date, the Note Registrar shall
register any proposed transfer of a Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note to a Non-U.S. Person
upon receipt of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-7 hereto from the proposed
transferor.

          (f) ERISA Transfer Restrictions. Each purchaser and subsequent transferee of any
Equipment Note will be deemed to have represented and warranted either that (i) it is not an
employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), whether or not subject to the
provisions of Title I of ERISA, a plan as covered by Section 4975 of the Code, or an entity whose
underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s
investment in such entity, or (ii) its purchase and holding of the Equipment Note will not result
in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or,
in the case of a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan, any substantially similar federal, state,
local or other law).

          (g) [Reserved].

          (h) General. By its acceptance of any Equipment Note bearing the Private Placement
Legend, each Holder of such Equipment Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such
Equipment Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it
will transfer such Equipment Note only as provided in this Indenture. The Note Registrar shall not
register a transfer of any Equipment Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on
transfer of such Equipment Note set forth in this Indenture. In connection with any transfer of
Equipment Notes, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of its Equipment Notes to furnish the
Indenture Trustee the certifications and legal opinions described herein to confirm that such
transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall not be
required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Issuer with respect to) the
sufficiency of any such legal opinions.

          (i) Issuer Group Member Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no
Equipment Note shall be transferred to any Issuer Group Member unless (i) the transferor thereof
transfers such Equipment Notes to an Issuer Group Member in an arm’s length transaction, (ii) the
transferor thereof is not an Issuer Group Member, (iii) such transfer is made solely for the
purpose of retiring such Equipment Notes and (iv) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee,
prior to the effectiveness of such transfer, an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer

23

 

pursuant to which the Issuer covenants and agrees that it will or will cause such transferred
Equipment Notes to be retired within 30 days of such transfer. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, no Issuer Group Member shall be entitled to receive
any interest on any Equipment Notes held by it.

     Section 2.12 Temporary Definitive Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes,
the Issuer may execute and the Indenture Trustee may authenticate and deliver temporary Definitive
Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any denomination,
containing substantially the same terms and provisions as are set forth in the applicable exhibit
hereto, except for such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
relating to their temporary nature as the Authorized Representative of the Issuer executing such
temporary Definitive Notes may determine, as evidenced by his execution of such temporary
Definitive Notes.

     If temporary Definitive Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to be
prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary
Definitive Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of such temporary
Definitive Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, without charge to the
Holder thereof. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Definitive Notes, the
Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor
Definitive Notes, in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amounts. Until
so exchanged, such temporary Definitive Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

     Section 2.13 Statements to Noteholders.

          (a) With respect to each Collection Period, the Issuer shall, not later than the last Business
Day before the Payment Date immediately following the last day of such Collection Period, cause the
Administrator to deliver to the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall (or shall
instruct any Paying Agent to) promptly thereafter (but not later than such Payment Date) distribute
to the Rating Agency, and to each Holder of record with respect to such Payment Date, a report,
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 hereto prepared by the Administrator or Manager
and setting forth the information described therein (each, a “Monthly Report”). The Issuer shall
cause the Administrator or Manager to deliver to the Indenture Trustee with the Monthly Report for
each June, and the Indenture Trustee shall (or shall instruct any Paying Agent to) distribute with
the Monthly Report for each June to the Persons described in the first sentence in this Section
2.13(a), a report, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 hereto prepared by the
Administrator or Manager and setting forth the information described therein (each, an “Annual
Report”). The Indenture Trustee shall deliver, promptly upon written request, a copy of each
Monthly Report and Annual Report to any Holder or other Secured Party and, at the written request
of any Holder, to any prospective purchaser of any Equipment Notes from such Holder. If the
Equipment Notes are then listed on any stock exchange, the Indenture Trustee also shall provide a
copy of each Monthly Report and each Annual Report to the applicable listing agent on behalf of
such stock exchange.

          (b) After the end of each calendar year but not later than the latest date permitted by law,
the Administrator or Manager shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, and the

24

 

Indenture Trustee shall (or shall instruct any Paying Agent to) furnish to each Person who at
any time during such calendar year was a Noteholder of record of any Equipment Notes, a statement
(for example, a Form 1099 or any other means required by law) prepared by the Administrator or
Manager containing the sum of the amounts determined pursuant to Exhibit D-1 hereto with respect to
the Equipment Notes for such calendar year or, in the event such Person was a Noteholder of record
during only a portion of such calendar year, for the applicable portion of such calendar year, and
such other items as are readily available to the Administrator or Manager and which a Noteholder
shall reasonably request as necessary for the purpose of such Noteholder’s preparation of its U.S.
federal income or other tax returns. So long as any of the Equipment Notes are registered in the
name of DTC or its nominee, such report and such other items will be prepared on the basis of such
information supplied to the Administrator by DTC and the Direct Participants, and will be delivered
by the Indenture Trustee, when received from the Administrator or Manager, to DTC for transfer to
the applicable beneficial owners in the manner described above. In the event that any such
information has been provided by any Paying Agent directly to such Person through other tax-related
reports or otherwise, the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent shall not be obligated
to comply with such request for information.

          (c) At such time, if any, as the Equipment Notes are issued in the form of Definitive Notes,
the Indenture Trustee shall prepare and deliver the information described in Section 2.13(b) to
each Holder of record of a Definitive Note for the period of its ownership of such Definitive Note
as the same appears on the records of the Indenture Trustee.

          (d) Following each Payment Date and any other date specified herein for distribution of any
payments with respect to the Equipment Notes and prior to an Optional Redemption, the Indenture
Trustee shall cause notice thereof to be given (i) by publication in such English language
newspaper or newspapers as the Indenture Trustee shall approve having a general circulation in
Europe, (ii) by either of (a) the information contained in such notice appearing on the relevant
page of the Reuters Screen or such other medium for the electronic display of data as may be
approved by the Indenture Trustee and notified to Noteholders or (b) publication in the Financial
Times and The Wall Street Journal (National Edition) or, if either newspaper shall cease to be
published or timely publication therein shall not be practicable, in such English language
newspaper or newspapers as the Indenture Trustee shall approve having a general circulation in
Europe and the United States and (iii) until such time as any Definitive Notes are issued and, so
long as the Equipment Notes are registered with DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, delivery of the
relevant notice to DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream for communication by them to Noteholders of
the Equipment Notes. Notwithstanding the above, any notice to the Noteholders of the Equipment
Notes specifying any principal payment or any payment of premium, if any, shall be validly given by
delivery of the relevant notice to DTC, Euroclear and/or Clearstream for communication by them to
such Noteholders, without the need for notice or publication described in clause (i) or clause (ii)
of the preceding sentence. If the Equipment Notes are listed on a stock exchange, notice
specifying and Optional Redemption of any Equipment Notes must be published in a daily newspaper of
general circulation in the jurisdiction in which such stock exchange is located for so long as the
Equipment Notes are listed on such stock exchange. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been
given on the first day on which any of such conditions shall have been met.

25

 

          (e) The Indenture Trustee shall be at liberty to sanction some other method of giving notice
to the Noteholders if, in its opinion, such other method is reasonable, having regard to the number
and identity of the Noteholders and/or to market practice then prevailing, is in the best interests
of the Noteholders and will comply with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Equipment
Notes are listed as confirmed by the listing agent for such stock exchange or such other stock
exchange (if any) on which the Equipment Notes are then listed, and any such notice shall be deemed
to have been given on such date as the Indenture Trustee may approve the same; provided that notice
of such method is given to the Noteholders in such manner as the Indenture Trustee shall require.

     Section 2.14 CUSIP, CINS and ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Equipment Notes
may use “CUSIP”, “CINS”, “ISIN” or other identification numbers (if then generally in use), and if
so, the Indenture Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, CINS numbers, ISIN numbers or other
identification numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience
to Holders; provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Equipment Notes or as contained in any notice
of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed on the Equipment Notes; provided further, that failure to use “CUSIP”, “CINS”, “ISIN” or
other identification numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange shall not affect the validity
or sufficiency of such notice.

     Section 2.15 Debt Treatment of Equipment Notes. The parties hereto agree, and the
holders of the Equipment Notes and interests therein, by their purchase thereof shall be deemed to
have agreed, to treat the Equipment Notes as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

     Section 2.16 Compliance with Withholding Requirements. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the Issuer and Indenture Trustee shall comply with all United States
federal income tax withholding requirements with respect to payments to Noteholders of interest,
original issue discount, or other amounts that are required to be withheld under the Code. The
consent of the Noteholders shall not be required for any such withholding.

ARTICLE III

INDENTURE ACCOUNTS; PRIORITY OF PAYMENTS

     Section 3.01 Establishment of Indenture Accounts; Investments.

          (a) Indenture Accounts. The Administrator, on behalf and at the direction of the
Issuer, will establish with the Indenture Trustee on or before the Closing Date and maintain all of
the following accounts: (i) a collections account (the “Collections Account”), (ii) a railcar
replacement account (the “Mandatory Replacement Account”), (iii) an optional reinvestment account
(the “Optional Reinvestment Account”), (iv) an expense account (the “Expense Account”), (v) a
liquidity reserve account (the “Liquidity Reserve Account”), and (vi) for the purpose of
facilitating the Indenture Trustee’s payments to the Noteholders from funds available therefor, the
Equipment Note Account. From time to time thereafter, the Administrator, on behalf and at the
direction of the Issuer, will establish with the Indenture Trustee such other

26

 

Indenture Accounts as may be authorized or required by this Indenture and the other Operative
Agreements.

          (b) All Indenture Accounts to be established on or prior to the Closing Date shall bear the
account numbers set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. All amounts from time to time held in each
Indenture Account shall be held (a) in the name of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, and (b) in the custody and under the “Control” (as such term is defined in the
UCC) of the Indenture Trustee, for the purposes and on the terms set forth in this Indenture, and
all such amounts shall constitute a part of the Collateral and shall not constitute payment of any
Secured Obligation or any other obligation of the Issuer until applied as hereinafter provided.

          (c) Withdrawals and Transfers. The Indenture Trustee shall have sole dominion and
control over the Indenture Accounts (including, inter alia, the sole power to direct withdrawals
from or transfers among the Indenture Accounts), and the Issuer shall have no right to withdraw, or
to cause the withdrawal of funds or other investments held in the Indenture Accounts or to direct
the investment of such funds or the liquidation of any Permitted Investments, in each case other
than as expressly provided herein.

          (d) Investments. For so long as any Equipment Notes remain Outstanding, the Indenture
Trustee, at the written direction of the Administrator, shall invest and reinvest the funds on
deposit in the Indenture Accounts (other than the Equipment Note Account, which shall not be
invested) in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, the Administrator shall have no right to direct such reinvestment and the Indenture
Trustee shall invest such amount in Indenture Investments from the time of receipt thereof until
such time as such amounts are required to be distributed pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
In the absence of written direction delivered to the Indenture Trustee from the Administrator, the
Indenture Trustee shall invest any funds in Permitted Investments described in clause (f) of the
definition thereof. The Indenture Trustee shall make such investments and reinvestments in
accordance with the terms of the following provisions:

          (i) the Permitted Investments shall have maturities and other terms such that
sufficient funds shall be available to make required payments pursuant to this Indenture on
the Business Day immediately preceding the first Payment Date after which such investment is
made, in the case of investments of funds on deposit in the Collections Account, the Expense
Account and the Liquidity Reserve Account; and

          (ii) if any funds to be invested are not received in the Indenture Accounts by noon,
New York City time, on any Business Day, such funds shall, if possible, be invested in
overnight Permitted Investments.

          (e) Earnings. Earnings on investments of funds in the Indenture Accounts shall be
deposited in the Collections Account when received and credited as Collections for the Collection
Period when so received.

27

 

          (f) WTC as Securities Intermediary; Control.

          (i) WTC shall act as the “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of the UCC) in
respect of all securities and other property credited to the Indenture Accounts.

          (ii) WTC as securities intermediary agrees with the parties hereto that each Indenture
Account shall be an account to which financial assets (within the meaning of the UCC) may be
credited and undertakes to treat the Indenture Trustee as entitled to exercise rights that
comprise such financial assets. WTC as securities intermediary agrees with the parties
hereto that each item of property credited to each Indenture Account shall be treated as
such a financial asset. WTC as securities intermediary acknowledges that the “securities
intermediary’s jurisdiction” as defined in the UCC with respect to the Collateral, shall be
the State of New York. WTC as securities intermediary represents and covenants that it is
not and will not be (as long as it is acting as securities intermediary hereunder) a party
to any agreement in respect of the Collateral that is inconsistent with the provisions of
this Indenture. WTC as securities intermediary agrees that any item of property credited to
any Indenture Account shall not be subject to any security interest, lien, or right of
setoff in favor of the securities intermediary or anyone claiming through the securities
intermediary (other than the Indenture Trustee).

          (iii) It is the intent of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that each Indenture
Account shall be a securities account of the Indenture Trustee and not an account of the
Issuer. Nonetheless, WTC as securities intermediary agrees that it will comply with
entitlement orders originated by the Indenture Trustee without further consent by the
Issuer. WTC as securities intermediary hereby further covenants that it will not agree with
any person or entity (other than the Indenture Trustee) that it will comply with entitlement
orders originated by such person or entity.

          (iv) Nothing herein shall imply or impose upon WTC as securities intermediary any duty
or obligations other than those expressly set forth herein and those applicable to a
securities intermediary under the UCC (and WTC as securities intermediary hereunder shall be
entitled to all of the protections available to a securities intermediary under the UCC).
Without limiting the foregoing, nothing herein shall imply or impose upon WTC as securities
intermediary any duties of a fiduciary nature (but not in limitation of any such duties of
the Indenture Trustee hereunder).

          (v) WTC as securities intermediary hereby represents and warrants and agrees with the
Issuer and for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee as follows:

          (A) With respect to Permitted Investments and Indenture Investments that are
book entry securities, such Permitted Investments and Indenture Investments have
been credited to the Indenture Trustee’s securities account by accurate book entry.

          (B) The securities intermediary shall not accept entitlement orders from any
other person except as authorized by the Indenture Trustee.

28

 

          (C) To the extent determined by the actions of WTC as securities intermediary,
the Indenture Trustee shall at all times have “control” (as defined in Section 8-106
of the UCC) over the securities account and the Permitted Investments and Indenture
Investments that are book entry securities.

          (D) WTC as securities intermediary has received no notice of, and has no
knowledge of any “adverse claim” (as such term is defined in the UCC) as to the
Collateral.

          (E) WTC as securities intermediary waives any lien, claim or encumbrance in
favor of the securities intermediary in the Collateral.

          (F) WTC as securities intermediary is a “securities intermediary” as such term
is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC and in the ordinary course of its
business maintains “securities accounts” for others, as such terms are used in
Section 8-501 of the UCC and as securities intermediary will be acting in such
capacity hereunder.

          (G) WTC as securities intermediary is not a “clearing corporation,” as such
term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(5) of the UCC.

          (vi) Each of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees and acknowledges that
WTC as securities intermediary, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Secured
Parties, shall have “control” over each Indenture Account under and for purposes of Section
9-104(a)(1) of the UCC.

          (g) Investment Disclosure. The Issuer and the Noteholders, by their acceptance of the
Equipment Notes or their interests therein, acknowledge that shares or investments in Permitted
Investments or Indenture Investments are not obligations of Wilmington Trust Company, or any parent
or affiliate of Wilmington Trust Company, are not deposits and are not insured by the FDIC. The
Indenture Trustee or its affiliate may be compensated by mutual funds or other investments
comprising Permitted Investments or Indenture Investments for services rendered in its capacity as
investment advisor, or other service provider, and such compensation is both described in detail in
the prospectuses for such funds or investments, and is in addition to the compensation, if any,
paid to Wilmington Trust Company in its capacity as Indenture Trustee hereunder. The Issuer and
Noteholders agree that the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any losses or diminution
in the value of the Indenture Accounts occurring as a result of the investment of funds in the
Indenture Accounts in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 3.13(d) hereof as to the Redemption Date in respect of any Optional Redemption, the
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date in the
amount identified in such notice shall become due and payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Indenture Trustee, and from and after such Redemption Date (unless there shall be a default in the
payment of the applicable amount to be redeemed) such principal amount shall cease to bear
interest. Upon surrender of any Equipment Note for redemption in accordance with such notice, the
Redemption Price of such Equipment Note shall be paid as provided for in Section 3.11(d). If any
Equipment Note to be redeemed shall not be so paid, or shall only be paid in part in accordance
with the terms of such notice, the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance thereof shall continue
to bear interest from the Redemption Date until paid at the interest rate applicable to such
Equipment Note.

          (d) Redemption Notice. In respect of any Optional Redemption of the Equipment Notes
to be made out of amounts available for such purposes, the Indenture Trustee will give a Redemption
Notice to each holder of the Equipment Notes to be redeemed, provided that the Indenture Trustee
shall have determined in advance of giving any such Redemption Notice that funds are or will, on
the Redemption Date, be available therefor. Such Redemption Notice will be given at least twenty
(20) days but not more than sixty (60) days before such Redemption Date. Each Redemption Notice
will state (i) the applicable Redemption Date, (ii) if an Optional Redemption in part, the portion
of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes that is to be redeemed (and in respect
thereof, the Redemption Price will be distributed to the Holders pro rata in the same manner as
partial repayments of principal on the Equipment Notes made pursuant to the Flow of Funds and the
Indenture Trustee’s notice shall contain information to that effect), (iii) the Indenture Trustee’s
arrangements for making

39

 

payments due on the Redemption Date, (iv) the Redemption Price of the Equipment Notes to be
redeemed, (v) for an Optional Redemption in whole, that the Equipment Notes to be redeemed must be
surrendered (which action may be taken by any Holder of the Equipment Notes or its authorized
agent) to the Indenture Trustee to collect the Redemption Price on such Equipment Notes and
(vi) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, if any, interest on
the portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes called for redemption will
cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.

     Section 3.14 Adjustments in Targeted Principal Balances.

          (a) Railcar Dispositions. If Net Disposition Proceeds have been included in the
Available Collections Amount on any Payment Date, then the Scheduled Targeted Principal Balance of
the Equipment Notes for such Payment Date and for all subsequent Payment Dates will be equal to the
product of (a) the Scheduled Adjustment Fraction for the Equipment Notes as of each such Payment
Date and (b) the Scheduled Targeted Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes for each such Payment
Date, as adjusted for Optional Redemptions as provided in Section 3.14(b) below but without giving
effect to any previous adjustments made to such Scheduled Targeted Principal Balance pursuant to
this Section 3.14(a).

          (b) Optional Redemption. In connection with any Optional Redemption in part, the
Scheduled Targeted Principal Balance shall be reduced on the Redemption Date and each subsequent
Payment Date by the product of (i) the Redemption Fraction and (ii) the Scheduled Targeted
Principal Balance that existed for the Redemption Date or such subsequent Payment Date, as the case
may be, immediately prior to such Optional Redemption.

As used above:

     “Redemption Fraction” means, for the Equipment Notes being subjected to an Optional
Redemption, a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of the Equipment Notes that
is being prepaid in connection with such Optional Redemption and the denominator of which is the
Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such Optional Redemption.

which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise,
shall not be in effect; provided, however, that any such judgment or order shall not be an Event of
Default under this Section 4.01(h) if and for so long as (x) the amount of such judgment or order
is covered by a valid and binding policy of insurance between the defendant and the insurer
(subject to customary deductible or co-payment) covering payment thereof and (y) such insurer,

actual knowledge thereof so long as (i) such unauthorized use is not the result of any willful
action of the Issuer and (ii) such unauthorized use is capable of being cured and the Issuer
diligently pursues such cure throughout such 45-day period;

42

 

          (n) TILC (or any successor thereto in its capacity as “Servicer”) shall have defaulted in any
material respect in the performance of any of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement or a

     Section 4.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

          (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 4.01(f) or
4.01(g), the Outstanding Principal Balance of, and accrued interest on, the Equipment Notes,
together with all other amounts then due and owing to the Noteholders, shall become immediately due
and payable without further action by any Person. If any other Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, then the Indenture Trustee, acting at the Direction of the Requisite Majority, may
declare the principal of and accrued interest on all Equipment Notes then Outstanding to be due and
payable immediately, by written notice to the Issuer, the Manager and the Administrator (a “Default
Notice”), and upon any such declaration such principal and accrued interest shall become
immediately due and payable. At any time after the Indenture Trustee has declared the Outstanding
Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes to be due and payable and prior to the exercise of any
other remedies pursuant to this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee (at the Direction of the Requisite
Majority), by written notice to the Issuer, the Manager and the Administrator may, except in the
case of (i) a default in the deposit or distribution of any payment required to be made on the
Equipment Notes, (ii) a payment default on the Equipment Notes or (iii) a default in respect of any
covenant or provision of this Indenture that cannot by the terms hereof be modified or amended
without the consent of each Noteholder affected thereby, rescind and annul such declaration and
thereby annul its consequences, if (1) there has been paid to or deposited with the Indenture
Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all overdue installments of interest on the Equipment Notes,
and the principal of and premium, if any, on the Equipment Notes that would have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of

43

 

acceleration, (2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, and (3) all
other defaults and Events of Default, other than nonpayment of interest and principal on the
Equipment Notes that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or
waived.

          (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and
shall, if given a Direction in writing by the Requisite Majority, do any or all of the following,
provided that the Indenture Trustee shall dispose of the Portfolio Railcars only if it has received
a Collateral Liquidation Notice:

          (i) Institute any Proceedings, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, for
the collection of all amounts then due and payable on the Equipment Notes or under this
Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment
obtained, and collect from the Collateral and any other assets of the Issuer any moneys
adjudged due;

          (ii) Subject to the quiet enjoyment rights of any Lessee of a Portfolio Railcar,
conduct proceedings to sell, hold or lease the Collateral or any portion thereof or rights
or interest therein, at one or more public or private transactions conducted in any manner
permitted by law; provided that, the Indenture Trustee shall incur no liability as a result
of the sale of the Collateral or any part thereof at any sale pursuant to this Section 4.02
conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, and the Issuer hereby waives any claims
against the Indenture Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the
Collateral may have been sold at such sale was less than the price that might have been
obtained, even if the Indenture Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer
the Collateral to more than one offeree.

          (iii) Institute any Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial
foreclosure of the Encumbrance created by this Indenture with respect to the Collateral;

          (iv) Institute such other appropriate Proceedings to protect and enforce any other
rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture
or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper
remedy;

          (v) Exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any Applicable Law and
take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the
Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders under this Indenture;

          (vi) Appoint a receiver or a manager over the Issuer or its assets; and

          (vii) Exercise its rights under Section 3.03 hereof.

          (c) If the Equipment Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default,
any money collected by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or otherwise, and any
moneys that may then be held or thereafter received by the Indenture Trustee,

44

 

shall be applied to the extent permitted by law in the following order, at the date or dates
fixed by the Indenture Trustee;

          (i) First, to the payment of all costs and expenses of collection incurred by the
Indenture Trustee (including the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel to the
Indenture Trustee), and all other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture;
and

          (ii) Second, as set forth in the applicable provision of the Flow of Funds.

          (d) The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agency with a copy of any Default Notice it
receives or delivers pursuant to this Indenture. Within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of
an Event of Default in respect of the Equipment Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice to
the Noteholders, transmitted by mail, of all uncured or unwaived Defaults actually known to a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee on such date; provided that the Indenture Trustee may
withhold such notice with respect to a Default (other than a payment default with respect to
interest, principal or premium, if any) if it determines in good faith that withholding such notice
is in the interest of the affected Noteholders.

          (e) The Issuer hereby agrees that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, the Indenture Trustee and any permitted delegee thereof are hereby irrevocably
authorized and empowered to act as the attorney-in-fact for the Issuer with respect to the giving
of any instructions or notices under this Indenture.

          (f) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, upon the written Direction
of the Requisite Majority, the Indenture Trustee shall render an accounting of the current balance
of each Indenture Account, and shall direct the Account Collateral Agent to render an accounting of
the current balance of the Customer Payment Account.

          (g) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and only in such event, upon
the written Direction of the Requisite Majority, the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized to take
any and all actions and to exercise any and all rights, remedies and options which it may have
under this Indenture (which rights and remedies shall include the right to direct the withdrawal
and disposition of amounts on deposit in the Indenture Accounts and the deposit thereof in the
Collections Account) and which the Requisite Majority directs it to take under this Indenture,
including realization and foreclosure on the Collateral.

          (h) The Indenture Trustee may after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event
of Default exercise any and all rights and remedies of the Issuer under or in connection with the
Assigned Agreements (including, without limitation, the Management Agreement and any successor
agreement therefor) and otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any
and all rights of the Issuer to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or
performance of any provision of, any Assigned Agreement. In addition, after the occurrence of and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Direction of the Requisite Majority, the
Indenture Trustee may exercise all rights of the “lessor” under Leases related to Portfolio
Railcars, including, without limitation, the right to direct the

45

 

applicable Lessees to make rental payments to such account as the Indenture Trustee shall
specify, for application to the Collections Account and upon a Manager Default, or a Manager
Replacement Event (as defined in the Management Agreement) in respect of which the Manager has been
replaced, and in each case upon the Direction of the Requisite Majority, the Indenture Trustee may
exercise the right of the “lessor” to direct the applicable Lessees to make rental payments to such
account as the Indenture Trustee shall specify, for application to the Collections Account.

     Section 4.03 Limitation on Suits. No Holder shall have any right to institute any
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Equipment Notes, or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

          (a) such Holder holds Equipment Notes and has previously given written notice to the Indenture
Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

          (b) the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the
Equipment Notes give a written Direction to the Indenture Trustee to pursue a remedy hereunder;

          (c) such Holder or Holders offer to the Indenture Trustee an indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to the Indenture Trustee against any costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying
with such request;

          (d) the Indenture Trustee does not comply with such request within sixty (60) days after
receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

          (e) during such sixty (60)-day period, a Requisite Majority does not give the Indenture
Trustee a Direction inconsistent with such request.

     No one or more Noteholders may use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights
of another Holder or to obtain or seek to obtain any preference or priority not otherwise created
by this Indenture and the terms of the Equipment Notes over any other Holder or to enforce any
right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

     Section 4.04 Waiver of Existing Defaults.

          (a) The Indenture Trustee acting at the Direction of the Requisite Majority may waive any
existing Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except any waiver in respect
of a covenant or provision hereof which, pursuant to Section 9.02(a), cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of such Persons as are required to amend such covenant or provision in addition
to the consent of the Requisite Majority.

          (b) Upon any waiver made in accordance with Section 4.04(a), such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
impair any right consequent thereon. Each such notice of waiver shall also be notified to the
Rating Agency.

46

 

          (c) Any written waiver of a Default or an Event of Default given by Holders of the Equipment
Notes to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall
be binding upon the Indenture Trustee and the other parties hereto. Unless such writing expressly
provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or
occurrence which gave rise to the Default or Event of Default so waived and not to any other
similar event or occurrence which occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.

     Section 4.05 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any
Holder of Equipment Notes has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Indenture, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or such Holder, then in every such case the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding,
be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all
rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such
proceeding has been instituted.

     Section 4.06 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy herein given
to the Indenture Trustee (or the Requisite Majority) specifically or otherwise in this Indenture
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy herein
specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every
right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised
from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Indenture
Trustee (or the Requisite Majority), and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power
or remedy shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or
thereafter any other right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by the Indenture Trustee (or the
Requisite Majority) in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy
shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default on the
part of the Issuer or to be an acquiescence.

     Section 4.07 Authority of Courts Not Required. The parties hereto agree that, to the
greatest extent permitted by law, the Indenture Trustee shall not be obliged or required to seek or
obtain the authority of, or any judgment or order of, the courts of any jurisdiction in order to
exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under this Indenture, and the parties hereby waive
any such requirement to the greatest extent permitted by law.

     Section 4.08 Rights of Noteholders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Noteholder to receive payment of interest on,
principal of, or premium, if any, on the Equipment Notes on or after the respective due dates
therefor, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Noteholder.

     Section 4.09 Indenture Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Indenture Trustee may
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee and of any Noteholder allowed in any judicial
proceedings relating to the Issuer, its creditors or its property.

47

 

     Section 4.10 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each
Noteholder by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Indenture
Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such
suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defense made by the party litigant. This Section 4.10 does not apply to a suit
instituted by the Indenture Trustee, a suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the
payment of interest, principal, or premium, if any, on the Equipment Notes on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Equipment Note, or a suit by a Noteholder or Noteholders of
more than 10% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes (exclusive of Equipment
Notes or interests therein held by any Issuer Group Member).

ARTICLE V

the Indenture Trustee as of the Closing Date, and (other than with respect to clauses (c), (d),
(e), (m), (n) or (t) below) each Delivery Date, as follows:

          (a) Due Organization.

          (i) The Issuer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, is duly licensed or qualified and in
good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material

Issuer is a party, has the organizational power and authority to carry on its business as
now conducted, has the requisite organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Issuer Documents and the Operative Agreements to which the
Issuer is a party.

          (ii) TILC is the sole member of the Issuer.

          (iii) Each of the LLC Agreement and each other organizational document of the Issuer
has been duly executed and delivered by each party thereto and constitutes a legal, valid

its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and
by general principles of equity.

          (iv) Since the date of formation of the Issuer, the Issuer has not conducted business
under any other name and does not have any trade names, or “doing business under” or “doing

Rico, Guam or any possession or territory of the United States, or any foreign country
or state) other than the State of Delaware.

          (b) Special Purpose Status. The Issuer has not engaged in any activities since its
organization (other than those incidental to its organization and other appropriate limited
liability company steps and arrangements for the payment of fees to, and director’s and officer’s
insurance for, its member, special member and manager), the execution of the Issuer Documents and
the Operative Agreements to which it is a party and the activities referred to in or contemplated
by such agreements.

          (c) Non-Contravention. The Issuer’s acquisition of its Portfolio pursuant to the
Asset Transfer Agreement, the other transactions contemplated by the Asset Transfer Agreement, the
creation of the Equipment Notes and the issuance, execution and delivery of, and the compliance by
the Issuer with the terms of each of the Operative Agreements and the Equipment Notes:

          (i) do not conflict with, or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of,
or constitute a default under, the constitutional documents of the Issuer or with any

substantially complete such that it is ready and available to operate in commercial service and
otherwise perform the function for which it was designed; and the railcar identification marks

such Lease and (iii) no consent, approval or filing is required under such Lease in connection with
the execution and delivery of the Operative Agreements.

52

purchase) the greater of (1) an appraiser’s estimate at Lease inception of fair market value at the
time of potential exercise under the option provision, and (2) 105% of the product of the Railcar

the date this representation is made or deemed made. Any such purchase option complying with each
of the foregoing limitations described in clauses (i) and (ii) above is referred to herein and in
the other Operative Agreements as a “Permitted Purchase Option.”

          (aa) No Other Financing of Lease; Permitted Lease. After giving effect to the
transfers contemplated under the Operative Agreements, (i) the Leases being Conveyed to the Issuer

other than the transactions contemplated by the Operative Agreements and (ii) such Leases conform
to the definition of Permitted Lease.

          (bb) Concentration Limits. After giving effect to the Issuer’s acquisition of

Encumbrance on the Collateral other than: (i) any Permitted Encumbrance, and (ii) any other
Encumbrance the validity or applicability of which is being contested in good faith in appropriate
proceedings by any Issuer Group Member (and the proceedings related to such Encumbrance or the
continued existence of such Encumbrance does not give rise to any reasonable likelihood of the
sale, forfeiture or loss of the asset affected by such Encumbrance) and for which the Issuer
maintains adequate cash reserves to pay such Encumbrance.

53

 

          (c) Indebtedness. The Issuer will not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or

membership interests to the extent of the aggregate amount of distributions made to the Issuer
pursuant to the Flow of Funds; (ii) purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any
membership interest in the Issuer held by or on behalf of Persons other than any Permitted Holder;

“Merger Transaction”), unless:

          (i) the resulting entity is a special purpose entity, the charter of which is
substantially similar to the LLC Agreement, and, after such Merger Transaction, payments
from such resulting entity to the Noteholders do not give rise to any withholding tax

not subject to taxation as a corporation or an association or a publicly traded partnership
taxable as a corporation;

          (ii) (A) such Merger Transaction has been unanimously approved by the board of managers
of the Issuer and (B) the surviving successor or transferee entity shall expressly assume
all of the obligations of the Issuer in and under this Indenture, the Equipment Notes and
each other Operative Agreement to which the Issuer is then a party (with the result that, in
the case of a transfer only, the Issuer thereupon will be released);

          (iii) both before, and immediately after giving effect to such Merger Transaction, no

          (h) Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Issuer will not, directly or
indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction (including, without limitation, the
purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the rendering of any service) with any

55

 

Affiliate of the Issuer, except upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Issuer
than could be obtained, at the time of such transaction or at the time of the execution of the
agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not
such an Affiliate, provided, that the foregoing restriction does not limit or apply to the
following:

          (i) any transaction in connection with the establishment of the Issuer, its initial
capitalization and the acquisition of its initial Portfolio or pursuant to the terms of the
Operative Agreements;

          (v) any payments of the types referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 5.02(d)
hereof and not prohibited thereunder; or

          (vi) the sale of Portfolio Railcars as part of a single transaction providing for the
redemption or defeasance of the Equipment Notes in whole in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture.

          (i) Limitation on the Issuance, Delivery and Sale of Equity Interests. Except as
expressly permitted by its LLC Agreement, the Issuer will not (1) issue, deliver or sell any Stock

          (B) contributions by the Permitted Holder of funds to the Issuer with which to
effect a redemption or discharge of the Equipment Notes upon any acceleration of the
Equipment Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no issuance, delivery, sale, transfer or other disposition of any
equity interest in the Issuer will be effective, and any such issuance, delivery, sale transfer or
other disposition will be void ab initio, if it would result in the Issuer being classified as an
association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax
purposes.

          (j) Bankruptcy and Insolvency.

          (i) The Issuer will promptly provide the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agency with
written notice of the institution of any proceeding by or against the

Issuer seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation,
winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of
its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of
debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver,
trustee or other similar official for all or for any substantial part of its property. The
Issuer will not take any action to waive, repeal, amend, vary, supplement or otherwise
modify its charter documents and including its LLC Agreement (except in accordance with the
next sentence) unless receiving the prior written consent of the Requisite Majority (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld) as well as a Rating Agency Confirmation in respect
thereof. The Issuer will not, without a Special Rating Agency Confirmation, take any action
to waive, repeal, amend, vary, supplement or otherwise modify the provision of its LLC
Agreement which requires action or consent of its special member or limits actions of the
Issuer with respect to voluntary insolvency proceedings or involuntary insolvency
proceedings of the Issuer.

          (ii) The Issuer shall cause each party to any Operative Agreement, and each party to
any other agreement to which the Issuer is a party that is incidental or related to any
Operative Agreement, that in either such case renders the Issuer a debtor to such party, to
covenant and agree that it shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day (or if
longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) after the payment in full of the
Equipment Notes, acquiesce, petition or otherwise, directly or indirectly, invoke or cause
the Issuer to invoke the process of any governmental authority for the purpose of commencing
or sustaining a case against the Issuer under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator
or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property or ordering

the termination of this Indenture.

          (k) Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest. The Issuer will duly and
punctually pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Equipment Notes in accordance

Issuer shall not be deemed to be employees for purposes of this Section 5.02(l).

          (m) Delivery of Rule 144A Information. To permit compliance with Rule 144A in
connection with offers and sales of Equipment Notes, the Issuer will promptly furnish upon request
of a Holder of an Equipment Note to such Holder and a prospective purchaser designated by such
Holder, the information required to be delivered under Rule 144A(d)(4) if at the time of such
request the Issuer is not a reporting company under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act.

          (n) Administrator. If at any time there is not a Person acting as Administrator, the
Issuer shall promptly appoint a qualified Person to perform any duties under this Indenture that
the Administrator is obligated to perform until a replacement Administrator assumes the duties of
the Administrator.

57

 

          (o) Ratings of Equipment Notes. For so long as any Equipment Notes are Outstanding,

          (p) Separate Entity Characteristics. The Issuer shall at all times:

          (i) not commingle its assets with those of any Person, including any Affiliate, except

          (viii) observe all limited liability company and other organizational formalities

arising out of and in connection with the conduct of the Issuer and the operation of its
business in sufficient detail to allow preparation of tax returns required to be prepared
and the maintenance of the Indenture Accounts;

          (xv) maintain bank and other accounts (other than the Indenture Accounts), if any,
separate from any other Person;

          (xvi) conduct its business in its own name; and

          (iii) A Railcar Disposition in the ordinary course of business (other than a Railcar
Disposition as a result of a Total Loss or a Purchase Option Disposition) so long as the
following conditions are complied with (a “Permitted Discretionary Sale”):

          (A) At the time of such Railcar Disposition, no Event of Default or Early
Amortization Event shall have occurred and then be continuing.

          (B) The Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) prior to such Railcar
Disposition, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, shall have identified replacement Railcars for the Issuer to
purchase meeting the criteria set forth in clauses “1” through “4” of clause (C)
below (Railcars meeting such criteria, “Qualifying Replacement Railcars”),

59

 

with such purchase expected to be made within 30 days of the date of the
discretionary sale.

          (C) Such Railcars

          (1) must be of comparable remaining economic useful life to the
Portfolio Railcars being sold,

          (2) must have an Appraisal showing an Initial Appraised Value,

          (3) must be under Lease with a remaining Lease term at least equal
to two-thirds of the Lease term of the Portfolio Railcars being sold, and

          (4) must have been manufactured by Trinity or an Affiliate thereof,
and must be purchased pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement.

          (D) With respect to the Portfolio Railcars to be sold pursuant to a Permitted
Discretionary Sale (such Portfolio Railcars being referred to below as the “Sold
Railcars”), each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied and the
Indenture Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer (or the
Manager on its behalf) certifying as to the satisfaction of such conditions:

          (1) The Sold Railcars must be purchased from the Issuer by a third
party that is not an Issuer Group Member.

          (2) The Net Disposition Proceeds realized in such sale must be at
least 105% of the product of the Railcar Advance Rate and the Adjusted
Value of such Sold Railcars.

          (3) Sold Railcars that were under Lease at the time of sale, if
being replaced, must be replaced by Qualifying Replacement Railcars under
Lease that generate at least the same amount of current monthly lease
revenue and have a remaining Lease term at least equal to two-thirds of
the Lease term of such Sold Railcars.

          (4) Sold Railcars that were not under Lease at the time of sale, if
being replaced, must be replaced by Qualifying Replacement Railcars as to
which, if not then under Lease, the Manager has a reasonable, good faith
expectation that such Qualifying Replacement Railcars will generate at
least the same amount of monthly lease revenue (once placed under Lease)
as the Manager would have expected for the Sold Railcars.

          (E) The Net Disposition Proceeds must be deposited into the Mandatory
Replacement Account.

60

 

          (F) Such Railcar Disposition, after giving effect to the expected reinvestment,
will not directly cause noncompliance with any Concentration Limit.

          (G) The Initial Appraised Value of the Qualifying Replacement Railcars acquired
in connection with a Permitted Discretionary Sale must at least equal the Adjusted
Value of the Sold Railcars at their time of sale (except to a de minimis extent).

          (H) The sum of (x) the Adjusted Value of the Portfolio Railcars to be sold in
such Railcar Disposition, (y) the aggregate sum of the Adjusted Values of all
Portfolio Railcars that the Issuer has sold in all Permitted Discretionary Sales and
Purchase Option Dispositions and (z) the aggregate Adjusted Value of all Portfolio
Railcars then subject to a Lease containing a purchase option, does not exceed 35%
of the highest aggregate Adjusted Value of all Portfolio Railcars held by the Issuer
at any particular time up to the related date of sale.

          (I) The Adjusted Value of the Portfolio Railcars to be sold in such Railcar
Disposition, in the aggregate with the aggregate sum of the Adjusted Values of all
Portfolio Railcars that the Issuer has sold in any Permitted Discretionary Sales or
Purchase Option Dispositions, does not exceed 15% of the average, for each of the
previous twelve Payment Dates, of the aggregate sum of the Adjusted Values of all
Portfolio Railcars for such Payment Dates (or, if fewer than twelve Payment Dates
have passed, such average for all such Payment Dates).

          (iv) With respect to a Permitted Railcar Disposition constituting a Purchase Option
Disposition or Involuntary Railcar Disposition, the Issuer will, if not electing to deposit
such proceeds directly into the Collections Account, deposit the related Net Disposition
Proceeds into the Optional Reinvestment Account for application, within the Replacement
Period, to a purchase of Qualifying Replacement Railcars in a Replacement Exchange (as
contemplated and provided in Section 3.05).

          (b) Railcar Acquisitions. The Issuer will not purchase or otherwise acquire a Railcar
(or an interest therein) other than the Initial Railcars or any interest therein, except that the
Issuer will be permitted to: (i) purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, one or
more Railcars constituting Qualifying Replacement Railcars in connection with any Replacement
Exchange, or (ii) acquire one or more additional Railcars pursuant to a capital contribution from
the Member, so long as, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) (except as indicated below), each of
the following requirements are satisfied on or prior to such purchase or other acquisition:

          (A) in the case of clause (i) only, no Event of Default or Early Amortization
Event shall have occurred and be continuing or would directly result therefrom;

61

 

          (B) after giving effect to the acquisition, the Portfolio will comply with the
Concentration Limits;

          (C) the Railcars being acquired have an Appraisal showing an Initial Appraised
Value;

          (D) the Purchase Price for each such Railcar does not exceed its Initial
Appraised Value;

          (E) the Railcars being acquired were manufactured by Trinity or an Affiliate,
and are acquired pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement;

          (F) except in connection with Railcars being acquired in a Replacement Exchange
for Portfolio Railcars that were not subject to a Lease at the time of the
disposition thereof by the Issuer, the Railcars being acquired are each subject to a
Permitted Lease; and all actions (including the applicable UCC, STB or Registrar
General of Canada filings) shall have been taken to cause the Railcars being
assigned to be subject to a first priority security interest in favor of the
Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that no such
actions will be required to be taken in Mexico); and

          (G) that the Railcars will be free and clear of Encumbrances other than
Permitted Encumbrances.

          (c) Permitted Railcar Acquisition. A Railcar acquisition by the Issuer complying with
the provisions in subsection (b) immediately above constitutes a “Permitted Railcar Acquisition”.
If two or more Railcars are being acquired in a Permitted Railcar Acquisition, the foregoing
requirements in subsection (b) will be determined on an aggregate basis.

          (d) Modification Payments and Capital Expenditures. The Issuer will not make any
capital expenditures for the purpose of effecting any optional improvement or modification of any
Portfolio Railcar or Parts outside of the ordinary course of business, except that the Issuer may
make Optional Modifications and Required Modifications in its discretion and subject to the
following limitations on the manner in which such Required Modifications and Optional Modifications
may be funded:

          (i) Required Modifications may be funded out of the Expense Account in accordance with
Section 3.06; and

          (ii) Optional Modifications may be funded from distributions to the Issuer pursuant to
the Flow of Funds, or from capital contributions to the Issuer.

In the case of any Optional Modification, the Issuer prior to undertaking such Optional
Modification shall have determined, based upon consultation with the Manager, that the Optional
Modification is not expected to decrease the value or marketability of the Portfolio Railcar as a
result of the expenditure on such Optional Modification.

62

 

          (e) Leases.

          (i) The Issuer will not surrender possession of any Portfolio Railcar to any Person
(other than the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement) other than for purposes of
maintenance or overhaul or pursuant to a Permitted Lease or for storage purposes pending the
Manager’s procurement of a Permitted Lease thereon.

          (ii) The Issuer will, and will cause the Manager in general to use its pro forma lease
agreement or agreements, as such pro forma lease agreement or agreements may be revised for
purposes of the Issuer specifically or generally from time to time by the Manager
(collectively, the “Pro Forma Lease”), for use by the Manager on behalf of the Issuer as a
starting point in the negotiation of Future Leases. However, with respect to any Future
Lease entered into in connection with (x) the renewal or extension of a related Lease,
(y) the leasing of a Portfolio Railcar to a Person that is or was a Lessee under a
pre-existing Lease, or (z) the leasing of a Portfolio Railcar to a Person that is or was a
Lessee under an operating lease of a Railcar that is being managed or serviced by the
Manager (such Future Lease, a “Renewal Lease”), a form of lease substantially similar to
such pre-existing Lease or operating lease (a “Precedent Lease”), as the case may be, may be
used by the Manager, in lieu of the Pro Forma Lease on behalf of the Issuer as a starting
point in the negotiation of such Future Lease. The terms of the Pro Forma Lease may be
revised from time to time by the Manager, provided that any such revisions shall be
consistent with a Lease originated thereunder being a Permitted Lease.

          (f) Concentration Limits. The Issuer will not sell, purchase, otherwise take any
action with respect to any Portfolio Railcar if entering into such proposed sale, or other action
would cause the Portfolio to no longer comply with the Concentration Limits; provided, that the
foregoing restriction shall not apply to the renewal by the Issuer of an Existing Lease. Also, the
Issuer will not consummate a Permitted Discretionary Sale if the effect of such action is or would
be to cause noncompliance with any Concentration Limit.

     Section 5.04 Operating Covenants. The Issuer covenants with the Indenture Trustee as
follows, provided that any of the following covenants with respect to the Portfolio Railcars shall
not be deemed to have been breached by virtue of any act or omission of a Lessee or sub-lessee, or
of any Person which has possession of a Portfolio Railcar for the purpose of repairs, maintenance,
modification or storage, or by virtue of any requisition, seizure, or confiscation of a Portfolio
Railcar (other than seizure or confiscation arising from a breach by the Issuer of such covenant)
(each, a “Third Party Event”), so long as (i) neither the Issuer nor the Manager has consented to
such Third Party Event; and (ii) the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) as the Lessor of such
Portfolio Railcar promptly and diligently takes such commercially reasonable actions as a leading
railcar operating lessor would reasonably take in respect of such Third Party Event, including, as
deemed appropriate (taking into account, among other things, the laws of the jurisdiction in which
such Portfolio Railcar is located or operated), seeking to compel such Lessee or other relevant
Person to remedy such Third Party Event or seeking to repossess the relevant Portfolio Railcar:

63

 

          (a) Ownership. The Issuer will (i) on all occasions on which the ownership of each
Portfolio Railcar is relevant, make it clear to third parties that title to the same is held by the
Issuer, and (ii) not do, or knowingly permit to be done, or omit, or knowingly permit to be
omitted, any act or thing which might reasonably be expected to jeopardize the rights of the Issuer
as owner of each Portfolio Railcar, except as contemplated by the Operative Agreements.

          (b) Compliance with Law; Maintenance of Permits. The Issuer will (i) comply in all
material respects with all Applicable Laws, (ii) obtain all material governmental (including
regulatory) registrations, certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations required for the use
and operation of the Portfolio Railcars owned by it, (iii) not cause or knowingly permit, directly
or indirectly, any Lessee to operate any Portfolio Railcar under any related Lease in any material
respect contrary to any Applicable Law, and (iv) not knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, any
Lessee not to obtain all material governmental (including regulatory) registrations, certificates,
licenses, permits and authorizations required for such Lessee’s use and operation of any Portfolio
Railcar under any related operating Lease.

          (c) Forfeiture. The Issuer will not do anything, and will not knowingly permit,
directly or indirectly, any Lessee to do anything, which may reasonably be expected to expose any
Portfolio Railcar to forfeiture, impoundment, detention, appropriation, damage or destruction
(other than any forfeiture, impoundment, detention or appropriation which is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings) unless (i) adequate resources have been made available by
the Issuer or the applicable Lessee for any payment which may arise or be required in connection
with such forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation or proceedings taken in respect
thereof, and (ii) such forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation or the continued
existence thereof does not give rise to any material likelihood of the assets to which such
forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation relates or any interest in such assets being
sold, permanently forfeited or otherwise lost. In the event of a forfeiture, impoundment,
detention or appropriation of such Portfolio Railcar not constituting a Total Loss, the Issuer will
use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt release of such Portfolio Railcar.

          (d) Maintenance of Assets. The Issuer will, with respect to each Portfolio Railcar
under Lease, cause, directly or indirectly, such Portfolio Railcar to be maintained in a state of
repair and condition consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading railcar
operating lessors with respect to similar railcars under lease, taking into consideration, among
other things, the identity of the relevant Lessee (including the credit standing and operating
experience thereof), the age and condition of the Portfolio Railcar and the jurisdiction in which
the Portfolio Railcar is or will be operated or in which the Lessee is based. In addition, the
Issuer will, with respect to each Portfolio Railcar that is not subject to a Lease, maintain such
Portfolio Railcar in a state of repair and condition consistent with the reasonable commercial
practice of leading railcar operating lessors with respect to railcars not under lease.

          (e) Notification of Loss, Theft, Damage or Destruction. The Issuer will notify the
Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, and the Manager, in writing, as soon as the Issuer becomes
aware of any loss, theft, damage or destruction to any Portfolio Railcar or Portfolio Railcars if
the potential cost of repair or replacement of such assets (without regard to any insurance claim
related thereto) may exceed $1,000,000.

64

 

          (f) Insurance. The Issuer covenants with the Indenture Trustee as follows:

          (i) Insurance. The Issuer will at all times after the Closing Date, at its own
expense, keep or cause the Insurance Manager under the Insurance Agreement to keep each
Portfolio Railcar insured with insurers of recognized responsibility with a rating of at
least A- by A.M. Best Company (or a comparable rating by a nationally or internationally
recognized rating group of comparable stature) or by other insurers approved in writing by
the Requisite Majority, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, in amounts and
against risks and with deductibles and terms and conditions not less beneficial to the
insured thereunder than the insurance, if any, maintained by the Manager with respect to
similar equipment which it owns or leases, but in no event shall such coverage be for
amounts or against risks less than the Prudent Industry Practice.

          (ii) Additional Insurance. In the event that the Issuer shall fail to maintain
insurance as herein provided, the Indenture Trustee may at its option, upon prior written
notice to the Issuer, provide such insurance and, in such event, the Issuer shall, upon
demand from time to time reimburse the Indenture Trustee for the cost thereof together with
interest from the date of payment thereof at the Stated Rate on the Equipment Notes, on the
amount of the cost to the Indenture Trustee of such insurance which the Issuer shall have
failed to maintain. If after the Indenture Trustee has provided such insurance, the Issuer
then obtains the coverage provided for in Section 5.04(f) which was replaced by the
insurance provided by the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer provides the Indenture Trustee
with evidence of such coverage reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee shall cancel the insurance it has provided pursuant to the first sentence
of this Section 5.04(f)(ii). In such event, the Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture
Trustee for all costs to the Indenture Trustee of cancellation, including without limitation
any short rate penalty, together with interest from the date of the Indenture Trustee’s
payment thereof at the Stated Rate on the Equipment Notes. In addition, at any time the
Indenture Trustee may at its own expense carry insurance with respect to its interest in the
Portfolio Railcars, provided that such insurance does not interfere with the Issuer’s
ability to insure the Portfolio Railcars as required by this Section 5.04(f) or adversely
affect the Issuer’s insurance or the cost thereof, it being understood that all salvage
rights to each Portfolio Railcar shall remain with the Issuer’s insurers at all times. Any
insurance payments received from policies maintained by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
the previous sentence shall be retained by the applicable Person obtaining such insurance
without reducing or otherwise affecting the Issuer’s obligations hereunder, other than with
respect to Portfolio Railcars, with respect to which such payments have been made.

          (g) No Accounts. Except as contemplated herein, the Issuer will not have an interest
in any deposit account or securities account (other than the Indenture Accounts and other than any
account which may be required to be established as a necessary consequence of or in order to invest
in or otherwise acquire a Permitted Investment) unless (i) any such further account and the
Issuer’s interest therein shall be further charged or otherwise secured in favor of the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (ii) any such further account is held in the
custody of and under the “control” (as such term is defined in the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee.

65

 

          (h) Notices. If at any time any creditor of the Issuer seeks to enforce any judgment
or order of any competent court or other competent tribunal against any of the Collateral, the
Issuer shall (i) promptly give written notice to such creditor and to such court or tribunal of the
Indenture Trustee’s interests in the Collateral, (ii) if at any time an examiner, administrator,
administrative receiver, receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or other similar
appointee (an “Insolvency Appointee”) is appointed in respect of any secured creditor or any of
their assets, promptly give notice to such appointee of the Indenture Trustee’s interests in the
Collateral and (iii) notify the Indenture Trustee thereof in either case of clauses (i) and (ii)
above. The Issuer will not voluntarily appoint or cause to be appointed or commence any proceeding
to appoint any Insolvency Appointee over all or any of its property.

          (i) Compliance with Agreements. The Issuer will comply with and perform all its
obligations under this Indenture, the Issuer Documents and the other Operative Agreements to which
the Issuer is a party.

          (j) Information. The Issuer will at all times give to the Indenture Trustee such
information as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require for the purpose of the discharge of the
powers, rights, duties, authorities and discretions vested in it hereunder, under any other Issuer
Document or by operation of Applicable Law.

          (k) Further Assurances.

          (i) The Issuer will comply with all reasonable directions given to it by the Indenture
Trustee to perfect the Security Interests in the Collateral (except to the extent provided
in the Granting Clauses herein). The Issuer will execute such further documents and do all
acts and things as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require at any time or times to give
effect to this Indenture, the Issuer Documents and the relevant Operative Agreements.

          (ii) Without limiting the foregoing, from time to time, the Issuer shall authorize and
file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation
statements, and shall make or cause to be made such filings with the STB and with the
Registrar General of Canada and take or cause to be taken such similar actions as are
described in the Granting Clauses under “Priority”, all in such manner and in such places as
may be required by law (or deemed desirable by the Indenture Trustee) to fully perfect,
preserve, maintain and protect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee for the
benefit of the Secured Parties in the Portfolio Railcars, related Leases and other
Collateral granted hereby (including without limitation any such Portfolio Railcars acquired
by the Issuer from time to time after the Closing Date), including in the proceeds thereof,
it being understood that the Issuer shall not be required to make (to to cause to be made)
any filings in Mexico. The Issuer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Indenture
Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided
above, following such filing in accordance herewith. In the event that the Issuer fails to
perform its obligations under this subsection, the Indenture Trustee may perform such
obligations, at the expense of the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby authorizes the Indenture
Trustee and grants to the Indenture Trustee an irrevocable power of attorney to take any and
all steps in order to perform such obligations in the Issuer’s

66

 

own name and on behalf of the Issuer, as are necessary or desirable, in the
determination of the Indenture Trustee, as applicable.

          (l) Stamping of the Leases. Within thirty (30) days after the applicable Delivery
Date with respect to a Lease (or, in the case of a Future Lease, the date of origination of such
Future Lease), the Issuer will cause the Manager to stamp on or otherwise affix to each Rider
evidencing the same, the following legend:

     “This Lease is subject to a security interest in favor of Wilmington Trust Company, as
Indenture Trustee, pursuant to the Indenture dated as of October 25, 2010 between Trinity
Rail Leasing 2010 LLC, and Wilmington Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee.”

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) execute and deliver to
the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, such financing or continuation statements
or continuation statements in lieu, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices,
as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request, in order to
perfect and preserve the pledge, transfer, assignment, Security Interests granted or purported to
be granted hereby, (ii) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other
instrument, deliver and pledge to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, such
note or instrument, duly indorsed or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment in blank and undated, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee, and (iii) deliver to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, promptly
upon receipt thereof all instruments representing or evidencing any of the Collateral, duly
endorsed or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and
undated, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee.

          (m) No Effect on Security Interest. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture or
other Operative Agreements, the Issuer will not agree to the amendment of any Issuer Document
unless the Indenture Trustee has confirmed to the Issuer that it has received from legal counsel
reasonably acceptable to it an opinion to the effect that such amendment will not result in the
Security Interests being prejudiced (the reasonable expenses of such opinion to be paid by the
Issuer).

          (n) Restrictions on Amendments to Assigned Agreements and Certain Other Actions.
(i) The Issuer will not take, or knowingly permit to be taken, any action which would amend,
terminate or discharge or prejudice the validity or effectiveness or priority of the Security
Interests or permit any party to any of the Issuer Documents whose obligations form part of the
security created by this Indenture to be released from such obligations except, in each case as
permitted or contemplated by this Indenture, or the other Issuer Documents or the Operative
Agreements, (ii) without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee (acting at the
Direction of the Requisite Majority), the Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, (A) cancel or
terminate, or consent to or accept any cancellation or termination of, or amend, modify or change
in any manner, any Assigned Agreement or any term or condition thereof or (B) waive any default
under, or any breach of or noncompliance with any term or condition of, any Assigned Agreement or
authorize or approve, or consent to, any of the foregoing and (iii) the Issuer will not knowingly
take, or knowingly permit to be taken, any action which, other than the

67

 

performance of its obligations under the Issuer Documents and the Operative Agreements, would
reasonably be expected to result in the lowering or withdrawal of the then current rating of any
Equipment Note by the Rating Agency.

          (o) Subsidiaries. Except with the consent of the Indenture Trustee (acting at the
Direction of the Requisite Majority), the Issuer will not have or establish any Subsidiaries.

          (p) Restriction on Asset Dealings. The Issuer shall not sell, transfer, release or
otherwise dispose of any of, or grant options, warrants or other rights with respect to, any of its
assets to any Person other than as expressly permitted or contemplated in the Operative Agreements.

          (q) Organizational Documents. Subject to Section 5.02(j), the Issuer shall not amend,
modify or supplement its organizational documents or change its jurisdiction of organization
without the consent of the Requisite Majority, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          (r) Management Agreement and Administrative Services Agreement. The Issuer shall at
all times be a party to the Management Agreement and shall, if necessary, take any steps required
of it in connection with the appointment of any Successor Manager thereunder. The Issuer shall at
all times be a party to the Administrative Services Agreement or a substitute agreement
substantially similar thereto.

          (s) Insurance Agreement. The Issuer shall at all times be a party to the Insurance
Agreement and shall, if necessary, take any steps required of it in connection with the appointment
of any Successor Insurance Manager thereunder.

          (t) Condition. The Issuer, at its own cost and expense, shall maintain, repair and
keep each Portfolio Railcar, and cause the Manager under the Management Agreement to maintain,
repair and keep each Portfolio Railcar, (i) according to Prudent Industry Practice and in all
material respects, in good working order, and in good physical condition for railcars of a similar
age and usage, normal wear and tear excepted, (ii) in a manner in all material respects consistent
with maintenance practices used by the Manager, in respect of railcars owned, leased or managed by
the Manager similar in type to such Portfolio Railcar or with respect to any Portfolio Railcar that
is subject to a Net Lease, maintenance practices used by the applicable Lessee, in respect of
railcars similar in type to such Portfolio Railcar used by such Lessee on its domestic routes in
the United States (provided, however that after the return to the Manager of any Portfolio Railcar
which was subject to a Net Lease immediately prior to such return, such Portfolio Railcar shall be
maintained and repaired in all material respects in a manner consistent with maintenance practices
used by the Manager in respect of railcars owned, leased or managed by the Manager similar in type
to such Portfolio Railcar), (iii) in accordance with all manufacturer’s warranties in effect but
only to the extent that the lack of compliance therewith would reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the coverage thereunder and in accordance with all applicable provisions, if any, of
insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 5.04 and (iv) in compliance in all
material respects with any applicable laws and regulations from time to time in effect, including,
without limitation, the Field Manual of the AAR, FRA rules and regulations and Interchange Rules as
they apply to the maintenance and

68

 

operation of the Portfolio Railcars in interchange regardless of upon whom such applicable
laws and regulations are nominally imposed; provided, however, that, so long as the Manager or,
with respect to any Portfolio Railcar subject to a Lease which is a Net Lease, the applicable
Lessee, as the case may be, is similarly contesting such law or regulation with respect to all
other similar equipment owned or operated by Manager or, with respect to any Portfolio Railcar
subject to a Net Lease, the applicable Lessee, as the case may be, the Issuer (or such Lessee) may,
in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, contest the validity or
application of any such standard, rule or regulation in any manner that does not (w) materially
interfere with the use, possession, operation or return of any of the Portfolio Railcars,
(x) materially adversely affect the rights or interests of the Indenture Trustee in the Portfolio
Railcars, (y) expose any Secured Party or the Indenture Trustee to criminal sanctions or
(z) violate any maintenance requirements contained in any insurance policy required to be
maintained by the Issuer under this Indenture if such violation would reasonably be expected to
adversely affect the coverage thereunder; provided further, that the Issuer shall promptly notify
the Indenture Trustee in reasonable detail of any such contest upon the Issuer or the Manager
becoming aware thereof. In no event shall the Issuer discriminate in any material respect as to
the use or maintenance of any Portfolio Railcar (including the periodicity of maintenance or
recordkeeping in respect of such Portfolio Railcar) as compared to equipment of a similar nature
which the Manager owns or manages. The Issuer will maintain in all material respects all records,
logs and other materials required by relevant industry standards or any governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Portfolio Railcars required to be maintained in respect of any
Portfolio Railcar.

          (u) [Reserved].

          (v) Use. The Issuer shall be entitled to the possession of the Portfolio Railcars and
to the use of the Portfolio Railcars by it or any Affiliate in the United States and subject to the
remaining provisions of this subsection, Canada and Mexico, only in the manner for which the
Portfolio Railcars were designed and intended and so as to subject the Portfolio Railcars only to
ordinary wear and tear. In no event shall the Issuer use, store or permit the use or storage of
any Portfolio Railcar in any jurisdiction not included in the insurance coverage required by
Section 5.04(f). The Portfolio Railcars shall be used primarily on domestic routes in the United
States and on routes in Canada, and in no event shall the mileage usage of the Portfolio Railcars
in interchange within Mexico exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total mileage usage of the
Portfolio Railcars in interchange in the aggregate (as determined by mileage records and measured
at the end of each calendar year).

          (w) Custody of Portfolio Leases. Promptly after entering into a Future Lease, the
Issuer shall deliver a Rider constituting a Chattel Paper Original to the Indenture Trustee in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

          (x) Portfolio Railcar Total Loss. In the event that any Portfolio Railcar shall
suffer a Total Loss, the Issuer shall (or shall cause the Manager to) promptly and fully inform the
Indenture Trustee of such Total Loss once becoming aware of the same.

          (y) Certain Reports. No later than ten Business Days following April 30, 2011 (or
December 31, 2010 with respect to clause (iii) below), and no later than ten Business Days
following each April 30 (or each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, with

69

 

respect to clause (iii) below) thereafter, the Issuer will furnish (or cause the Manager under
the Management Agreement to furnish) to the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agency an accurate
statement, as of the preceding December 31 (or as of the preceding calendar quarter with respect to
clause (iii) below) (i) showing the amount, description and reporting marks of the Portfolio
Railcars, the amount, description and reporting marks of all Portfolio Railcars that may have
suffered a Total Loss during the twelve months ending on such December 31 (or since the Closing
Date, in the case of the first such statement), and such other information regarding the condition
or repair of the Portfolio Railcars as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request, (ii) stating
that in the case of all Portfolio Railcars repainted during the period covered by such statement,
the markings required by Section 2.2(i) of the Management Agreement shall have been preserved or
replaced, (iii) showing the percentage of use in Canada and Mexico based on the total mileage
traveled by the Portfolio Railcars for the prior calendar quarter as reported to the Manager by
railroads (or Lessees in the case of Net Leases, as applicable) and (iv) stating that, except as
disclosed therein, the Issuer is not aware of any condition of any Portfolio Railcar which would
cause such Portfolio Railcar not to comply in any material respect with the rules and regulations
of the FRA and the interchange rules of the Field Manual of the AAR as they apply to the
maintenance and operation of the Portfolio Railcars in interchange and any other requirements
hereunder.

          (z) Inspection.

          (i) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Manager Termination Event, the
Indenture Trustee, at the Direction of the Requisite Majority, together with the agents,
representatives, accountants and legal and other advisors of each of the foregoing
(collectively, the “Inspection Representatives”), shall have the right to (A) conduct a
field examination of a reasonable representative sample of the Portfolio Railcars, which may
not in any event in the first instance exceed 100 Portfolio Railcars (each such inspection,
a “Unit Inspection”), (B) (I) inspect all documents (the “Related Documents”), including,
without limitation, all related Leases, insurance policies, warranties or other agreements,
relating to the Portfolio Railcars and the other Collateral (each such inspection, a
“Related Document Inspection”) and (II) inspect each of the Issuer’s and the Manager’s
books, records and databases (which shall include reasonable access to the Issuer’s and the
Manager’s computers and computer records to the extent necessary to determine compliance
with the Operative Agreements) (collectively, the “Books and Records”) with respect to the
Portfolio Railcars and the other Collateral and the Related Documents (including without
limitation data supporting all reporting requirements under the Operative Agreements) (each
such inspection, a “Books and Records Inspection”) and (C) discuss (I) the affairs, finances
and accounts of the Issuer (with respect to itself) and the Manager (with respect to itself
and the Issuer) and (II) the Portfolio Railcars and the other Collateral, the Related
Documents and the Books and Records, in each case with the principal executive officer and
the principal financial officer of each of the Issuer and the Manager, as applicable (the
foregoing clauses (I) and (II) a “Company Inspection”) (the Unit Inspections, the Related
Document Inspections, the Books and Records Inspections and the Company Inspections
described in clauses (A), (B) and (C), collectively, the “Inspections”).

70

 

          (ii) All Inspections shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer (including the
reasonable legal and accounting fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee,
and its Inspection Representatives). All Inspections shall be conducted upon reasonable
request and notice to the Issuer (with respect to itself) and the Manager (with respect to
itself and the Issuer) and shall (A) be conducted during normal business hours, (B) be
subject to the Issuer’s and the Manager’s customary security procedures, if any, and (C) not
unreasonably disrupt the Issuer’s or the Manager’s business.

          (iii) If in connection with or as a result of the initial Railcar Inspection, the
Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that an Inspection Issue (as defined
below) has occurred, then the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to conduct additional
Inspections from time to time consisting of additional samplings of Portfolio Railcars in
numbers that the Indenture Trustee or its Inspection Representative determines to be a
reasonable sampling (each, an “Additional Inspection” and collectively, “Additional
Inspections”) sufficient to confirm the scope of any such Inspection Issues. “Inspection
Issue” means the discovery that a material portion of the Portfolio Railcars inspected are
not being used or maintained in a manner that complies with the requirements of this
Indenture.

          Without prejudice to the right to conduct Inspections, all parties granted inspection rights
hereunder shall confer with a view toward coordinating their conduct with respect to the
Inspections in order to minimize the costs thereof and business disruption attendant thereto.

          (aa) Modifications.

          (i) Required Modifications. In the event a Required Modification to a
Portfolio Railcar is required, the Issuer agrees to make or cause to be made such Required
Modification at its own expense; provided, that the Issuer (or applicable Lessee) may, in
good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, contest the validity or
application of the law, rule, requirement or regulation requiring such Required Modification
in any manner that does not (w) materially interfere with the use, possession, operation,
maintenance or return of any Portfolio Railcar, (x) materially adversely affect the rights
or interests of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in the Portfolio Railcars, (y) expose
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to criminal sanctions, or (z) violate any maintenance
requirements contained in any insurance policy required to be maintained by the Issuer under
this Indenture if such violation would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
coverage thereunder; provided further, that the Issuer shall notify (or cause to be
notified) the Indenture Trustee thereof, which notice shall also set forth the time period
for the making of such Required Modification and the Issuer’s or Manager’s reasonable
estimate of the cost thereof.

          (ii) Optional Modifications. The Issuer at any time may or may permit a Lessee
to, in its discretion and at its own or such Lessee’s cost and expense, modify, alter or
improve any Portfolio Railcar in a manner which is not a Required Modification; provided
that (A) no such optional modification shall diminish the fair market value,

71

 

utility or remaining economic useful life of such Portfolio Railcar below the fair
market value, utility or remaining economic useful life thereof immediately prior to such
optional modification, in more than a de minimis respect, assuming such Portfolio Railcar
was then at least in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture
and (B) the Issuer, or the Manager on its behalf, shall conclude in good faith that the
proposed optional modification is likely to enhance the marketability of the Portfolio
Railcar (or such optional modification is requested by a Lessee).

ARTICLE VI

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

     Section 6.01 Acceptance of Trusts and Duties. If a Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. The duties and
responsibilities of the Indenture Trustee shall be as expressly set forth herein, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee accepts the trusts hereby created and applicable to it and agrees to perform the
same but only upon the terms of this Indenture and agrees to receive and disburse all moneys
received by it in accordance with the terms hereof. The Indenture Trustee in its individual
capacity shall not be answerable or accountable under any circumstances, except for its own willful
misconduct or negligence or bad faith or breach of its representations, warranties and/or covenants
and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action or inaction of the Issuer or any other
parties to any of the Operative Agreements.

     Section 6.02 Absence of Duties. The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements
on the part of any Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee, upon written
request, shall furnish to each Noteholder, promptly upon receipt thereof, duplicates or copies of
all reports, Notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements and other instruments
furnished to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

     Section 6.03 Representations or Warranties. The Indenture Trustee does not make and
shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty as to the validity, legality or
enforceability of this Indenture, the Equipment Notes, any other securities or any other document
or instrument or as to the correctness of any statement contained in any thereof, except that the
Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity hereby represents and warrants (i) that each such
specified document to which it is a party has been or will be duly executed and delivered by one of
its officers who is and will be duly authorized to execute and deliver such document on its behalf,
and (ii) this Indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of WTC, enforceable against WTC
in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally.

     Section 6.04 Reliance; Agents; Advice of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall incur
no liability to anyone acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent,
order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine

72

 

and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Indenture Trustee may
accept a copy of a resolution of, in the case of the Issuer, and in the case of any other party to
any Operative Agreement, the governing body of such Person, certified in an accompanying Officer’s
Certificate as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence that such
resolution has been duly adopted and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or
matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Indenture
Trustee shall be entitled to receive and may for all purposes hereof conclusively rely on a
certificate, signed by an officer of any duly authorized Person, as to such fact or matter, and
such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Indenture Trustee for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish
to the Manager or the Administrator upon written request such information and copies of such
documents as the Indenture Trustee may have and as are necessary for the Manager or the
Administrator to perform its duties under Articles II and III hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall
assume, and shall be fully protected in assuming, that the Issuer is authorized by its
constitutional documents to enter into this Indenture and to take all action permitted to be taken
by it pursuant to the provisions hereof, and shall not inquire into the authorization of the Issuer
with respect thereto.

     The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes
or omits to take in accordance with the Direction of the Holders in accordance herewith relating to
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this
Indenture.

     The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the
Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for
the supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it
hereunder.

     The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel as to any matter relating to this Indenture and
any Opinion of Counsel or any advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and
in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel.

     The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in
relation hereto, at the request, order or Direction of any of the Holders, pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee
security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred therein or thereby.

     The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of
any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and

73

 

none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall in any event require the Indenture
Trustee to perform, or be responsible or liable for the manner of performance of, any obligations
of the Issuer or the Administrator under this Indenture or any of the Operative Agreements.

     The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any losses or Taxes (except for Taxes relating
to any compensation, fees or commissions of any entity acting in its capacity as Indenture Trustee
hereunder) or in connection with the selection of Permitted Investments or for any investment
losses resulting from Permitted Investments unless the entity that is the Indenture Trustee is the
issuer or the obligor of such a Permitted Investment.

     When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of
Default specified in Section 4.01(f) or 4.01(g) hereof, such expenses (including the fees and
expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating to creditors’ rights generally.

     The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such event or the
Indenture Trustee receives written notice of such event from the Issuer, the Administrator or
Noteholders owning Equipment Notes aggregating not less than 10% of the Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Equipment Notes.

     The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the performance of the Issuer, the
Manager, the Administrator or any other party to the Operative Agreements, nor shall it have any
liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such parties. The Indenture Trustee
shall have no liability in connection with compliance by the Issuer, the Manager, the Administrator
or any Lessee under a Lease with statutory or regulatory requirements related to any Railcar or any
Lease. The Indenture Trustee shall not make or be deemed to have made any representations or
warranties with respect to any Railcar or any Lease or the validity or sufficiency of any
assignment or other disposition of any Railcar or any Lease.

     The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment reasonably made in good
faith by an officer or officers of the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in
making such judgment.

     Except as expressly set forth in the Operative Agreements, the Indenture Trustee shall not be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or
other paper document, unless any such Operative Agreement directs the Indenture Trustee to make
such investigation.

     The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the
Indenture Accounts in the absence of timely and specific written investment direction from the
Administrator or as expressly provided herein. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable
for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon in accordance with the
Operative Agreements. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred

74

 

as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity in accordance
with the Operative Agreements or by any other Person or the failure of the Administrator to provide
timely written investment direction.

     Section 6.05 Not Acting in Individual Capacity. The Indenture Trustee acts hereunder
solely as trustee unless otherwise expressly provided; and all Persons, other than the Noteholders
to the extent expressly provided in this Indenture, having any claim against the Indenture Trustee
by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby shall look, subject to the lien and priorities of
payment as herein provided, only to the property of the Issuer for payment or satisfaction thereof.

     Section 6.06 No Compensation from Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee agrees that it
shall have no right against the Noteholders for any fee as compensation for its services hereunder.

     Section 6.07 Notice of Defaults. As promptly and soon as practicable after, and in
any event within thirty (30) days after, the occurrence of any Default hereunder, the Indenture
Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Issuer and the Noteholders holding Equipment Notes, notice of
such Default hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, unless
such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a
Default on the payment of the interest, principal, or premium, if any, on any Equipment Note, the
Indenture Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust
committee of Responsible Officers of the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Noteholders.

     Section 6.08 Indenture Trustee May Hold Securities. The Indenture Trustee, any Paying
Agent, the Note Registrar or any of their Affiliates or any other agent in their respective
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of securities and, may otherwise
deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee,
Paying Agent, Note Registrar or such other agent.

     Section 6.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be an
Indenture Trustee which shall meet the Eligibility Requirements. If such corporation publishes
reports of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state,
territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section 6.09, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so published. In
case at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 6.09 to act as Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall resign immediately as
Indenture Trustee in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.01 hereof.

     Section 6.10 Reports by the Issuer. The Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief certificate from the principal
executive officer, principal accounting officer or principal financial officer of the
Administrator, as applicable, as to his or her knowledge of the Issuer’s compliance with all
conditions and covenants under this Indenture (it being understood that for purposes of this
Section 6.10, such

75

 

compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice
provided under this Indenture).

     Section 6.11 Compensation. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Indenture
Trustee from time to time, and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to, the fees and expenses
separately agreed in writing between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, and will further pay or
reimburse the Indenture Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions hereof
or any other documents executed in connection herewith (including the reasonable compensation and
the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its
employ).

     Section 6.12 Certain Rights of the Requisite Majority. Each of the Indenture Trustee
and by its acceptance of the Equipment Notes, the Noteholders, hereby agrees that, if the Indenture
Trustee shall fail to act in accordance with Direction by the Requisite Majority (with respect to
the Equipment Notes as a whole) at any time at which it is so required to act hereunder or under
any other Operative Agreement, then the Requisite Majority shall be entitled to take such action
directly in its own capacity or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee. If the Indenture Trustee fails
to act in accordance with Direction by the Requisite Majority when so required to act under any
Operative Agreement, then the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the further Direction of the Requisite
Majority, irrevocably appoint the Requisite Majority, and any authorized agent thereof, with full
power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and
authority in the name of the Indenture Trustee or its own name, to take any and all actions that
the Indenture Trustee is authorized to take under any Operative Agreement, to the extent the
Indenture Trustee has failed to take such action when and as required under such Operative
Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Issuer, the Manager, the Administrator and

a successor has been appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof. The Requisite Majority may at any
time remove the Indenture Trustee without cause by an instrument in writing delivered to the

76

 

     Section 7.02 Appointment of Successor.

          (a) In the case of the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee under Section 7.01
hereof, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee; provided that the
Requisite Majority may appoint, within one (1) year after such resignation or removal, a successor
Indenture Trustee which may be other than the successor Indenture Trustee appointed by the Issuer,
and such successor Indenture Trustee appointed by the Issuer shall be superseded by the successor
Indenture Trustee so appointed by the Requisite Majority. If a successor Indenture Trustee shall
not have been appointed and accepted its appointment hereunder within sixty (60) days after the
Indenture Trustee gives notice of resignation or is removed, the retiring or removed Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator, the Manager or the Requisite Majority may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee. Any
successor Indenture Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be
superseded by any successor Indenture Trustee appointed by the Requisite Majority as provided in
the first sentence of this paragraph within one (1) year from the date of the appointment by such
court.

          (b) Any successor Indenture Trustee, however appointed, shall promptly execute and deliver to
the Issuer, the Manager, the Administrator and the predecessor Indenture Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Indenture
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Indenture Trustee, without further act, shall
become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of such
predecessor Indenture Trustee hereunder in the trusts hereunder applicable to it with like effect
as if originally named the Indenture Trustee herein; provided that, upon the written request of
such successor Indenture Trustee, such predecessor Indenture Trustee shall, upon payment of all
amounts due and owing to it, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Indenture Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed applicable to it, all the estates, properties,
rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor Indenture Trustee, and such predecessor Indenture
Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor Indenture Trustee all
moneys or other property then held by such predecessor Indenture Trustee hereunder solely for the
benefit of the Equipment Notes.

          (c) If a successor Indenture Trustee is to be appointed with respect to only a part of the
predecessor Indenture Trustee duties hereunder, the Issuer, the predecessor Indenture Trustee and
the successor Indenture Trustees shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which
shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Indenture Trustee as to which the predecessor
Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Indenture Trustee,
and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide
for or facilitate the administration of the Equipment Notes hereunder by more than one Indenture
Trustee.

          (d) Each Indenture Trustee shall be an Eligible Institution and shall meet the Eligibility
Requirements, if there be such an institution willing, able and legally qualified to perform the
duties of an Indenture Trustee hereunder; provided that the Rating Agency shall receive notice of
any replacement Indenture Trustee.

77

 

          (e) Any corporation into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation to which substantially all the
business of the Indenture Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of paragraph (d)
of this Section, be the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture without further act.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNITY

     Section 8.01 Indemnity. The Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee (and its
officers, directors, employees and agents) for, and hold it harmless from and against, any loss,
liability, claim, obligation, damage, injury, penalties, actions, suits, judgments or expense
(including attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its
part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and
its duties under this Indenture and the Equipment Notes, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or
any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without negligence
or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted to be taken
in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished hereunder, or the failure to furnish any such
Officer’s Certificate required to be furnished hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the
Holders, the Issuer and the Manager and, in the case of any such claim in excess of 5% of the
Adjusted Value of the Portfolio Railcars, the Rating Agency, promptly of any claim asserted against
the Indenture Trustee for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that failure to provide
such notice shall not invalidate any right to indemnity hereunder except to the extent the Issuer
is prejudiced by such delay. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Indenture Trustee shall
cooperate in the defense (unless the Indenture Trustee determines that an actual or potential
conflict of interest exists, in which case the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to retain
separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel). The
Issuer need not pay for any settlements made without its consent; provided that such consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnity against any
loss or liability incurred by the Indenture Trustee through negligence or bad faith.

     Section 8.02 Noteholders’ Indemnity. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled,
subject to such Indenture Trustee’s duty during a Default to act with the required standard of
care, to be indemnified by the Holders of the Equipment Notes before proceeding to exercise any
right or power under this Indenture or the Management Agreement at the request or Direction of such
Holders.

     Section 8.03 Survival. The provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof shall survive
the termination of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee.

          (b) No Supplement shall be entered into under this Section 9.01 unless the Rating Agency shall
have received prior written notice thereof and, except as set forth in the proviso at the end of
this sentence, the Issuer shall have obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation in respect thereof;
provided, that no such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required if such Supplement shall have
been entered into by the Indenture Trustee at the Direction of a Requisite Majority.

     Section 9.02 Supplemental Indentures with the Consent of Noteholders.

          (a) With the consent evidenced by a Direction of a Requisite Majority, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee may enter into a Supplement hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Equipment
Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture or the
Equipment Notes; provided, however, that no such Supplement shall,

79

the Direction of a Requisite Majority for the Equipment Notes then Outstanding:

          (i) reduce the principal amount of any Equipment Note or the rate of interest thereon,
change the priority of any payments required pursuant to this Indenture or amend or
otherwise modify the Flow of Funds except as permitted pursuant to Section 9.02(b),
or the date on which, or the amount of which, or the place of payment where, or the coin or
currency in which, any Equipment Note or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the
right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Final
Maturity Date thereof;

          (ii) reduce the percentage of Holders of Outstanding Equipment Notes required for (x)
the consent required for delivery of any Supplement to this Indenture, (y) the consent
required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain
Events of Default hereunder and their consequences as provided for in this Indenture or
(z) the consent required to waive any payment default on the Equipment Notes;

          (iii) modify any provision relating to any Supplement or this Indenture which specifies
that such provision cannot be modified or waived without the Direction of the Holder of each
Outstanding Equipment Note affected thereby;

          (iv) modify or alter the definition of the term “Requisite Majority” (including,
without limitation, the percentages therein);

          (v) impair or adversely affect the Collateral except as otherwise permitted in this
Indenture;

          (vi) modify or alter the provisions of this Indenture relating to mandatory
prepayments;

          (vii) permit the creation of any Encumbrance ranking prior to or on a parity with the
Encumbrance of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Collateral or terminate the
Encumbrance of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the
Holder of any Equipment Note of the security afforded by the Encumbrance of this Indenture;
or

          (viii) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such a manner as to affect the
amount or timing of any payments of interest or principal due on any Equipment Note.

Prior to the execution of any Supplement issued pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Issuer
shall provide a written notice to the Rating Agency setting forth in general terms the substance of
any such Supplement.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, each Noteholder, hereby irrevocably
agrees that, in connection with the appointment and engagement of a Successor

80

 

Manager and as contemplated in the last paragraph of the Granting Clauses hereof, the
Indenture Trustee acting at the Direction of the Requisite Majority acting in its sole discretion
shall have the right, without the consent of the Issuer, any Noteholder or any other Person, to
increase the Management Fee and/or pay to the Manager an incentive fee, add the payment of such
amounts to and/or change the priority of distribution of such amounts in, the Flow of Funds and
amend this Indenture to the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing.

          (c) Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any Supplement
pursuant to this Section, the Issuer shall mail to the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the
Rating Agency, a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such Supplement, together
with a copy of the text of such Supplement. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
Supplement.

ARTICLE X

MODIFICATION AND WAIVER

     Section 10.01 Modification and Waiver with Consent of Holders. In the event that the
Indenture Trustee receives a request for its consent to an amendment, modification or waiver under
this Indenture, the Equipment Notes or any Operative Agreement relating to the Equipment Notes, the
Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of such proposed amendment, modification or waiver to each
Noteholder asking whether or not to consent to such amendment, modification or waiver if such
Noteholder’s consent is required pursuant to this Indenture; provided that any amendment,
modification or waiver of the provisions described in Section 9.02 hereof is not permitted
without the consent of each Noteholder required thereby; provided further, however, that any Event
of Default may be waived in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof. The foregoing, however, shall not
prevent the Issuer from amending any Lease of a Railcar, provided that such amendment is otherwise
permitted by this Indenture and the Management Agreement.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 10.01 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, modification or waiver, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. Any such amendment, modification or
waiver approved by the Direction of a Requisite Majority (and, if applicable, as to which Rating
Agency Confirmation is given) will be binding on all Noteholders.

     The Issuer shall give the Rating Agency prior notice of any amendment under this Section 10.01
and any amendments of its constitutive documents by the Issuer, and, after an amendment under this
Section 10.01 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders and the Rating Agency
a notice briefly describing such amendment. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment.

     After an amendment, modification or waiver under this Section 10.01 becomes effective,
it shall bind every Holder, whether or not notation thereof is made on any Equipment Note held by
such Holder.

81

 

     Section 10.02 Modification Without Consent of Holders. Subject to
Section 9.01 hereof, the Indenture Trustee may agree, without the consent of any
Noteholder, to any modification (other than those referred to in Section 10.01) of any
provision of any Operative Agreement or of the relevant Equipment Notes to correct a manifest error
or an error which is of a formal, minor or technical nature. Any such modification shall be
notified to the Holders as soon as practicable thereafter and shall be binding on all the Holders.

     Section 10.03 Subordination and Priority of Payments. The subordination provisions
contained in the Flow of Funds and Article XI hereof may not be amended or modified without the
consent of each Noteholder of the Equipment Notes. In no event shall the provisions set forth in
the Flow of Funds relating to the priority of the Service Provider Fees and Operating Expenses be
amended or modified. The foregoing sentences in each case are subject to the provisions of
Section 9.02(b).

     Section 10.04 Execution of Amendments by Indenture Trustee. In executing, or
accepting the additional trusts created by, any amendment or modification to this Indenture
permitted by this Article X or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this
Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not
be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

ARTICLE XI

SUBORDINATION

     Section 11.01 Subordination.

          (a) Each Noteholder and Service Provider agrees that its claims against the Issuer for payment
of amounts are subordinate to any claims ranking in priority thereto as set forth in the Flow of
Funds hereof, including any post-petition interest (each such prior claim, a “Senior Claim”), which
subordination shall continue until the holder of such Senior Claim (a “Senior Claimant”), or the
Indenture Trustee on its behalf, has received the full cash amount of such Senior Claim. Each
Noteholder and Service Provider is also obligated to hold for the benefit of the Senior Claimant
any amounts received by such Noteholder or Servicer Provider, as the case may be, which, under the
terms of this Indenture, should have been paid to or on behalf of the Senior Claimant and to pay
over such amounts to the Indenture Trustee for application as provided in the Flow of Funds. Each
Noteholder also agrees to execute and deliver such instruments and documents, and take all further
action, that a Senior Claimant may reasonable request in order to effectuate the above. Each
Noteholder’s right with respect to any Collateral shall be subordinated to the rights of Senior
Claimants. Amounts deposited in any Indenture Account for a defeasance of the Equipment Notes or
for an Optional Redemption of the Equipment Notes will not be subject to the foregoing
subordination provisions.

          (b) If any Senior Claimant receives any payment in respect of any Senior Claim which is
subsequently invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be

82

 

repaid to a trustee, receiver or other party, then, to the extent such payment is so
invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid, such Senior Claim shall
be revived and continue in full force and effect, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Article XI, all as if such payment had not been received.

          (c) Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, and each other payee pursuant to
the Flow of Funds, by entering into the Operative Agreement to which it is a party, authorizes and
expressly directs the Indenture Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XI, and appoints the Indenture
Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding
up, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or
otherwise) any actions tending towards liquidation of the property and assets of the Issuer or the
filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its Equipment Notes in the form required in those
proceedings.

          (d) No right of any holder of any Senior Claim to enforce the subordination of any
subordinated claim shall be impaired by an act or failure to act by the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee or by any failure by either the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to comply with this
Indenture, unless such failure shall materially prejudice the rights of the subordinated claimant.

          (e) Each Noteholder, by accepting an Equipment Note, and each other payee pursuant to the Flow
of Funds, by entering into the Operative Agreement to which it is a party, acknowledges and agrees
that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a
consideration to each holder of any Senior Claim, whether such Senior Claim was created or acquired
before or after the issuance of such holder’s claim, to acquire and continue to hold such Senior
Claim and such holder of any Senior Claim shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such
subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold such Senior Claim.

          (f) The Noteholders of the Equipment Notes shall have the right to receive, to the extent
necessary to make the required payments with respect to the Equipment Notes at the times set forth
herein, (i) the portion of Collections allocable to Noteholders of the Equipment Notes pursuant to
this Indenture and (ii) funds on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account allocated in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of its Equipment Notes,
(x) acknowledges and agrees that except as expressly provided herein, the Noteholders shall not
have any interest in the Equipment Note Account (to the extent amounts were deposited therein in
accordance herewith), and (y) ratifies and confirms the terms of this Indenture and the Operative
Agreements executed in connection with such Noteholder’s Equipment Notes. With respect to each
Collection Period, Collections on deposit in the Collections Account will be allocated to the
Equipment Notes then Outstanding in accordance with the Flow of Funds.

83

 

ARTICLE XII

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

     Section 12.01 Discharge of Liability on the Equipment Notes; Defeasance.

          (a) When (i) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee all Outstanding Equipment Notes
(other than Equipment Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof) for cancellation or (ii) all
Outstanding Equipment Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the
mailing of a Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 3.13(a) hereof and the Issuer irrevocably
deposits in the Redemption/Defeasance Account funds sufficient to pay at maturity, or upon Optional
Redemption of, all Outstanding Equipment Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or the
Redemption Date (other than Equipment Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.08), and if in either
case the Issuer pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer including any premium, then
this Indenture shall, subject to Section 12.01(c), cease to be of further effect. The Indenture
Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Issuer
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel, at the cost and expense of the
Issuer, to the effect that any conditions precedent to a discharge of this Indenture have been met.

          (b) Subject to Sections 12.01(c) and 12.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all its
obligations under the Equipment Notes and this Indenture (the “legal defeasance” option) or
(ii) its obligations under Sections 5.02, 5.03, 5.04 and 4.01 (other than with respect to a failure
to comply with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(e) (only with respect to the Issuer) and 4.01(f)
(only with respect to the Issuer)) (the “covenant defeasance” option). The Issuer may exercise its
legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

          If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of any Equipment Notes subject to
such legal defeasance may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer
exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Equipment Notes may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default (other than with respect to a failure to comply with
Section 5.02(j), 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(e) and 4.01(f)).

          Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer
terminates.

          (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.01,
2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 5.02(j), Article VI, Sections 8.01, 12.04, 12.05
and 12.06 shall survive until all the Equipment Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the
Issuer’s obligations in Sections 8.01, 12.04, 12.05 and 13.07 shall survive.

     Section 12.02 Conditions to Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance
option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

          (a) The Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust in the Redemption/Defeasance Account any one or
any combination of (A) money, (B) obligations of, and supported by the full

84

 

faith and credit of, the U.S. Government (“U.S. Government Obligations”) or (C) obligations of
corporate issuers (“Corporate Obligations”) (provided that any such Corporate Obligations are rated
AA+, or the equivalent, or higher, by the Rating Agency at such time and shall not have a maturity
of longer than three (3) years from the date of defeasance) for the payment of all principal,
premium, if any, and interest (i) on the Equipment Notes being defeased, in the case of legal
defeasance, or (ii) on all of the Equipment Notes in the case of covenant defeasance, in either
case, to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

          (b) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized
firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and
interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the
Corporate Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times
and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due (i) on the
Equipment Notes being defeased, in the case of legal defeasance, or (ii) on all of the Equipment
Notes in the case of covenant defeasance, in either case, to maturity or redemption, as the case
may be;

          (c) 91 days pass after the deposit described in clause (a) above is made and during the 91-day
period no Event of Default specified in Section 4.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer occurs
which is continuing at the end of the period;

          (d) the deposit described in clause (a) above does not constitute a default under any other
agreement binding on the Issuer;

          (e) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
trust resulting from the deposit described in clause (a) does not constitute, or is qualified as, a
regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

          (f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the Noteholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance
had not occurred;

          (g) if the related Equipment Notes are then listed on any securities exchange, the Issuer
delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit, defeasance
and discharge will not cause such Equipment Notes to be delisted;

          (h) the Issuer has obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the defeasance
contemplated by this Section 12.02;

          (i) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the
Equipment Notes as contemplated by this Article XII have been complied with; and

          (j) the Issuer shall only defease the Equipment Notes in their entirety, not partially.

85

 

     Section 12.03 Application of Trust Money. The Indenture Trustee shall hold in trust
in the Redemption/Defeasance Account money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations
deposited with it pursuant to this Article XII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money
from U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Equipment Notes. Money and securities
so held in trust are not subject to Article X hereof.

     Section 12.04 Repayment to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly turn over
to the Issuer upon request any excess money or securities held by it at any time.

     Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Indenture Trustee shall pay to the
Issuer upon written request any money held by it for the payment of principal or interest that
remains unclaimed for two (2) years and, thereafter, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to
the Issuer for payment as general creditors. Such unclaimed funds shall remain uninvested and in
no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for interest on such unclaimed funds.

     Section 12.05 Indemnity for Government Obligations and Corporate Obligations. The
Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations, or
the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations.

     Section 12.06 Reinstatement. If the Indenture Trustee is unable to apply any money or
U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Article XII by reason
of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s
obligations under this Indenture and the Equipment Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though
no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XII until such time as the Indenture Trustee is
permitted to apply all such money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in
accordance with this Article XII; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of
interest on or principal of any Equipment Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations,
the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Equipment Notes to receive such
payment from the money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations held by the Indenture
Trustee.

ARTICLE XIII

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 13.01 Right of Indenture Trustee to Perform. If the Issuer for any reason
fails to observe or punctually to perform any of its obligations to the Indenture Trustee, whether
under this Indenture or any of the other Operative Agreements or otherwise, the Indenture Trustee
shall have power (but shall have no obligation), on behalf of or in the name of the Issuer or
otherwise, to perform such obligations and to take any steps which the Indenture Trustee may, in
its absolute discretion, consider appropriate with a view to remedying, or mitigating the
consequences of, such failure by the Issuer; provided that no exercise or failure to exercise this

86

 

power by the Indenture Trustee shall in any way prejudice the Indenture Trustee’s other rights
under this Indenture or any of the other Operative Agreements.

     Section 13.02 Waiver. Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Indenture or
any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent and estop such party from thereafter
enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given. The failure or
refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon
the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture by any party hereto or
the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect.
No failure on the part of the Indenture Trustee to exercise, and no delay on its part in
exercising, any right or remedy under this Indenture will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any
single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Indenture are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

     Section 13.03 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Indenture or the
application thereof to any party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing
this Indenture shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute,
regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it is
invalid or unenforceable and the remainder of this Indenture, and the application of any such
invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to
whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the
same affect the validity or enforceability of this Indenture. The parties hereto further agree
that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Indenture
Trustee hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the
Indenture Trustee to pursue any other remedy available to it.

     Section 13.04 Notices. All notices, demands, certificates, requests, directions,
instructions and communications hereunder (“Notices”) shall be in writing and shall be effective
(a) upon receipt when sent through the mails, registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, with such receipt to be effective the date of delivery indicated on the
return receipt, or (b) one Business Day after delivery to an overnight courier, or (c) on the date
personally delivered to an authorized officer of the party to which sent, or (d) on the date
transmitted by legible telecopier transmission with a confirmation of receipt, in all cases
addressed to the recipient as follows:

     Section 13.05 Assignments. This Indenture shall be a continuing obligation of the
Issuer and shall (i) be binding upon the Issuer and its successors and assigns and (ii) inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the Indenture Trustee, and by its successors, transferees and
assigns. The Issuer may not assign any of its obligations under this Indenture, or delegate any of
its duties hereunder.

     Section 13.06 Currency Conversion.

          (a) If any amount is received or recovered by the Administrator, the Manager or the Indenture
Trustee in respect of this Indenture or any part thereof (whether as a result of the enforcement of
the security created under this Indenture or pursuant to this Indenture or any judgment or order of
any court or in the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer or by way of damages for any breach of
any obligation to make any payment under or in respect of the Issuer’s obligations hereunder or any
part thereof or otherwise) in a currency (the “Received Currency”) other than the currency in which
such amount was expressed to be payable (the “Agreed Currency”), then the amount in the Received
Currency actually received or recovered by the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, only constitute a discharge to the Issuer to the extent of the amount
of the Agreed Currency which the Administrator, the Manager or the Indenture Trustee was or would
have been able in accordance with its normal procedures to purchase on the date of actual receipt
or recovery (or, if that is not practicable, on the next date on which it is so practicable), and,
if the amount of the Agreed

89

 

Currency which the Administrator, the Manager or the Indenture Trustee is or would have been
so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Agreed Currency which was originally payable by
the Issuer, the Issuer shall pay to the Administrator, the Manager or the Indenture Trustee such
amount as the Administrator, Manager or the Indenture Trustee shall determine to be necessary to
indemnify such Person against any Loss sustained by it as a result (including the cost of making
any such purchase and any premiums, commissions or other charges paid or incurred in connection
therewith) and so that such indemnity, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) shall
constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer distinct from its obligation to
discharge the amount which was originally payable by the Issuer and (ii) shall give rise to a
separate and independent cause of action and apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the
Administrator, the Manager or the Indenture Trustee and continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding any judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of the
amount originally payable by the Issuer or any judgment or order and no proof or evidence of any
actual loss shall be required.

          (b) For the purpose of or pending the discharge of any of the moneys and liabilities hereby
secured the Administrator and the Manager may convert any moneys received, recovered or realized by
the Administrator or the Manager, as the case may be, under this Indenture (including the proceeds
of any previous conversion under this Section 13.06) from their existing currency of denomination
into the currency of denomination (if different) of such moneys and liabilities and any conversion
from one currency to another for the purposes of any of the foregoing shall be made at the
Indenture Trustee’s then prevailing spot selling rate at its office by which such conversion is
made. If not otherwise required to be applied in the Received Currency, the Administrator or the
Manager, as the case may be, acting on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall promptly convert any
moneys in such Received Currency other than Dollars into Dollars. Each previous reference in this
Section to a currency extends to funds of that currency and funds of one currency may be converted
into different funds of the same currency.

     Section 13.07 Application to Court. The Indenture Trustee may at any time after the
service of a Default Notice apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order that the
terms of this Indenture be carried into execution under the direction of such court and for the
appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof and for any other order in relation
to the administration of this Indenture as the Requisite Majority shall deem fit and it may assent
to or approve any application to any court of competent jurisdiction made at the instigation of any
of the Noteholders and shall be indemnified by the Issuer against all costs, charges and expenses
incurred by it in relation to any such application or proceedings.

     Section 13.08 Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND
5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS
