PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

          This Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of this 19th day of
September, 2006, by and between American Railcar Leasing LLC (the “Buyer”), a limited liability
company, organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, and American Railcar Industries, Inc
(the “Seller”), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Seller is the
manufacturer and owner of railroad rolling stock that Buyer desires to purchase and Seller desires
to sell.

          For and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Buyer and Seller hereby agree as follows:

     1. Sale of Railcars; Scope of Work. Seller agrees to manufacture and sell, and Buyer
agrees to purchase the railcars described in Exhibit A attached hereto (individually a “Car” and
collectively the “Cars”). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Seller shall furnish all
labor, materials and equipment required to manufacture the Cars at its manufacturing facility or
facilities listed on Exhibit A (hereinafter referred to as “Seller’s Plant”).

     2. Purchase Price. The purchase price of the Cars (the “Purchase Price”) shall be as
set forth in Exhibit A. The Purchase Price is firm and subject to escalation or other adjustment
as provided in this Agreement, per Exhibit “A”. The Purchase Price does not include any state or
local sales, use or use or other similar taxes, and any such sales, use or similar tax arising out
of this transaction, if any, shall be paid by Buyer together with the Purchase Price.

     3. Specifications and Changes. The Cars shall be constructed in a good and
workmanlike manner in accordance with the specifications described on Exhibit B (the
“Specifications”). The Cars will be built in accordance with the current Federal Railroad
Administration, American Association of Railroads and United States Department of Transportation
design, testing and approval requirements for new Cars.

     4. Delivery and Terms of Payment. Seller shall ship the Cars to Buyer in accordance
with the schedule (the “Delivery Schedule”) set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement. Unless
otherwise agreed in writing, delivery of the Cars shall be F.O.B. Seller’s Plant. After a
Certificate of Acceptance (as hereinafter defined) has been executed with respect to a Car, the Car
will be shipped from Seller’s Plant. All subsequent switching and transportation shall be at
Buyer’s expense. Payment of Seller’s invoice will be due *** after Buyer’s receipt thereof. Title
to each Car shall pass to Buyer upon payment in full for such Car. Following receipt of payment
for a Car, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a bill for sale for such Car substantially in the form of
Exhibit D.

     5. Force Majeure. In the event that Seller is unable to deliver a Car to Buyer within
*** after the scheduled delivery date shown on Exhibit C as a result of a Force Majeure Event,
Buyer shall have the option to notify Seller that it will not purchase the Car(s) as to which
delivery has been delayed and the Buyer’s obligation to purchase Cars shall be reduced by the
number of Cars that Seller is unable to deliver, the Purchase Price will be reduced accordingly

for each Car that Buyer has elected not to purchase, and such omitted Car will not be deemed a “Car”
under this Agreement. As used herein, a “Force Majeure Event” shall mean and include any delays in
the delivery of any car caused by strikes, lockouts (other than lockouts by Seller) or other labor
disturbances; shortages or late delivery of material (due to no fault of Seller); unavailability,
interruptions or inadequacy of fuel supplies; acts of God; war, preparation for war or other acts
or interventions the military or other governmental agencies; governmental regulations; priorities
given to defense orders; riot, embargoes, sabotage, act of terrorism, vandalism, malicious
mischief, landslides, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, collisions or fires; delays of
subcontractors or of carriers by land, sea or air (due to no fault of Seller); quarantine
restrictions, shortages of labor or components and any other circumstances or cause beyond Seller’s
reasonable control.

     6. Inspection and Acceptance; Failure to Deliver. Seller shall give Buyer, and/or
its designated agent, reasonable opportunity to inspect the Cars during construction at Seller’s
Plant during normal operating hours or at such other time as may be mutually agreed. Prior to
completion of a Car, Buyer and Seller shall mutually agree on a date for Buyer’s inspection of the
completed Car and the execution of a certificate of acceptance (“Certificate of Acceptance”) in the
form of Exhibit E hereto. If Buyer determines that a Car appears to have been manufactured
according to the applicable specifications and is in acceptable condition for delivery
(hereinafter, a “Conforming Car”), Buyer shall execute a Certificate of Acceptance as promptly as
is reasonably practicable. In the event Buyer does not attend such inspection, or Buyer and Seller
cannot mutually agree on an inspection date to occur within three (3) days of the date of
completion of the Car, Seller is authorized and empowered to inspect the Car and execute a
Certificate of Acceptance on Buyer’s behalf if it determines that the Car is a Conforming Car. If
Buyer notifies Seller that a Car does not conform to the specifications applicable to that Car
(hereinafter a “Non-Conforming Car”), it shall be Seller’s obligation to make the Car a Conforming
Car. The execution of a Certificate of Acceptance shall not preclude Buyer from asserting a claim
for a breach of Seller’s Car warranty contained in Section 8 within the applicable warranty period
or that a Car was not manufactured in accordance with the applicable Specifications.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including without limitation this
Paragraph 6, and for avoidance of any doubt, Buyer reserves all rights available to it in law or
equity under the circumstances of a failure by Seller to deliver the Cars hereunder when due in
accordance herewith.

     If Seller is unable to provide a Conforming Car within *** of the scheduled delivery date for
any reason whatsoever other than a Force Majeure Event or as a result of a delay caused by Buyer,
***.

     7. ***. The parties agree that upon *** an independent and mutually agreeable third party***.
The parties agree that ***.

     8. No Liens or Claims of Third Parties. Seller hereby represents and warrants to
Buyer that: (a) Seller is the sole owner of the Cars and has good and marketable title to all of
the Cars, free and clear of all liens, claims, demands, charges, security interests, privileges,
pledges

or other encumbrances (“Liens”) other than the Liens created by Buyer and that Seller will
convey to Buyer good and marketable title to the Cars being sold free and clear of all Liens of
every nature and kind whatsoever other than Liens created by Buyer; and (b) neither Seller’s rights
in the Cars, nor the Cars, are subject to any contract, agreement, or understanding, whether
written or oral, which provides for any remarketing, residual sharing or similar arrangement or
which would be binding upon or enforceable against Buyer, the Cars, or the proceeds of any sale,
lease or any disposition of any thereof.

     9. Seller’s Car Warranty; Car Cleaning. Seller warrants that each Car will be free
from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of *** from the
Closing Date and will be manufactured in accordance with the applicable Specifications. With
respect to parts and materials manufactured by others and incorporated by Seller in the Cars, such
parts and material shall be covered only by the warranty, if any, of the manufacturer thereof, and
Seller shall assign to Buyer any such warranty, to the extent assignable by Seller ***. Seller’s
obligations with respect to any Car for breach of this warranty is limited at its option, to either
a credit or refund of the price of any non-conforming or defective component (or Car) or
replacement or repair of such non-conforming or defective component (or Car) at Seller’s
manufacturing plant or at such other location as Seller shall designate in order to minimize
Purchaser’s transportation expenses. Seller’s agreement set forth above to refund, repair or
replace defective parts and materials (other than with respect to parts and materials manufactured
by others and incorporated by Seller in the Cars, the remedy for which is provided for above in
this Section 8) shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive warranty liability with respect to the Cars
that are defective in any respect or that fail to conform to any express or implied warranty, and
Seller will not in any event be liable for the cost of any labor or transportation charges expended
on or in connection with the repair, replacement or return of any component (or Car) or, except as
provided herein, for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages.

     THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ITS SOLE
REMEDY FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY BY SELLER, IS AS PROVIDED ABOVE AND, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN,
SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL INJURY OR
DAMAGE. PROVIDED HOWEVER, NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL LIMIT SELLER’S LIABILITY TO BUYER FOR
CLAIMS OF CONTRIBUTION, IN TORT, PRODUCTS LIABILITY, OR ARE BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF SELLER
WITHOUT ANY NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF BUYER.

     THIS WARRANTY IS CONDITIONED UPON COMPLIANCE BY BUYER AND ALL OTHER USERS OF THE CARS WITH
OPERATION, LOADING, USE, HANDLING, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD COMMERCIAL PRACTICES OF THE RAILROAD INDUSTRY.
SELLER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FAILURES CAUSED BY MISLOADING, OVERLOADING, OVERHEATING,
IMPROPER CLEANING, PHYSICAL ABUSE, ACCIDENT, DERAILMENT OR FOR OTHER DAMAGE CAUSED BY FIRE, FLOOD
OR OTHER EXTERNAL CONDITIONS

UNRELATED TO THE MANUFACTURE OF THE CAR, OR FOR NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.

     In general, Cars shall be delivered clean and free from debris or other matter.
Notwithstanding the fact that a Certificate of Acceptance has been executed with respect to a Car,
if a Car is not clean enough prior to first load by Buyer’s customer to make it suitable for
loading the commodities described on Exhibit A, then Buyer and Seller may jointly inspect the Car
or Cars in question. Seller will either pay, or reimburse Buyer, for the expenses to clean any
such Car, up to a maximum of *** per car. Provided however, Seller’s payment or reimbursement
obligation will not apply if the Car is not clean because foreign matter was introduced while in
transit or through loading operations or other actions of third parties.

     10. Sales Tax. Buyer shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless on an
after-tax basis against, all sales, use, transfer or similar taxes (and any fines, penalties,
additions to tax or interest relating thereto), if any, imposed or assessed on or with respect to
the sale and the transfer of the Cars as contemplated herein.

     11. No Finder. Each party represents and warrants to the other that neither it nor
any party acting on its behalf has paid, or become obligated to pay, or committed any other party
to pay any fee or commission to any broker, finder or intermediary for or on account of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     12. Patents. In lieu of any other warranty by Seller against patent infringement,
statutory or otherwise, Seller agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify Buyer against all
claims, demands, losses, suits, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) arising out of any suit, claim, or action for actual or alleged direct or contributory
infringement of, or inducement to infringe, any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual
property right by reason of the manufacture, use or sale of the Cars unless such actual or alleged
infringement arises out of the compliance with designs, instructions or specifications furnished by
the Buyer. In case the Cars or any part thereof are held to constitute such infringement or the
use thereof is enjoined, Seller shall, at its option, take one of the following three corrective
actions (each a “Corrective Action”): (a) procure for the Buyer the right to continue using the
Cars or part thereof, (b) replace the Cars or part thereof with a non-infringing Car or part
thereof or (c) take such measures as may be required to make the Cars or part thereof
non-infringing, in which event the Buyer shall deliver the Cars to Seller for that purpose. In the
event that Seller fails to effect a Corrective Action *** after Buyer’s written request, ***. The
foregoing states the Seller’s entire liability with respect to any patent infringement by the Cars
or part thereof.

     13. Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated,
each party hereto shall pay its own expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation the fees and
disbursements of its counsel.

     14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto contain the entire

-1-

 

purchased by ARI and are currently owned by ACF. Such Wheel Set Components, including any
Finished Wheel Sets incorporating such Wheel Set Components that have not yet been purchased by
ARI, shall be referred to as the “ACF Wheel Set Inventory.” ACF hereby represents and
warrants that a true and correct list of the ACF Wheel Set Inventory and the cost thereof (as
represented by the purchase price paid or, as of immediately prior to the date hereof, payable by
ACF for the purchase by ACF of the ACF Wheel Set Inventory) has been provided to ARI along with a
schedule showing the vendor, the purchase order number, the amount paid and, as of immediately
prior to the date hereof, the amounts outstanding for the payment by ACF of the purchase price for
the ACF Wheel Set Inventory. ACF agrees to pay vendors in full, on the date hereof, all
outstanding amounts payable as of immediately prior to the date hereof for all ACF Wheel Set
Inventory. ARI hereby agrees to purchase from ACF, and ACF herby agrees to sell to ARI, the ACF
Wheel Set Inventory as of the date hereof for a purchase price equal to said cost of the ACF Wheel
Set Inventory to ACF. The purchase price shall be payable by ARI to ACF (a) on the date hereof as
to amounts previously paid by ACF for such inventory, and (b) promptly upon ARI’s receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to ARI of ACF’s payment in full of all outstanding amounts payable
as of immediately prior to the date hereof. ACF agrees to provide ARI with such information as ARI
reasonably requests to verify the costs and accounts payable outstanding, as of immediately prior
to the date hereof, in respect of the ACF Wheel Set Inventory. Any such ACF Wheel Set Inventory so
purchased by ARI shall be owned by ARI as of the date hereof, shall be treated as supplied by ARI
for purposes of determining amounts owed to ACF for its Jobbing Order Services in manufacturing
Finished Wheel sets for ARI under the Manufacturing Agreement (which shall remain payable as set
forth in the Manufacturing Agreement), and shall constitute Specified Goods as further defined
herein.

     2.     Identifying Specified Goods; Documentation.

          (a)     For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Specified Goods” shall mean each of, and
collectively, (i) the Wheel Set Components purchased by ARI and delivered to ACF pursuant to this
Agreement, and (ii) any Finished Wheel Sets manufactured by ACF from such Wheel Set Components
pursuant to the Manufacturing Agreement.

          (b)     ACF shall cause all Specified Goods to be identified with appropriate markings and/or
stored in designated areas as indicated in clauses (i) through (iv) below, and ACF shall not at any
time identify any goods that are not Specified Goods as Specified Goods. ACF shall maintain such
markings and/or such designated storage areas at all times that the Specified Goods are in ACF’s
possession. With respect to Wheel Set Components, ACF agrees to undertake the identification and
storage procedures set forth in this Agreement as soon as practicable upon delivery to ACF of Wheel
Set Components. ARI and ACF agree to cooperate in good faith to revise the identification and
storage procedures set forth below in a manner reasonably satisfactory to ARI upon either party’s
reasonable written request therefor.

               (i)     ACF shall store all items of Specified Goods:

               1.     As to Finished Wheel Sets, on the tracks
identified as “A”, “B”, “C”,
“C-1”, “C-2”, “C-3”,
“C-4”, “C-5” and “C-6” on the plan attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Designated
Tracks”); and

-2-

 

               2.      As to each type of Wheel Set Component (i.e., wheels, axles and bearings), in the
areas identified for each such type of Wheel Set Component,
designated as “D-1” and “D-2” on the plan attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Designated
Component Storage Areas” and, together with the Designated Tracks, the “Designated
Locations”), in each case at ACF’s premises at 2300 Third Avenue, Huntington, West
Virginia 25703.

     (ii)     The Designated Locations shall each be used exclusively for Specified Goods and,
as to areas “A” and “B” of the Designated Tracks, those certain “Specified Goods” as defined
in (i) that certain Inventory Storage Agreement dated July 17, 2006 between ARI and ACF and
(ii) that certain Inventory Storage Agreement dated October 20, 2006 between ARI and ACF.
ACF shall not at any time store any items belonging to ACF or any other person or entity in
or on the Designated Locations or cause any such items ever to be located in or on the
Designated Locations, or remove any Specified Goods from the Designated Locations other than
at ARI’s specific written request or with ARI’s prior specific written approval.

     (iii)     Finished Wheel Sets. ACF shall install prominent signs (one at each
access point to and end of the Designated Tracks), containing the following language: “All
items located on this track have been purchased by and are owned by American Railcar
Industries, Inc. Do not place items owned by ACF or any other party on this track or remove
items from this track without written approval from ARI.”

     (iv)     Wheel Set Components.

               1.      Wheels. ACF shall rope off and/or paint lines on the plant floor to
designate, and install prominent signs at (each in a manner reasonably satisfactory to ARI),
each of the Designated Component Storage Areas where wheels are to be stored in accordance
with this Agreement. Such signs shall contain the following language: “All items located in
this marked area have been purchased by and are owned by American Railcar Industries, Inc.
Do not place items owned by ACF or any other party in this marked area or remove items from
this marked area without written approval from ARI.”

               2.      Axles. ACF shall rope off and/or paint lines on the plant floor to
designate, and install prominent signs at (each in a manner reasonably satisfactory to ARI),
each of the Designated Component Storage Areas where axles are to be stored in accordance
with this Agreement. Such signs shall contain the following language: “All items located in
this marked area have been purchased by and are owned by American Railcar Industries, Inc.
Do not place items owned by ACF or any other party in this marked area or remove items from
this marked area without written approval from ARI.” In addition, ACF agrees to spray paint
a mark (the “Mark”) on each axle that is a Specified Good, and shall not apply the
Mark to any axles that are not Specified Goods, that shall identify each such axle as
belonging to ARI. The Mark shall be applied to each axle in a location and manner such that
the Mark shall be visible throughout the manufacturing process and afterwards, once the axle
has, together with other Wheel Set Components, been converted into a Finished Wheel Set.
ACF and ARI shall cooperate to

-3-

 

choose a color for the Mark that is not otherwise applied to any axles stored in or
around ACF’s Huntington facility, including without limitation axles intended for ACF’s
other customers. ACF shall consistently apply the Mark to all applicable axles.

               3.      Bearings. ACF shall rope off and/or paint lines on the plant floor to
designate, and install prominent signs at (each in a manner reasonably satisfactory to ARI),
each of the Designated Component Storage Areas where bearings are to be stored in accordance
with this Agreement. Such signs shall contain the following language: “All items located in
this marked area have been purchased by and are owned by American Railcar Industries, Inc.
Do not place items owned by ACF or any other party in this marked area or remove items from
this marked area without written approval from ARI.”

          (c)     ACF shall, in a manner satisfactory to ARI, cause all documents evidencing goods
consisting of Specified Goods to be identified with appropriate language or markings that clearly
identify such goods as Specified Goods that are owned by ARI, and which identify the item number,
as well as the Designated Location (A, B, C, C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5,
C-6, D-1 or D-2) in or on which the specific Specified Goods
are located. In furtherance of the foregoing sentence, ACF shall: (i) maintain invoices and/or
shipping notices for each item of Specified Goods that is placed in or on the Designated Locations
(or moved among them); (ii) send such invoices and shipping notices by facsimile to ARI; (iii)
store copies of such shipping notices at ACF’s Huntington West Virginia facility, separately from
all other shipping notices; and (iv) reflect in such documentation any identifying information that
may be provided by vendors in connection with Section 2(f) of this Agreement.

          (d)     Specified Goods shall be owned by ARI, whether or not ACF complies with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions requiring segregation
and identification of the Specified Goods.

          (e)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, ACF may and ARI authorizes ACF
to remove any Wheel Set Components from any Designated Locations to another location within the
premises located at ACF’s Huntington, West Virginia facility, in order to enable ACF to perform
work on such Wheel Set Components and to complete them into Finished Wheel Set Components,
provided that (i) such Wheel Set Components shall continue to be identified as provided in
Section 2(b)(iv), and (ii) ACF shall maintain a list available for inspection by ARI of the number
and location of any such Wheel Set Components that are not located in or on a Designated Location.

          (f)     ARI and ACF agree to cooperate in good faith with each other and with the vendors that
from time to time supply Wheel Set Components subject to this Agreement to attempt to arrange for
such vendors to identify such Wheel Set Components, at the time of their initial shipment from such
vendors, as shipped for ARI’s account (and not for the account of other ACF customers), as
applicable. By way of illustration only and without limitation, the parties intend to request that
such vendors identify Wheel Set Components as shipped for ARI’s account by (i) consistently marking
or tagging such Wheel Set Components with colored tags, grease paint or other means, and/or (ii) by
coordinating vendor serial or other identification numbers with ACF and ARI invoicing and
documentation procedures. ACF agrees to

-4-

 

incorporate, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to ARI, any such mutually agreed vendor
identification techniques in its day-to-day observation of the segregation and identification of
Wheel Set Components in accordance with this Agreement.

     3.     Delivery, Inspection and Removal.

          (a)     ACF shall cause the Specified Goods to be delivered to ARI as and when ARI may request
from time to time, at ARI’s cost and expense, as per any purchase orders therefor. It is
understood that ACF shall bear the cost of loading such Specified Goods for shipment to ARI. ARI
may request delivery of all or any portion of the Specified Goods, as it may determine.

          (b)     Upon advance notice and during business hours, ACF hereby authorizes ARI or its agents or
designees, at any time, or from time to time, to access ACF’s premises: (a) for the purpose of
inspecting, testing, photographing, video-taping, or measuring the Specified Goods or the markings
on the Specified Goods and the Designated Locations, (b) for the purpose of examining or copying
the shipping notices and invoices relating to the Specified Goods, (c) for the purpose of removing,
repairing, or assembling the Specified Goods, or (d) for any other purpose consistent with this
Agreement and ARI’s ownership of the Specified Goods, or in connection with the enforcement
thereof. Upon advance notice and during business hours, ACF specifically authorizes ARI to bring
onto ACF’s premises any such equipment as ARI may require for the removal of the Specified Goods at
any time or from time to time.

          (c)      In consideration of ARI’s agreements hereunder, ACF shall not charge ARI any storage fee
or rent for the Specified Goods or the documents relating thereto.

          (d)     In the event ARI performs a physical inventory count that differs from the shipping
notices delivered to ARI, ACF shall provide a credit or refund (as ARI may elect) to ARI for the
amount of the difference, plus a finance charge of 10% per annum on such amount, such finance
charge to accrue from the date that ARI paid for the missing items until the date such refund is
delivered or credit is applied, as the case may be.

     4.     Notice. ACF hereby authorizes ARI to file a UCC-1 financing statement naming ACF
as debtor and ARI as secured party and the Specified Goods and their proceeds as collateral, with
such additional language as ARI in its discretion may determine to be appropriate to provide notice
of ARI’s ownership of the Specified Goods. ACF further agrees to execute and deliver any such
notices as ARI may require if ARI determines that any of the Specified Goods consists of “rolling
stock”.

     5.     Effect of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until
all Specified Goods have been delivered from ACF’s premises to ARI’s premises. The rights and
obligations of ARI and ACF hereunder shall not be affected by bankruptcy or insolvency.

     6.     Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

     7.     Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Missouri and shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties

-5-

 

hereto. In any action or suit brought by either party to this Agreement arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, each party: (a) consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the courts
of the State of Missouri or the federal courts located in the State of Missouri; (b) agrees that
such court shall be deemed to be a convenient forum; (c) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as
a defense or otherwise), in any such action or suit commenced in such court, any claim that such
party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such action or suit has
been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such action or suit is improper or that
this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court; and
(d) agrees that it will not bring any action or suit arising out of or relating to this Agreement
in any court other than a court of the State of Missouri or a federal court located in the State of
Missouri. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original instrument. Any amendments or modifications to this Agreement shall be in
writing signed by an authorized officer of each of ACF and ARI.

     8.     Existing Inventory Storage Agreements. This Agreement shall be in addition to, and
shall not replace, (i) that certain Inventory Storage Agreement dated as of July 17, 2006 between
ARI and ACF, and (ii) that certain Inventory Storage Agreement dated October 20, 2006 between ARI
and ACF, each of which shall remain in full force and effect pursuant to the terms thereof.
