Trinity Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The foregoing consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Trinity Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Trinity,” “Company,” “we,” or “our”) including the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its partially-owned subsidiaries, TRIP Rail Holdings LLC (“TRIP Holdings”) and RIV 2013 Rail Holdings LLC ("RIV 2013"), in which the Company has a controlling interest. In our opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2017 , and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , have been made in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 may not be indicative of expected results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2017 . These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .
Stockholders' Equity
In December 2015 , the Company’s Board of Directors renewed its $ 250 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017 . Under the program, 1,942,200 shares were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , at a cost of approximately $ 52.4 million . Certain shares of stock repurchased during June 2017 , totaling $10.5 million , were cash settled in July 2017 in accordance with normal settlement practices. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company repurchased 2,070,600 shares at a cost of approximately $34.7 million . There were no shares repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2016 . As of June 30, 2017 , the remaining authorization under the program totaled $163.0 million .
Revenue Recognition
Revenues for contracts providing for a large number of units and few deliveries are recorded as the individual units are produced, inspected, and accepted by the customer as the risk of loss passes to the customer upon delivery acceptance on these contracts. Revenues for certain customer-requested “bill and hold” arrangements, primarily in the Energy Equipment Group, are recognized when all of the following conditions have been met: the risks of ownership have passed to the customer, the customer has made a fixed commitment to purchase the goods, there is a fixed delivery schedule consistent with the customer’s business purpose, the customer’s goods have been segregated from our inventory and are not available to fill other orders, the goods are complete and ready for shipment, and no additional performance obligations exist for the Company. Revenue from rentals and operating leases, including contracts that contain non-level fixed rental payments, is recognized monthly on a straight-line basis. Revenue is recognized from the sales of railcars from the lease fleet on a gross basis in leasing revenues and cost of revenues if the railcar has been owned for one year or less at the time of sale. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet owned for more than one year are recognized as a net gain or loss from the disposal of a long-term asset. Fees for shipping and handling are recorded as revenue. For all other products, we recognize revenue when products are shipped or services are provided.
Financial Instruments
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be either cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less, or short-term marketable securities if purchased with a maturity of more than three months and less than one year . The Company intends to hold its short-term marketable securities until they are redeemed at their maturity date and believes that under the "more likely than not" criteria, the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments including restricted cash, short-term marketable securities, and receivables. The Company places its cash investments and short-term marketable securities in bank deposits and investment grade, short-term debt instruments and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited due to control procedures that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, the large number of customers in the Company's customer base, and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. As receivables are generally unsecured, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of all receivables. Receivable balances determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. The carrying values of cash, short-term marketable securities (using level two inputs), receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values. At June 30, 2017 , one Rail Group customer's net receivable balance, all current, accounted for 13% of the consolidated net receivables balance outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, ("ASU 2016-09”) which changed how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. ASU 2016-09 requires, among other things, that excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to vested awards, previously recognized in stockholders' equity, be included in income tax expense when the awards vest. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings of $0.6 million , net of tax, as of January 1, 2017 related to the cumulative effect of the standard. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the effect on the provision for income taxes included in the consolidated statement of operations was an additional provision of $2.7 million and $2.4 million , respectively.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," ("ASU 2014-09") providing common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. It also requires additional detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 will become effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.
The Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption. Under this method, the guidance will be applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements and the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard will result in an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the date of adoption. Using both internal and external resources, the Company continues to evaluate the requirements of the standard and their application to our various business units. While our technical analysis is on-going, we anticipate a change in the timing of revenue recognition for our wind towers and utility structures product lines within our Energy Equipment Group, no longer recognizing revenue when products are delivered, but under the new guidance, recognizing revenue over time as products are manufactured. The impact of this change cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. We expect revenue recognition policies related to our other business segments to remain substantially unchanged as a result of adopting ASU 2014-09, although this could change based on our on-going analysis. Additionally, we do not anticipate significant changes in business processes or systems.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, "Leases", ("ASU 2016-02") which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will become effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. We are continuing to assess the potential effects of the new standard, including its effects on our consolidated financial statements and the accounting for revenue from full service leases.
In December 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, "Restricted Cash", ("ASU 2016-18") which clarifies how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance requires a reconciliation of totals in the statement of cash flows to the related cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash captions in the balance sheet. ASU 2016-18 will become effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2018. The effect of adopting this standard is not expected to be significant.
In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”) which changes how companies that sponsor defined benefit pension plans present the related net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. The service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost will continue to be presented in the same income statement line items, however other components of the net periodic benefit cost will be presented as a component of other income and excluded from operating profit. ASU 2017-07 will become effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2018. The effect of adopting this standard is not expected to be significant.

(1) Included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
(2) Included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to establish a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are listed below:
Level 1 – This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents and restricted cash are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly-rated money market mutual funds.
Level 2 – This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company's fuel derivative instruments, which are commodity swaps, are valued using energy and commodity market data. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty. See Note 7 Derivative Instruments and Note 11 Debt. The equity instruments consist of warrants for the purchase of certain publicly-traded equity securities and are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and certain assumptions regarding the exercisability of the options under the related agreement.

10


Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The estimated fair values of our senior notes and convertible subordinated notes were based on a quoted market price in a market with little activity as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 ( Level 2 input). The estimated fair values of our 2006 , 2009 , 2010 , and 2012 secured railcar equipment notes and TRIP Rail Master Funding LLC (“TRIP Master Funding”) secured railcar equipment notes are based on our estimate of their fair value as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . These values were determined by discounting their future cash flows at the current market interest rate ( Level 3 inputs). The carrying value of our Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”) warehouse facility and 2017 promissory notes approximate fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate ( Level 3 input). The fair values of all other financial instruments are estimated to approximate carrying value. See Note 11 Debt for a description of the Company's long-term debt.

Note 4. Segment Information
The Company reports operating results in five principal business segments: (1) the Rail Group, which manufactures and sells railcars and related parts, components, and maintenance services; (2) the Construction Products Group, which manufactures and sells highway products and other primarily-steel products and services for infrastructure-related projects, and produces and sells construction aggregates; (3) the Inland Barge Group, which manufactures and sells barges and related products for inland waterway services; (4) the Energy Equipment Group, which manufactures and sells products for energy-related businesses, including structural wind towers, steel utility structures for electricity transmission and distribution, storage and distribution containers, and tank heads for pressure and non-pressure vessels; and (5) the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group (“Leasing Group”), which owns and operates a fleet of railcars as well as provides third-party fleet leasing, management, maintenance, and administrative services. The segment All Other includes our captive insurance and transportation companies; legal, environmental, and maintenance costs associated with non-operating facilities; and other peripheral businesses. Gains and losses from the sale of property, plant, and equipment related to manufacturing and dedicated to the specific manufacturing operations of a particular segment are included in the operating profit of that respective segment. Gains and losses from the sale of property, plant, and equipment that can be utilized by multiple segments are included in operating profit of the All Other segment.

11


Sales and related net profits ("deferred profit") from the Rail Group to the Leasing Group are recorded in the Rail Group and eliminated in consolidation and reflected in the "Eliminations - Lease subsidiary" line in the table below. Sales between these groups are recorded at prices comparable to those charged to external customers, taking into consideration quantity, features, and production demand. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profit of the Leasing Group, resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on the Company's original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet are included in the Leasing Group, with related gains and losses computed based on the net book value of the original manufacturing cost of the railcars.
The financial information for these segments is shown in the tables below. We operate principally in North America.

Note 5. Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TILC, formed two subsidiaries, TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, for the purpose of providing railcar leasing in North America. Each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 are direct, partially-owned subsidiaries of TILC in which the Company has a controlling interest. Each is governed by a seven -member board of representatives, two of whom are designated by TILC. TILC is the agent of each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and as such, has been delegated the authority, power, and discretion to take certain actions on behalf of the respective companies.
At June 30, 2017 , the Company's carrying value of its investment in TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 totaled $217.3 million . The Company's weighted average ownership interest in TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 is 39% while the remaining 61% weighted average interest is owned by third-party investor-owned funds. The Company's investments in its partially-owned leasing subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation.
Each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 has wholly-owned subsidiaries that are the owners of railcars acquired from the Company's Rail and Leasing Groups. These wholly-owned subsidiaries are TRIP Master Funding (wholly-owned by TRIP Holdings) and Trinity Rail Leasing 2012 LLC ("TRL 2012," wholly-owned by RIV 2013). Railcar purchases by these subsidiaries were funded by secured borrowings and capital contributions from TILC and third-party equity investors. TILC is the contractual servicer for TRIP Master Funding and TRL 2012, with the authority to manage and service each entity's owned railcars. The Company's controlling interest in each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 results from its combined role as both equity member and agent/servicer. The noncontrolling interest included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets represents the non-Trinity equity interest in these partially-owned subsidiaries.
Trinity has no obligation to guarantee performance under any of the partially-owned subsidiaries' (or their respective subsidiaries') debt agreements, guarantee any railcar residual values, shield any parties from losses, or guarantee minimum yields.
The assets of each of TRIP Master Funding and TRL 2012 may only be used to satisfy the particular subsidiary's liabilities, and the creditors of each of TRIP Master Funding and TRL 2012 have recourse only to the particular subsidiary's assets. Each of TILC and the third-party equity investors receive distributions from TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, when available, in proportion to its respective equity interests, and has an interest in the net assets of the partially-owned subsidiaries upon a liquidation event in the same proportion. TILC is paid fees for the services it provides to TRIP Master Funding and TRL 2012 and has the potential to earn certain incentive fees. TILC and the third-party equity investors have commitments to provide additional equity funding to TRIP Holdings that expire in May 2019 contingent upon certain returns on investment in TRIP Holdings and other conditions being met. There are no remaining equity commitments with respect to RIV 2013.
See Note 11 Debt regarding the debt of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and their respective subsidiaries.

(1) Depreciation, maintenance and compliance, and rent expense are components of operating profit. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold from the Rail Group to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profit of the Leasing Group resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on the Company's original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Company received proceeds from the sales of leased railcars as follows:

Debt. The Leasing Group’s debt at June 30, 2017 consisted primarily of non-recourse debt. As of June 30, 2017 , Trinity’s wholly-owned subsidiaries included in the Leasing Group held equipment with a net book value of $1,729.8 million which is pledged as collateral for Leasing Group debt held by those subsidiaries, including equipment with a net book value of $41.4 million securing

capital lease obligations. The net book value of unpledged equipment at June 30, 2017 was $2,281.5 million . See Note 11 Debt for the form, maturities, and descriptions of Leasing Group debt.
Partially-owned subsidiaries. Debt owed by TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and their respective subsidiaries is nonrecourse to Trinity and TILC. Creditors of each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and their respective subsidiaries have recourse only to the particular subsidiary's assets. TRIP Master Funding equipment with a net book value of $1,290.1 million is pledged as collateral for the TRIP Master Funding debt. TRL 2012 equipment with a net book value of $560.0 million is pledged solely as collateral for the TRL 2012 secured railcar equipment notes. See Note 5 Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries for a description of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. In prior years, the Leasing Group completed a series of financing transactions whereby railcars were sold to one or more separate independent owner trusts (“Trusts”). Each of the Trusts financed the purchase of the railcars with a combination of debt and equity. In each transaction, the equity participant in each of the respective Trusts is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the Trust and therefore, the accounts of the Trusts, including the debt related to each of the Trusts, are not included as part of the consolidated financial statements. The Leasing Group, through wholly-owned, qualified subsidiaries, leased railcars from the Trusts under operating leases with terms of 22 years, and subleased the railcars to independent third-party customers under shorter term operating rental agreements.
These Leasing Group subsidiaries had total assets as of June 30, 2017 of $145.6 million , including cash of $54.1 million and railcars of $63.7 million . The subsidiaries' cash, railcars, and an interest in each sublease are pledged to collateralize the lease obligations to the Trusts and are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Trinity does not guarantee the performance of the subsidiaries’ lease obligations. Certain ratios and cash deposits must be maintained by the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries in order for excess cash flow, as defined in the agreements, from the lease to third parties to be available to Trinity. Future operating lease obligations of the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries as well as future contractual minimum rental revenues related to these leases due to the Leasing Group are as follows:

Note 7. Derivative Instruments
We may use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, both in anticipation of future debt issuances and to offset interest rate variability of certain floating rate debt issuances outstanding. We also may use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in natural gas and diesel fuel prices and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting for discussion of how the Company valued its commodity hedges and interest rate swap at June 30, 2017 . See Note 11 Debt for a description of the Company's debt instruments.

(1) Based on the fair value of open hedge as of June 30, 2017
During 2005 and 2006 , we entered into interest rate swap derivatives in anticipation of issuing our 2006 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes. These derivative instruments, with a notional amount of $200.0 million , were settled in 2006 and fixed the interest rate on a portion of the related debt issuance. These derivative instrument transactions are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million in income recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL") through the date the related debt issuance closed in 2006 . The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance.
Between 2007 and 2009 , TRIP Holdings, as required by the TRIP Warehouse Loan, entered into interest rate swap derivatives, all of which qualified as cash flow hedges, to reduce the effect of changes in variable interest rates in the TRIP Warehouse Loan. In July 2011 , these interest rate hedges were terminated in connection with the refinancing of the TRIP Warehouse Loan. Balances included in AOCL at the date the hedges were terminated are being amortized over the expected life of the new debt with $3.5 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following June 30, 2017 . Also in July 2011 , TRIP Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary, TRIP Master Funding, entered into an interest rate swap derivative instrument, expiring in 2021 , with an initial notional amount of $94.1 million to reduce the effect of changes in variable interest rates associated with the Class A-1b notes of the TRIP Master Funding secured railcar equipment notes. The effect on interest expense is primarily a result of monthly interest settlements.
In May 2017 , TRL 2017 purchased an interest rate cap derivative, which qualified as a cash flow hedge, to limit the Libor component of the interest rate on the 2017 promissory notes to a maximum rate of 3% . The effect on interest expense is primarily the result of amortization of the cost of the derivative and is not expected to be significant during the next twelve months.
See Note 11 Debt regarding the related debt instruments.

Other Derivatives
Natural gas and diesel fuel
We maintain a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of natural gas and diesel fuel. The intent of the program is to protect our operating profit from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. For those instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any changes in their valuation are recorded directly to the consolidated statement of operations. The effect on operating income for these instruments was not significant. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 for these instruments was not significant. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 for these instruments was an asset of $0.3 million .

We have a $600.0 million unsecured corporate revolving credit facility that matures in May 2020 . As of June 30, 2017 , we had letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $92.6 million , leaving $507.4 million available for borrowing. Other than these letters of credit, there were no borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2017 , or during the six month period then ended. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of June 30, 2017 , approximately $3.8 million is expected to expire in 2017 and the remainder primarily in 2018 . The majority of our letters of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year. Trinity’s revolving credit facility requires the maintenance of ratios related to minimum interest coverage for the leasing and manufacturing operations and maximum leverage. As of June 30, 2017 , we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin and are guaranteed by certain 100%-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The Company's Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2036 (“Convertible Subordinated Notes”) bear an interest rate of 3 7/8% per annum on the principal amount payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. In addition, commencing with the six -month period beginning June 1, 2018 and for each six -month period thereafter, we will pay contingent interest to the holders of the Convertible Subordinated Notes under certain circumstances. The Convertible Subordinated Notes mature on June 1, 2036 , unless redeemed, repurchased, or converted earlier. We may not redeem the Convertible Subordinated Notes before June 1, 2018 . On or after that date, we may redeem all or part of the Convertible Subordinated Notes for cash at 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any contingent interest) up to, but excluding, the redemption date. Holders of the Convertible Subordinated Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of their notes on June 1, 2018 or upon a fundamental change, in each case for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including any contingent interest) up to, but excluding, the purchase date.
The Convertible Subordinated Notes are recorded net of unamortized discount to reflect their underlying economics by capturing the value of the conversion option as borrowing costs. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , capital in excess of par value included $92.5 million related to the estimated value of the Convertible Subordinated Notes’ conversion options, in accordance with ASC 470-20. Debt discount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet is being amortized through June 1, 2018 to yield an effective annual interest rate of 8.42% based upon the estimated market interest rate for comparable non-convertible debt as of the issuance date of the Convertible Subordinated Notes. Total interest expense recognized on the Convertible Subordinated Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

Holders of the Convertible Subordinated Notes may convert their notes under the following circumstances: 1) if the daily closing price of our common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price during 20 of the last 30 trading days of the preceding calendar quarter; 2) upon notice of redemption; or 3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions pursuant to the terms of the applicable indenture. Upon conversion, the Company is required to pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Subordinated Notes to be converted. Any conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Subordinated Notes to be converted may be settled in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election. The conversion price, which is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, was $ 24.43 per share as of June 30, 2017 . The Convertible Subordinated Notes were not subject to conversion as of July 1, 2017 . See Note 17 Earnings Per Common Share for an explanation of the effects of the Convertible Subordinated Notes on earnings per share. The Company has not entered into any derivatives transactions associated with these notes.
The $1.0 billion TILC warehouse loan facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $167.6 million in outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2017 . Under the facility, $832.4 million was unused and available as of June 30, 2017 based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. The warehouse loan facility is a non-recourse obligation which expires in April 2018 and is secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by the warehouse loan facility trust. The principal and interest of this indebtedness are paid from the cash flows of the underlying leases. Advances under the facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in interest rate of 2.95% at June 30, 2017 . Amounts outstanding at maturity, absent renewal, are payable under the facility in April 2019 .

See Note 5 Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries for a further explanation of activities with respect to our partially-owned leasing subsidiaries.

Taxing authority examinations
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") formally closed its audit of the 2006-2009 tax years and accordingly, we have adjusted unrecognized tax benefits and deferred tax amounts related to these tax years resulting in a $5.8 million tax benefit. The 2013 audit has concluded and all issues have been agreed upon by us and the IRS and the revenue agent report has been sent to The Joint Committee of Taxation for final review. The statute of limitations for this tax year has been extended to June 30, 2018. The 2013-2016 tax years remain open.
We have various subsidiaries in Mexico that file separate tax returns and are subject to examination by taxing authorities at different times. The 2007 tax year of one of our Mexican subsidiaries is still under review for transfer pricing purposes only, and its statute of limitations remains open through October 2017 . The remaining entities are generally open for their 2010 tax years and forward.
Unrecognized tax benefits
The change in unrecognized tax benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was as follows:

Additions for tax positions related to the current year in the amount of $3.0 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2016 were amounts provided for tax positions that will be taken for federal and state income tax purposes when we file those tax returns. Additions for tax positions related to prior years of $0.1 million and $1.0 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, are due to a state filing position. The reductions for tax positions of prior years of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were primarily related to changes in state taxes. Settlements during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were due to the resolution of our 2006-2009 income tax years.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties at June 30, 2017 and 2016 , that would affect the Company’s overall effective tax rate if recognized was $5.3 million and $15.2 million , respectively. There is a reasonable possibility that unrecognized federal and state tax benefits will decrease by $1.3 million by June 30, 2018 , due to settlements and lapses in statutes of limitations for assessing tax for tax years in which an extension was not requested by the taxing authority.
Trinity accounts for interest expense and penalties related to income tax issues as income tax expense. Accordingly, interest expense and penalties associated with an uncertain tax position are included in the income tax provision. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $3.6 million and $8.9 million , respectively. Income tax expense included an increase of $0.1 million and a decrease of $5.3 million in interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. Income tax expense included an increase of $0.4 million and $0.9 million in interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively.

Note 17. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Trinity remaining after allocation to unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be antidilutive, the calculation of diluted net income attributable to Trinity per common share includes 1) the net impact of unvested restricted shares and shares that could be issued under outstanding stock options and 2) the incremental shares calculated by dividing the value of the conversion obligation in excess of the Convertible Subordinated Notes' aggregate principal amount by the average price of the Company's common stock during the period. See Note 11 Debt for further explanation of the Company's Convertible Subordinated Notes. Total weighted average restricted shares and antidilutive stock options were 6.6 million shares and 6.5 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. Total weighted average restricted shares and antidilutive stock options were 7.0 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively.

Note 18. Contingencies
Highway products litigation
We previously reported the filing of a False Claims Act (“FCA”) complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division (“District Court”) styled Joshua Harman, on behalf of the United States of America, Plaintiff/Relator v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Defendant , Case No. 2:12-cv-00089-JRG (E.D. Tex.). In this case, in which the U.S. Government declined to intervene,the relator, Mr. Joshua Harman, alleged the Company violated the FCA pertaining to sales of the Company's ET-Plus® System, a highway guardrail end-terminal system (“ET Plus”). On October 20, 2014, a trial in this case concluded with a jury verdict stating that the Company and its subsidiary, Trinity Highway Products, LLC (“Trinity Highway Products”), “knowingly made, used or caused to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim" and awarding $175.0 million in damages. Following unsuccessful settlement negotiations to resolve this dispute and the District Court's denial of the Company’s post-verdict motion for judgment as a matter of law, on June 9, 2015 the District Court entered judgment on the verdict in the total amount of $682.4 million , comprised of $175.0 million in damages, which amount is automatically trebled under the FCA to $525.0 million plus $138.4 million in civil penalties and $19.0 million in costs and attorneys' fees.
On June 23, 2015, the District Court approved the Company’s posting of a supersedeas bond in the amount of $686.0 million (the “Bond”) and ordered a stay of the execution of the District Court’s June 9, 2015 entry of judgment of $682.4 million against the Company pending resolution of all appeals. The Company obtained the Bond on an unsecured basis and the annual premium is currently $3.7 million .
On July 7, 2015, the Company filed a Motion for New Trial with the District Court and on August 3, 2015, the Motion was denied. On August 28, 2015, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (“Fifth Circuit”). On March 21, 2016, the Company filed its opening appellate brief. On March 28, 2016, six separate amicus curiae briefs were filed in the Fifth Circuit by the following organizations and individuals in support of Trinity’s appeal seeking a reversal of the judgment: (i) Eleven states - Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah and Wisconsin; (ii) the National Association of Manufacturers, United States Chamber of Commerce, and the American Tort Reform Association; (iii) five former United States Department of Justice Officials; (iv) Mothers Against Drunk Driving; (v) the Cato Institute; and (vi) the Washington Legal Foundation. On June 9, 2016, Mr. Joshua Harman filed his responsive appeal brief in the Fifth Circuit. On June 16, 2016, six amicus curiae briefs were filed in the Fifth Circuit by several organizations and individuals in support of Mr. Harman's opposition to the Company's appeal. On July 21, 2016, the Company filed its reply brief in this matter and on December 7, 2016, the Fifth Circuit heard the parties' oral arguments. The Fifth Circuit's ruling on the Company's appeal is pending.
Texas A&M Transportation Institute (“TTI”), a member of The Texas A&M University System, designed the technology employed in the ET Plus. The Texas A&M University System is the owner of patents issued by the U.S. Patent Office that cover the ET Plus. Trinity Highway Products manufactures and markets the ET Plus pursuant to an exclusive license granted by The Texas A&M University System. In 2005, Trinity Highway Products contracted with TTI to conduct crash testing of the ET Plus to demonstrate compliance with the governing crash test criteria set out in National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 350 (“Report 350”). Following the 2005 crash testing, TTI prepared and provided to Trinity Highway Products the test report on the crash test performance of the ET Plus. This report was reviewed by the Federal Highway Administration (the “FHWA”) in their 2005 acceptance of the product for use on the national highway system and determination of the product’s eligibility for federal-aid reimbursement. In a memorandum dated June 17, 2014, the FHWA confirmed that “The Trinity ET Plus with 4-inch guide channels became eligible for federal-aid reimbursement under FHWA letter CC-94 on September 2, 2005. In addition, the device is eligible for reimbursement under FHWA letters CC-94A and CC-120.” In this memorandum the FHWA confirmed that the reimbursement eligibility applies at guardrail heights from 27 ¾" to 31". The memorandum goes on to state that an “unbroken chain of eligibility for federal-aid reimbursement has existed since September 2, 2005 and the ET Plus continues to be eligible today.”
Preceding the October 2014 trial in this matter, the Company filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus with the Fifth Circuit based, in part, on the District Court’s failure to apply precedential case law. The Fifth Circuit denied this petition, but expressed concern regarding the District Court’s failure to issue a reasoned ruling rejecting the Company’s prior motions for judgment as a matter of law. The Fifth Circuit also stated that the FHWA’s authoritative memorandum of June 17, 2014 appears to compel the conclusion that the FHWA, after due consideration of all the facts, found the ET Plus sufficiently compliant with federal safety standards and therefore fully eligible, in the past, present and future, for federal-aid reimbursement claims. Additionally, the Fifth Circuit noted that a strong argument could be made that the Company’s actions were neither material nor were any false claims based on false certifications presented to the government. We believe this reinforces our prospects for a successful outcome on appeal.
Crash testing and FHWA assessments
Following the October 20, 2014 jury verdict, the FHWA requested that the Company conduct eight separate crash tests pursuant to crash test criteria set out in Report 350. Due to the FHWA’s request for additional ET Plus crash tests, on October 24, 2014 the Company announced that it would suspend shipment of the ET Plus to customers. The FHWA-requested tests were conducted in December 2014 and January 2015 at Southwest Research Institute, an FHWA-approved and independent research facility. Following

26


completion of the first four tests at a 27 ¾" guardrail installation height, and again after completion of the second four tests at a 31" guardrail installation height, the FHWA reported that the ET Plus passed all tests. Performance results from eight successful crash tests validate Trinity Highway Products' long standing position that the ET Plus performs as tested for both guardrail installation heights when properly installed and maintained. On March 11, 2015, the FHWA and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ("AASHTO") released the findings of a joint task force ("Task Force I"), comprised of representatives from the FHWA, AASHTO, the state Departments of Transportation of South Dakota, New Hampshire, Missouri, Ohio, Delaware, and Wyoming, and the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario, Canada, that evaluated field measurement data collected by FHWA engineers from more than 1,000 4-inch ET Plus devices installed on roadways throughout the country. Task Force I concluded there is no evidence to suggest that there are multiple versions of the 4-inch ET Plus on the nation's roadways. Task Force I also concluded that the ET Plus end terminals crash tested at Southwest Research Institute in December 2014 and January 2015 were representative of the devices installed across the country.
The FHWA and AASHTO formed a second joint task force ("Task Force II”) comprised of representatives from the FHWA, AASHTO, the state Departments of Transportation of Iowa, Georgia, New Hampshire, North Carolina, New York, Michigan, Missouri, Delaware, and Utah, and independent experts to further evaluate the in-service performance of the ET Plus and other guardrail end terminals through the collection and analysis of a broad array of data. In a report dated September 11, 2015, the FHWA and AASHTO released the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of Task Force II, including but not limited to, the following: there are no performance limitations unique to the ET Plus; there will be real-world accident conditions that exceed the performance expectations of all manufacturers’ guardrail end terminal systems; and additional crash testing of all existing Report 350 compliant guardrail end terminals, including the ET Plus, “would not be informative” and “would be irrelevant”.
The Company is vigorously pursuing a reversal of the $682.4 million judgment before the Fifth Circuit. Appellate review will continue to result in legal expenses that are expensed as incurred. We remain confident in the performance of the product at issue in this matter, and we maintain that the allegations in the case are baseless and without merit. We believe our filing in the Fifth Circuit articulates in a clear and convincing way why the judgment should not stand.
Based on information currently available to the Company, including, but not limited to the significance of the successful completion of eight post-verdict crash tests of the ET Plus and the favorable findings and conclusions published by both Task Force I and II regarding ET Plus end terminal systems installed on the nation's roadways, we do not believe that a loss is probable in this matter, therefore no accrual has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Revenues from sales of the ET Plus, included in the Construction Products Group, totaled approximately $0.9 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. Revenues from sales of the ET Plus, included in the Construction Products Group, totaled approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively.
State, county, and municipal actions
Trinity is aware of 29 states and the District of Columbia that have removed the ET Plus from their respective qualified products list.

Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. 62-CV-14-3457, in the Second Judicial District Court, Ramsey County, Minnesota); the Montana False Claims Act ( State of Montana ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. DV 14-0692, in the Montana Thirteenth Judicial District Court for Yellowstone County); and the Georgia Taxpayer Protection False Claims Act ( State of Georgia ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. 1:15-CV-1260, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia). In each of these nine cases Mr. Harman is alleging the Company violated the respective states' false claims act pertaining to sales of the ET Plus, and he is seeking damages, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees, costs and interest. Also, the respective states’ Attorneys General filed Notices of Election to Decline Intervention in all of these matters, with the exception of the Commonwealth of Virginia Attorney General who intervened in the Virginia matter. At this time all of the above-referenced state qui tam cases are stayed.

27


The Company believes these state qui tam lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend all allegations. Other states could take similar or different actions, and could be considering similar state false claims or other litigation against the Company.
The Company is aware of three class action lawsuits involving claims pertaining to the ET Plus. The Company has been served in a lawsuit filed November 26, 2014, titled Hamilton County, Illinois and Macon County, Illinois, Individually and on behalf of all Other Counties in the State of Illinois vs. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. 3:14-cv-1320 (Southern District of Illinois). This complaint was later amended to substitute St. Clair County, Illinois for Hamilton County as a lead plaintiff and to expand the proposed class. The case is being brought by plaintiffs for and on behalf of themselves and the other 101 counties of the State of Illinois and on behalf of cities, villages, incorporated towns, and township governments of the State of Illinois. The plaintiffs allege that the Company and Trinity Highway Products made a series of un-tested modifications to the ET Plus and falsely certified that the modified ET Plus was acceptable for use on the nation’s highways based on federal testing standards and approval for federal-aid reimbursement. The plaintiffs also allege breach of implied warranties, violation of the Illinois Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act and unjust enrichment, for which plaintiffs seek actual damages related to purchases of the ET Plus, compensatory damages for establishing a common fund for class members, punitive damages, attorneys' fees and costs, and injunctive relief.
The Company has also been served in a lawsuit filed February 11, 2015, titled The Corporation of the City of Stratford and Trinity Industries, Inc., Trinity Highway Products, LLC, and Trinity Industries Canada, Inc. , Case No. 15-2622 CP , pending in Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The alleged class in this matter has been identified as persons in Canada who purchased and/or used an ET Plus guardrail end terminal. The plaintiff alleges that Trinity Industries, Inc., Trinity Highway Products, LLC, and Trinity Industries Canada, Inc., failed to warn of dangers associated with undisclosed modifications to the ET Plus guardrail end terminals, breached an implied warranty, breached a duty of care, and were negligent. The plaintiff is seeking $400 million in compensatory damages and $100 million in punitive damages. Alternatively, the plaintiff claims the right to an accounting or other restitution remedy for disgorgement of the revenues generated by the sale of the modified ET Plus in Canada.
The Company has been served in a lawsuit filed November 5, 2015, titled Jackson County, Missouri, individually and on behalf of a class of others similarly situated vs. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. 1516-CV23684 (Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri). The case is being brought by plaintiff for and on behalf of itself and all Missouri counties with a population of 10,000 or more persons, including the City of St. Louis, and the State of Missouri’s transportation authority. The plaintiff alleges that the Company and Trinity Highway Products did not disclose design changes to the ET Plus and these allegedly undisclosed design changes made the ET Plus allegedly defective, unsafe, and unreasonably dangerous. The plaintiff alleges product liability negligence, product liability strict liability, and negligently supplying dangerous instrumentality for supplier’s business purposes. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs, and in the alternative plaintiff seeks a declaratory judgment that the ET Plus is defective, the Company’s conduct was unlawful, and class-wide costs and expenses associated with removing and replacing the ET Plus throughout Missouri.
The Company believes each of these county and municipal class action lawsuits is without merit and intends to vigorously defend all allegations. While the financial impacts of these three county and municipal class action lawsuits are currently unknown, they could be material.
Based on the information currently available to the Company, we currently do not believe that a loss is probable in any one or more of the actions described under "State, county, and municipal actions," therefore no accrual has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Because of the complexity of these actions as well as the current status of certain of these actions, we are not able to estimate a range of possible losses with respect to any one or more of these actions.
Product liability cases
The Company is currently defending a number of product liability lawsuits in several different states that are alleged to involve the ET Plus as well as other products manufactured by Trinity Highway Products. These cases are diverse in light of the randomness of collisions in general and the fact that each accident involving a roadside device such as an end terminal, or any other fixed object along the highway has its own unique facts and circumstances. Report 350 recognizes that performance of even the most carefully researched and tested roadside device is subject to physical laws and the crash worthiness of vehicles. The Company expects the judgment in the FCA case, coupled with the media attention such judgment has generated, will prompt the plaintiff’s bar to seek out individuals involved in collisions with a Trinity Highway Products manufactured product as potential clients, which may result in additional product liability lawsuits being filed against the Company. The Company carries general liability insurance to mitigate the impact of adverse judgment exposures in these product liability cases. To the extent that the Company believes that a loss is probable with respect to these product liability cases, the accrual for such losses is included in the amounts described below under "Other matters".

Shareholder class actions
On January 11, 2016, the previously reported cases styled Thomas Nemky, Individually and On Behalf of All Other Similarly Situated v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Timothy R. Wallace, and James E. Perry , Case No. (2:15-CV-00732) (“Nemky”) and Richard J. Isolde, Individually and On Behalf of All Other Similarly Situated v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Timothy R. Wallace, and James E. Perry, Case No. (3:15-CV-2093) ("Isolde"), were consolidated in the District Court for the Northern District of Texas, with all future filings to be filed in the Isolde case. On March 9, 2016, the Court appointed the Department of the Treasury of the State of New Jersey and its Division of Investment and the Plumbers and Pipefitters National Pension Fund and United Association Local Union Officers & Employees’ Pension Fund as co-lead plaintiffs ("Lead Plaintiffs). On May 11, 2016, the Lead Plaintiffs filed their Consolidated Complaint alleging defendants Trinity Industries, Inc., Timothy R. Wallace, James E. Perry, and Gregory B. Mitchell violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and defendants Mr. Wallace and Mr. Perry violated Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making materially false and misleading statements and/or by failing to disclose material facts about Trinity's ET Plus and the FCA case styled Joshua Harman, on behalf of the United States of America, Plaintiff/Relator v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Defendant , Case No. 2:12-cv-00089-JRG (E.D. Tex.). On August 18, 2016, Trinity, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Mitchell filed motions to dismiss Lead Plaintiffs Consolidated Complaint, which remain pending. On March 13, 2017, the Court granted defendant’s motion to stay and administratively close proceedings pending Fifth Circuit appeal. The Isolde matter is stayed and remains administratively closed pending the conclusion of the Company’s Fifth Circuit appeal of the Joshua Harman FCA judgment.
Trinity, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Mitchell deny and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations in the Isolde case. Based on the information available to the Company, we currently do not believe that a loss is probable with respect to this shareholder class action; therefore no accrual has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Because of the complexity of these actions as well as the current status of certain of these actions, we are not able to estimate a range of possible losses with respect to these matters.
Stockholder books and records requests
The Company has received multiple requests from stockholders pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law to review certain of the Company's books and records related to the ET Plus and the FCA case styled Joshua Harman, on behalf of the United States of America, Plaintiff/Relator v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Defendant , Case No. 2:12-cv-00089-JRG (E.D. Tex.) . The stockholders' stated purpose for seeking access to the Company's books and records is to investigate the possibility of whether the directors or officers of the Company committed breaches of fiduciary duty or other wrongdoing. In accordance with the Company's obligations under the Delaware law when such requests are properly filed, the Company has provided books and records to some of those stockholders.
Stockholder derivative complaints
The Company is named as a nominal defendant in two lawsuits captioned Bessent v. Wallace, et. al, Case No. 2017-0223, and Campi v. Wallace, et. al . Case No. 2017-0474, both in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. These cases are brought by purported stockholders of the Company derivatively on behalf of nominal defendants Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, against the Company’s directors and certain officers. Plaintiffs allege the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with Trinity's ET Plus and the FCA case styled Joshua Harman, on behalf of the United States of America, Plaintiff/Relator v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Defendant , Case No. 2:12-cv-00089-JRG (E.D. Tex.) and that certain defendants made improper sales of Company stock. Plaintiffs seek a declaration that they may maintain this derivative action on behalf of the Company and that they are the adequate representatives of the Company, a declaration that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties, awarding the Company damages as a result of the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, awarding restitution, disgorgement of individual defendants’ profits, benefits, and other compensation, certain injunctive relief, costs and fees, and interest.
The defendants deny and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations in the Bessent and Campi cases. Based on the information available to the Company, we currently do not believe that a loss is probable with respect to these derivative cases; therefore no accrual has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Because of the complexity of these actions as well as the current status of certain of these actions, we are not able to estimate a range of possible losses with respect to these matters.
Other matters
The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to our business arising from various matters including product warranty, personal injury, environmental issues, workplace laws, and various governmental regulations. The Company evaluates its exposure to such claims and suits periodically and establishes accruals for these contingencies when a range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The range of reasonably possible losses for such matters, taking into consideration our rights in indemnity and recourse to third parties is $4.4 million to $21.6 million . This range includes any amount related to the Highway Products litigation matters described above in the section titled “Product liability cases.” At June 30, 2017 , total accruals of $26.0 million , including environmental and workplace matters described below, are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying

29


consolidated balance sheet. The Company believes any additional liability would not be material to its financial position or results of operations.
Trinity is subject to remedial orders and federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment and the workplace. The Company has reserved $3.7 million to cover our probable and estimable liabilities with respect to the investigations, assessments, and remedial responses to such matters, taking into account currently available information and our contractual rights to indemnification and recourse to third parties. However, estimates of liability arising from future proceedings, assessments, or remediation are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings involving the environment and the workplace or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company. We believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with environmental and workplace laws and regulations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide management's perspective on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A is presented in the following sections:
Executive Summary
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Forward-Looking Statements
Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Trinity Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Trinity," "Company," "we," and "our") and related Notes in Part I, Item 1 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2016 .

Executive Summary
The Company's revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $905.5 million and $1,782.8 million , respectively, representing a decrease of $279.4 million and $590.0 million , respectively, or 23.6% and 24.9% , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. Operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $135.2 million and $251.8 million , respectively, compared to $191.6 million and $395.0 million , respectively, for the same periods in 2016 . The decrease in both revenues and operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , when compared to the prior year periods, resulted primarily from lower volumes in our Rail and Inland Barge Groups. Revenues and operating profit generated by our Energy Equipment Group decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as higher delivery volumes in our wind towers and utility structures businesses were offset by lower delivery volumes in the Group's other product lines. When compared to the same periods in 2016, revenues produced by our Construction Products Group decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to lower volumes in the Group's highway products business while operating profit was substantially unchanged. Revenues from the Leasing Group decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , when compared to the prior year periods, due to lower sales of leased railcars while operating profit decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and increased for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as lower profit from leased railcar sales was offset by higher profit from net additions to the lease fleet and lower fleet maintenance and compliance expenses.
Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses increased by 5.7% and 5.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, when compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to higher litigation-related costs, increased insurance costs, and additional bad debt expense, partially offset by lower compensation costs. The Company's headcount, including both production and non-production personnel, decreased approximately 26% since June 30, 2016 and approximately 18% since the end of 2016 primarily due to actions taken to realign our costs with current market conditions.
Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $54.0 million and $105.7 million , respectively, compared with $98.8 million and $200.9 million , respectively, for the same periods in 2016 . Net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $51.1 million and $97.1 million , respectively, compared with $94.6 million and $191.8 million , respectively, for the prior year periods.
Our Rail, Inland Barge, and Leasing Groups and our structural wind towers, utility structures, and storage and distribution containers businesses operate in cyclical industries. Additionally, results in our Construction Products Group are affected by seasonal fluctuations with the second and third quarters historically being the quarters with the highest revenues. Due to their transactional nature, railcar sales from the lease fleet are the primary driver of fluctuations in results in the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group.
We continue to experience weak demand levels for many of the Company’s products and services. The ongoing level of uncertainty in the industrial economy has continued to impact our customers’ long-term capital planning processes. The oversupply of railcars and barges in the North American market has limited new order levels for these businesses. We continue to assess demand for our products and services and take steps to align our manufacturing capacity appropriately.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , our rail manufacturing businesses received orders for 6,675 railcars. The change in backlog as of June 30, 2017 compared with our backlog as of June 30, 2016 reflects the value of orders taken, net of cancellations, executory contract change orders and price modifications, and orders delivered during the period. The orders in our backlog from the Leasing Group are fully supported by lease commitments with external customers. The final amount dedicated to the Leasing Group may vary by the time of delivery as customers may alternatively choose to purchase railcars as external sales from the Rail Group. The Company does not report backlog from its utility structures business because certain contracts contain partial order cancellation provisions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Company received proceeds from the sales of leased railcars as follows:

On May 15, 2017 , Trinity Rail Leasing 2017, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("TRL 2017") and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through TILC, issued $302.4 million of promissory notes (the " 2017 Promissory Notes") due May 15, 2024 , of which $301.1 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2017 . The 2017 Promissory Notes are obligations of TRL 2017 and are non-recourse to Trinity. The 2017 Promissory Notes bear interest at Libor plus a margin for an all-in interest rate of 2.91% as of June 30, 2017 , payable monthly. The 2017 Promissory Notes are secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by TRL 2017.
In May 2017, the Company declared an increase in its quarterly dividend from $0.11 to $0.13 per share, reflecting an 18% increase.
In December 2015 , the Company’s Board of Directors renewed its $ 250 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017. Under the program, 1,942,200 shares were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , at a cost of approximately $52.4 million . Certain shares of stock repurchased during June 2017 , totaling $10.5 million , were cash settled in July 2017 in accordance with normal settlement practices. As of June 30, 2017 , the remaining authorization under the program totaled $163.0 million .
A current summary of the Company's Highway Products litigation is provided in Note 18 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by 24% and 25% , respectively, from the prior year periods primarily as a result of reduced volumes in our Rail and Inland Barge Groups. Revenues from our Construction Products Group decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to lower volumes in the Group's highway products business. In our Energy Equipment Group, higher volumes in our wind towers and utility structures product lines were offset by lower volumes in the Group's other product lines resulting in lower revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the prior year periods. Revenues from our Leasing Group decreased as a reduced volume of leased railcar sales was partially offset by higher leasing and management revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the prior year periods.

Operating costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by 22.5% and 22.6% , respectively, over the same periods in 2016 primarily due to lower shipment levels in our Rail and Inland Barge Groups. Operating costs in our Energy Equipment Group increased for the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to higher volumes in our wind towers product line and decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to improved manufacturing efficiencies in our wind towers product line. The reduction in operating costs was offset by additional costs associated with aligning our production footprint with demand in several of our business groups. Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses, including Corporate expenses, increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , by 5.7% and 5.9% , respectively. As a percentage of revenue, selling, engineering, and administrative expenses were 12.5% and 12.1% , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 9.0% and 8.6% , respectively, for the same periods in 2016 primarily due to higher litigation-related costs, increased insurance costs, and additional bad debt expense, partially offset by lower compensation costs.

Our operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by 29.4% and 36.3% , respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily as a result of lower shipment volumes in our Rail and Inland Barge Groups. Operating profit was affected by additional costs associated with aligning our production footprint with demand in several of our business groups. Operating profit in the Construction Products Group was substantially unchanged for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the prior year periods. Operating profit in our Energy Equipment Group decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the same periods in the prior year as a result of lower volumes from the Group's other businesses. Operating profit in our Leasing Group decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and increased for the six months ended June 30, 2017 over the same periods during the prior year primarily as a result of net additions to the lease fleet and lower maintenance and compliance costs which were offset by a reduced volume of leased railcar sales.

Our effective tax rate reflects the Company's estimate for 2017 of its state income tax expense, income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in partially-owned leasing subsidiaries for which no income tax expense is provided, excess tax deficiencies related to equity compensation in accordance with ASU 2016-09, and the impact of the completion of income tax audits that resulted in a net tax benefit. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further explanation of activities with respect to our partially-owned leasing subsidiaries. Income tax payments, net of refunds received, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $8.1 million. The total net income tax receivable position at June 30, 2017 amounted to $182.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") formally closed its audit of the 2006-2009 tax years and, accordingly, we have adjusted unrecognized tax benefits and deferred tax amounts related to these tax years resulting in a $5.8 million tax benefit. The 2013-2016 tax years remain open.
See Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of income taxes.

(1) The ending backlog figures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 reflect the removal of 490 railcars that have not been netted against orders.
Revenues and cost of revenues decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2017 by 32.8% and 29.5% , respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. Revenues and cost of revenues decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2017 by 38.7% and 34.3% , respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The decreases in revenues and cost of revenues primarily resulted from a decrease in railcar unit deliveries.
Unit decreases and lower prices decreased total backlog dollars by 36.7% when comparing June 30, 2017 to the prior year period. The average selling price in the backlog at June 30, 2017 was 7.8% lower as compared to June 30, 2016 primarily due to pricing and product mix changes. The backlog dedicated to the Leasing Group is supported by lease commitments with external customers. The final amount dedicated to the Leasing Group may vary by the time of delivery as customers may alternately choose to purchase railcars as external sales from the Rail Group.
During the three months ended June 30, 2017 , railcar shipments included sales to the Leasing Group of $115.9 million with a deferred profit of $13.6 million , representing 1,145 railcars, compared to $252.1 million with a deferred profit of $45.9 million representing 2,470 railcars in the comparable period in 2016 . During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , railcar shipments included sales to the Leasing Group of $296.9 million with a deferred profit of $42.5 million , representing 2,876 railcars, compared to $535.4 million with a deferred profit of $111.4 million , representing 4,880 railcars, in the comparable period in 2016 .There were no railcar shipments of leased railcars to third parties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , railcar shipments included sales of leased railcars to third parties of $8.1 million .

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by 0.9% when compared to the same period in 2016 . Revenues from our wind towers and utility structures product lines increased by 11.4% , primarily as a result of higher wind towers shipping volumes. Revenues from other product lines for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by 21.0% when compared to the same period in 2016 primarily as a result of decreases in shipping volumes. Other revenues include results primarily from our storage and distribution containers and tank heads product lines. Cost of revenues increased by 3.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily as a result of higher volumes in our wind towers product line. Selling, engineering, and administrative costs increased by 14.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily due to increased bad debt expense related to a single customer.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by 3.9% when compared to the same period in 2016. Revenue from our wind towers and utility structures product lines increased by 3.3% , driven primarily by higher utility structure shipping volumes. Revenues from other product lines decreased by 17.6% as a result of decreases in shipping volumes. Cost of revenues decreased by 1.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 2016, due to improved manufacturing efficiencies in our wind towers product line. Selling, engineering, and administrative costs increased by 6.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily due to increased bad debt expense related to a single customer.
The backlog for wind towers was $0.9 billion and $1.1 billion at June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The Company does not report backlog from its utility structures business because certain contracts contain partial order cancellation provisions.

(1) Depreciation, maintenance and compliance, and rent expense are components of operating profit. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold from the Rail Group to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profit of the Leasing Group resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on the Company's original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges.
Total revenues decreased by 35.2 % and 21.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, compared to 2016 due to lower volume of railcar sales owned one year or less. Leasing and management revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 increased 3.6% and 4.3% , respectively, compared to 2016 due to net fleet additions partially offset by the effect of lower average rental rates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Company received proceeds from the sales of leased railcars as follows:

Operating profit decreased by 5.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to a lower volume of railcar sales. Operating profit increased by 2.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to lower fleet maintenance and compliance expenses, partially offset by a lower volume of railcar sales.
The Leasing Group generally uses cash or its non-recourse warehouse loan facility to provide initial funding for a portion of the purchase price of the railcars. After initial funding, the Leasing Group may obtain long-term financing for the railcars in the lease fleet through non-recourse asset-backed securities; long-term non-recourse operating leases pursuant to sales/leaseback transactions; long-term recourse debt such as equipment trust certificates; or third-party equity.

Operating Activities . Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $336.1 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $486.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 . Cash flow provided by operating activities decreased primarily due to lower net income.
Receivables at June 30, 2017 increased by $52.8 million or 11.0% since December 31, 2016 primarily due to a higher income tax receivable partially offset by lower trade receivables in our Rail Group. Raw materials inventory at June 30, 2017 decreased by $7.8 million or 2.6% since December 31, 2016 primarily attributable to lower levels in our Construction Products and Inland Barge Groups from lower production volumes. At June 30, 2017 , work in process inventory decreased by $16.9 million or 8.9% primarily in our Rail Group while finished goods inventory decreased by $13.8 million or 7.9% since December 31, 2016 due to higher inventory balances carried at the previous year end for scheduled shipments in early 2017 in our Energy Equipment Group. Accounts payable increased slightly by $11.0 million , while accrued liabilities decreased by $4.9 million from December 31, 2016 primarily due to lower compensation-related accruals. We continually review reserves related to bad debt as well as the adequacy of lower of cost or market valuations related to accounts receivable and inventory.
Investing Activities. Net cash required by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $168.9 million compared to $496.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 . Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $315.0 million , which included $277.2 million for additions to the lease fleet less $5.6 million for the cost of sold lease fleet railcars owned one year or less. This compares to $425.8 million of capital expenditures for the same period last year, which included $438.0 million for additions to the lease fleet less $92.0 million for the cost of sold lease fleet railcars owned one year or less. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment and other assets totaled $98.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , including railcar sales from the lease fleet owned more than one year at the time of sale totaling $92.4 million . This compares to $41.8 million for the same period in 2016 , including railcar sales from the lease fleet owned more than one year at the time of sale totaling $37.7 million . Full-year manufacturing/corporate capital expenditures for 2017 are projected to range between $90.0 million and $110.0 million . For 2017, we anticipate a net investment in our wholly-owned lease fleet of between $315.0 million and $365.0 million , after taking into account the proceeds from sales of leased railcars. Short-term marketable securities decreased by $55.1 million and increased by $115.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Net cash required related to acquisitions amounted to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 . There was no divestiture activity for the six months ended June 30, 2017 . There was no acquisition or divestiture activity for the six months ended June 30, 2016 .
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $78.1 million compared to $161.6 million of cash required by financing activities for the same period in 2016 . During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , we retired $98.3 million in debt as scheduled and borrowed $299.4 million, net of debt issuance costs, primarily from the issuance by TRL 2017 of promissory notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we retired $77.6 million in debt as scheduled. We intend to use our cash and committed credit facilities to fund the operations, expansions, and growth initiatives of the Company. Additionally, we may use our cash and committed credit facilities to retire or repurchase the Company's outstanding debt prior to its stated maturity or repurchase shares of its common stock.
Other Investing and Financing Activities
The $1.0 billion TILC warehouse loan facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $167.6 million in outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2017 . Under the facility, $832.4 million was unused and available as of June 30, 2017 based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. The warehouse loan facility is a non-recourse obligation which expires in April 2018 and is secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by the warehouse loan facility trust. The principal and interest of this indebtedness are paid from the cash flows of the underlying leases. Advances under the facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in interest rate of 2.95% at June 30, 2017 . Amounts outstanding at maturity, absent renewal, are payable under the facility in April 2019.

On May 15, 2017 , Trinity Rail Leasing 2017, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("TRL 2017") and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through TILC, issued $302.4 million of promissory notes (the " 2017 Promissory Notes") due May 15, 2024 , of which $301.1 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2017 . The 2017 Promissory Notes are obligations of TRL 2017 and are non-recourse to Trinity. The 2017 Promissory Notes bear interest at Libor plus a margin for an all-in interest rate of 2.91% as of June 30, 2017 , payable monthly. The 2017 Promissory Notes are secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by TRL 2017.
In May 2017, the Company declared an increase in its quarterly dividend from $0.11 to $0.13 per share, reflecting an 18% increase.
As of June 30, 2017 , we had letters of credit issued under our $600 million revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $92.6 million , leaving $507.4 million available for borrowing. Other than these letters of credit, there were no borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2017 , or for the six month period then ended. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin and are guaranteed by certain 100%-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
In December 2015 , the Company’s Board of Directors renewed its $ 250 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017. Under the program, 1,942,200 shares were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , at a cost of approximately $52.4 million . Certain shares of stock repurchased during June 2017 , totaling $10.5 million , were cash settled in July 2017 in accordance with normal settlement practices. As of June 30, 2017 , the remaining authorization under the program totaled $163.0 million .
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Company received proceeds from the sales of leased railcars as follows:

We continue to experience weak demand levels for many of the Company’s products and services. The ongoing level of uncertainty in the industrial economy has continued to impact our customers’ long-term capital planning processes. The oversupply of railcars and barges in the North American market has limited new order levels for these businesses. We continue to assess demand for our products and services and take steps to align our manufacturing capacity appropriately.
Equity Investment
See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information about the Company's investment in partially-owned leasing subsidiaries.
Future Operating Requirements
We expect to finance future operating requirements with cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities; cash flows from operations; and, depending on market conditions, short-term debt, long-term debt, and equity. Debt instruments that the Company has utilized include its revolving credit facility, the TILC warehouse facility, senior notes, convertible subordinated notes, asset-backed securities, and sale-leaseback transactions. As of June 30, 2017 , the Company had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities balances of $ 988.3 million , and $507.4 million available under its revolving credit facility. Under the TILC warehouse facility, $832.4 million was unused and available as of June 30, 2017 based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. The Company believes it has access to adequate capital resources to fund operating requirements and is an active participant in the capital markets.

Derivative Instruments    
We may use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, both in anticipation of future debt issuances and to offset interest rate variability of certain floating rate debt issuances outstanding. We also may use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in natural gas and diesel fuel prices and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of how the Company valued its commodity hedges and interest rate swap at June 30, 2017 . See Note 11 Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company's debt instruments.

(1) Based on the fair value of open hedge as of June 30, 2017
During 2005 and 2006 , we entered into interest rate swap derivatives in anticipation of issuing our 2006 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes. These derivative instruments, with a notional amount of $200.0 million , were settled in 2006 and fixed the interest rate on a portion of the related debt issuance. These derivative instrument transactions are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million in income recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL") through the date the related debt issuance closed in 2006 . The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance.
Between 2007 and 2009 , TRIP Holdings, as required by the TRIP Warehouse Loan, entered into interest rate swap derivatives, all of which qualified as cash flow hedges, to reduce the effect of changes in variable interest rates in the TRIP Warehouse Loan. In July 2011 , these interest rate hedges were terminated in connection with the refinancing of the TRIP Warehouse Loan. Balances included in AOCL at the date the hedges were terminated are being amortized over the expected life of the new debt with $3.5 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following June 30, 2017 . Also in July 2011 , TRIP Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary, TRIP Master Funding, entered into an interest rate swap derivative instrument, expiring in 2021 , with an initial notional amount of $94.1 million to reduce the effect of changes in variable interest rates associated with the Class A-1b notes of the TRIP Master Funding secured railcar equipment notes. The effect on interest expense is primarily a result of monthly interest settlements.
In May 2017 , TRL 2017 purchased an interest rate cap derivative, which qualified as a cash flow hedge, to limit the Libor component of the interest rate on the 2017 promissory notes to a maximum rate of 3%. The effect on interest expense is primarily the result of amortization of the cost of the derivative and is not expected to be significant during the next twelve months.

Other Derivatives
Natural gas and diesel fuel
We maintain a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of natural gas and diesel fuel. The intent of the program is to protect our operating profit from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. For those instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any changes in their valuation are recorded directly to the consolidated statement of operations. The effect on operating income for these instruments was not significant. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 for these instruments was not significant. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 for these instruments was an asset of $0.3 million .
 
Contractual Obligation and Commercial Commitments
As of June 30, 2017 , contractual obligations related to letters of credit increased to $92.7 million from $92.3 million at December 31, 2016 . Refer to Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for changes to our outstanding debt and maturities. Contractual obligations that relate to operating leases including sale/leaseback transactions were substantially unchanged as of June 30, 2017 . See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements regarding operating lease obligations.

The Company maintains a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that: transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; transactions are recorded as necessary 1) to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and 2) to maintain accountability for assets; access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.5
TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR
RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT


THIS NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), by and between TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC. (hereinafter called, the “Company”) and [FIRST NAME] [LAST NAME] (hereinafter called, the “Director”), is made as of [DATE] (the “Date of Grant”);


WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company has established the Fourth Amended and Restated Trinity Industries, Inc. 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“Plan”), and which Plan is made a part hereof; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the Director be granted an award of Restricted Stock subject to the term of the Plan and the terms stated below, as hereinafter set forth;
    
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.
Grant of Restricted Shares.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Agreement and the restrictions set forth below, the Company hereby grants to the Director (this “Restricted Stock Grant”) [TOTAL SHARES GRANTED] Shares of the Company (the “Restricted Shares”). The Restricted Shares may be issued in certificated or book-entry form as the Company may determine.

2.
Restrictions; Vesting Schedule; Forfeiture.

The Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (the “Restrictions on Transferability”) until the Restrictions on Transferability shall lapse. The Restrictions on Transferability shall lapse upon the first to occur of the following: the Restrictions on Transferability shall lapse on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, or if earlier (i) upon death of the Director, (ii) upon the termination of the Director’s service for Disability (as defined in the Plan), or (iii) with the consent of the Board, in its sole discretion. Subject to Section 18 of the Plan, upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), the Restrictions on Transferability with respect to the Restricted Shares shall not lapse, but rather shall continue until they lapse in accordance with the schedule set forth above.

Any unvested Restricted Shares shall be forfeited by the Director to the Company if prior to the lapse of the Restrictions on Transferability, the Director ceases to be a director of the





Company (or otherwise terminates service) with the Company for any reason, which termination shall be evidenced by written notice from the Company or from the Director. Upon forfeiture, the Company shall have all right, title and interest in the Restricted Shares and the Director shall have no further right, title or interest therein. Until the Restrictions on Transferability shall lapse, any certificates representing the Restricted Shares shall bear a legend giving notice of such restrictions as follows:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE RESTRICTED PURSUANT TO A NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT DATED AS OF [ DATE] AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF OR ENCUMBERED AT ANYTIME WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY.

Upon the lapse of the Restrictions on Transferability with respect to any of the Restricted Shares, such shares without the restrictive legend noted above shall be delivered to the Director or the Director’s personal representative.

3.
Stockholder Status.

Effective upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 12, the Director will become the holder of record of the Restricted Shares and have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote the Restricted Shares and the right to receive all dividends earned with respect to the Restricted Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. With respect to any dividends declared with respect to the Restricted Shares, such dividends shall be accrued by the Company for the Director’s account, and shall be distributed to the Director in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Board, in Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, if applicable, upon the lapse of the Restrictions on Transferability (as defined below) with respect to the applicable Restricted Shares to which such dividends are attributable. No dividends shall be accrued or paid with respect to Restricted Shares that are forfeited in accordance with Section 2 above, and any right to such dividends shall be forfeited at the time the underlying Restricted Shares are forfeited.

4.
Subject to Plan.

The Restricted Shares are granted subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan of the Company, which Plan is incorporated herein by reference. In case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall be controlling. Capitalized terms used herein, if not defined herein, shall be as defined in the Plan.

5.
Tax Requirements; Tax Election.

The Director shall be liable for any and all taxes, arising out of this Restricted Stock Grant, the vesting of the Restricted Shares or otherwise hereunder. The Director is hereby advised to consult immediately with his own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of this





Agreement, the method and timing for filing an election to include this Agreement in income under Section 83(b) of the Code, and the tax consequences of such election. By execution of this Agreement, the Director agrees that if the Director makes such an election, the Director shall provide the Company with written notice of such election in accordance with the regulations promulgated under Section 83(b) of the Code.

6.
No Rights of Continued Service.

Neither the Plan nor this Agreement nor any provisions under either shall be construed to confer upon the Director any right to remain a director of the Company, and nothing herein shall be construed in any manner to interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Director’s service at any time.

7.
Adjustment of Number of Restricted Shares.

The number of Restricted Shares awarded pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 20 of the Plan.

8.
Entire Agreement.

This Agreement together with the Plan supersede any and all other prior understandings, negotiations and agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and constitute the sole and only agreements between the parties with respect to the said subject matter. The Director acknowledges that the Director is relying solely on the Director’s own judgment in entering into this Agreement, and not on any communications, promises, or representations of the Company or its agent, except as expressly contained in this Agreement. The Committee may amend this Agreement without the Director’s consent provided that it concludes that such amendment is not materially adverse to the Director, or is permitted under Section 20 of the Plan. Except as provided by the immediately preceding sentence, no change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless the change or modification is in writing and signed by the parties.

9.
Interpretation of this Agreement.

The administration of the Plan has been vested in the Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”), and all questions of interpretation and application of this Restricted Stock Grant shall be subject to determination by a majority of the members of the Committee, which determination shall be final and binding on the Director.

The Lenders agree among themselves that, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, if any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loans or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro-rata share of such payment as provided for in this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly pay in cash or purchase first , from the Lenders a participation in the Loans in such amounts received by any such Lender, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all the Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Agreement.

The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loans or other obligation in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 2.11 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 2.11 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

SECTION 4.02 Illegality . If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Applicable Law, or any change in any Applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any of its Loans at a rate based upon LIBOR (such event being hereinafter referred to as an “ Illegality Event ”) and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, interest on the Loans of such Lender shall accrue and be payable at the Corporate Base Rate. If an Illegality Event does not affect all Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall make a good faith effort to cause the Lenders that are not affected by such Illegality Event to purchase the Loans held by the affected Lenders; provided that any such purchase shall be in each Lender’s sole discretion.

(ii) shall impose on such Protected Party any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Protected Party of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof (any such increased cost or reduction hereinafter referred to as an “ Increased Cost ”), then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Protected Party, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such Protected Party, in accordance with Section 2.07(c) , any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Protected Party on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.
(b) If any Protected Party shall have determined that a Change in Law regarding capital adequacy, or compliance by such Protected Party, or its parent corporation, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any

52



such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Protected Party’s (or parent corporation’s) capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Protected Party, or its parent corporation, could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Protected Party’s (or parent corporation’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such Protected Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Protected Party in accordance with Section 2.07(c) , such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Protected Party on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such reduction. Each determination by any such Protected Party of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

(c) A certificate of each Protected Party setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Protected Party or its holding company as specified in subsection (a) or (b) above , as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Promptly after any Protected Party becomes aware of any circumstance that will, in its sole judgment, result in a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section, such Protected Party shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure on the part of any Protected Party so to notify the Borrower or to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Protected Party’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Protected Party regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 4.04 Funding Losses . The Borrower shall indemnify each Protected Party against any loss or reasonable expense (but excluding in any event loss of anticipated profit) which such Protected Party may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on the date of the Borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in ARTICLE  IV , so long as any such failure is not solely due to the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with its obligations hereunder in all material respects, (ii) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to prepay any Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such Borrowing or prepayment has been given pursuant to Section 2.02 or  2.07 , as applicable, so long as any such failure is not solely due to the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with its obligations hereunder in all material respects or (iii) any payment or prepayment of a Loan (including, without limitation, payment or prepayment pursuant to Section 2.08 ), whether voluntary or involuntary, pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made on a date other than the last day of the then applicable Interest Period, so long as any such payment, prepayment or conversion is not solely due to the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with its obligations hereunder in all material respects (each such loss or expense, a “ Funding Loss ”). Such Funding Losses shall be determined by each Protected Party in its sole discretion and shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably

53



determined by such Protected Party, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid or not borrowed (based on LIBOR), for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow to the last day of the then applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have been applicable to such Loan on the date of such failure to borrow) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Protected Party) that would be realized by such Protected Party in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or continued for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Protected Party setting forth any amount or amounts which such Protected Party is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 4.05 Market Disruption .

(a) If a Market Disruption Event (as defined in subsection (b) of this Section 3.05 ) exists with respect to any Loan, then the portion of such Loan held by each affected Lender for such Interest Period shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum (in lieu of the Applicable Rate with respect to such Loan prior to giving effect to such Market Disruption Event) equal to the sum of:

i. the Applicable Facility Margin; plus

ii. the cost of funds of such Lender(s) for such Interest Period (the “ Market Disruption Cost of Funds ”).

(b) For purposes of this Section 3.05 , “ Market Disruption Event ” means, with respect to any Interest Period, one or more Lenders, whose aggregate Credit Exposure (as hereinafter defined) constitutes more than sixty-six and two thirds percent (66 2 / 3 %) of the Credit Exposure of all Lenders at such time, advises the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than three Business Days prior to the first affected Interest Period in respect of such Market Disruption Event that the cost of obtaining matching deposits in the relevant interbank market for such period would exceed the LIBOR rate for such Interest Period other than reasons relating to the creditworthiness or financial condition of such Lenders.

(c) Each affected Lender shall set forth in a certification provided to the Administrative Agent and Borrower its Market Disruption Cost of Funds for each Interest Period with respect to which interest is computed in accordance with Section 3.05(a) (including the increase to such costs, in reasonable detail), provided that no Lender shall be required to disclose any confidential information relating to its capital structure or funding procedures.

(d) Each Market Disruption Event shall be deemed to be in existence only for the Interest Period in respect of which the notice to the Borrower provided for above was given, and shall be deemed to cease to occur for any subsequent Interest Period unless the Administrative Agent or affected Lenders (as applicable) make the determination that a Market Disruption Event exists for such subsequent Interest Period, in which case the applicable procedures described above shall be followed again for such subsequent Interest Period, including the notice by the

54



Administrative Agent to the Borrower and delivery of the officer’s certificate described above. There cannot be more than one Market Disruption Event applicable for any Interest Period.

(ii) the Borrower will permit an insurance consultant retained by the Administrative Agent, at the expense of the Borrower, to review from time to time the insurance policies maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower annually or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; and

(iii) in the event that the Borrower shall fail to maintain insurance as herein provided, the Administrative Agent may at its option, upon prior written notice to the Borrower ( provided that the Borrower has not procured the necessary insurance in the interim and notified the Administrative Agent in reasonable detail of the procurement, coverage and term thereof), provide such insurance and, in such event, the Borrower shall, upon demand from time to time, reimburse the Administrative Agent for the cost thereof together with interest from the date of payment thereof, on the amount of the cost to the Administrative Agent of such insurance which the Borrower shall have failed to maintain. If after the Administrative Agent has provided such insurance, the Borrower

75



(iv) then obtains such coverage which was replaced by the insurance provided by the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower provides the Administrative Agent with evidence of such coverage reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall cancel the insurance it has provided pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph. In such event, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all costs to the Administrative Agent of cancellation, including without limitation any short rate penalty, together with interest from the date of the Administrative Agent’s payment thereof. In addition, at any time the Administrative Agent (either directly or in the name of any Lenders) or any Lenders 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 Borrower’s ability to insure the Portfolio Railcars as required under the Loan Documents or adversely affect the Borrower’s insurance or the cost thereof. Any insurance payments received from policies maintained by the Agent or any Lender pursuant to the previous sentence shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, without reducing or otherwise affecting the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

The Portfolio Railcars may not be located or used in any country other than the United States, Canada or Mexico.

(c) Identification Numbers . (i) The Borrower shall cause each Portfolio Railcar to be numbered with its reporting mark as shown on the Bill of Sale under which such Portfolio Railcar was delivered to the Borrower, and from and after such date keep and maintain, plainly, distinctly, permanently and conspicuously marked by a plate or stencil printed in contrasting colors upon each side of each such Portfolio Railcar, in letters not less than one inch in height, a legend substantially as follows:

“OWNERSHIP SUBJECT TO A SECURITY AGREEMENT

(ii) The Borrower may change or permit to be changed the identifying number of any Portfolio Railcar in accordance with its or the Servicer’s normal business practices at the time applied in a nondiscriminatory manner. Concurrently with the delivery of each Monthly Report or promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent if there exists an Event of Default, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent a list of the identifying numbers of all Portfolio Railcars that have been changed within the period covered by such Monthly Report and prior thereto to the extent not previously disclosed by the Borrower and evidence of the filing, recording or depositing in such public offices where the Security Agreement (or memoranda or notices thereof) have been filed, recorded or deposited reflecting any changes in identifying numbers which have occurred within such period and prior thereto to the extent not previously disclosed by the Borrower as may be necessary to preserve and perfect the interest of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in the Portfolio Railcars whose identifying numbers have changed.

(d) Insignia . Except as provided in Section 6.07(c) , the Borrower will not allow the name of any Person to be placed on any Railcar as a designation that might be interpreted as a claim of ownership; provided , however , that the Borrower may permit any of the Portfolio Railcars to be lettered with the names, trademarks, initials or other insignia customarily used by the Borrower or its Affiliates (including the Marks Company), or any Lessee or its Affiliates, on railroad equipment used or leased by such Person of the same or a similar type for convenience of identification of its right to use such Portfolio Railcar under any applicable Lease, and any of the Portfolio Railcars may be lettered in an appropriate manner for convenience of identification of the interest of the Borrower or any Lessee therein.

SECTION 6.08 Replacement of Parts; Modifications and Improvements . (a)  Replacement of Parts .

In addition, in the course of maintenance, service, repair, overhaul or testing, the Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, may remove any Part, whether or not worn out, obsolete, lost, stolen, destroyed, seized, confiscated, damaged beyond repair or permanently rendered unfit for use. All replacement Parts shall be selected and installed in accordance with the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s normal business practices at that time applied in a nondiscriminatory manner, and shall be free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and shall be in good operating condition.

(b) Lease Required Modifications and Improvements . Subject to clause (e) of this Section 6.08 , the Borrower shall make or cause to be made such material modifications and

77



improvements to each Portfolio Railcar to the extent required of the Borrower by the terms of the applicable Lease (each occurrence, a “ Lease Required Modification ”).

(c) Required Modifications and Improvements . Subject to clause (e) of this Section 6.08 , the Borrower shall in the event (i) any Governmental Authority or any Applicable Law requires as a condition of continued use or operation of any Portfolio Railcar in any commodity service as reasonably determined by the Servicer that such Portfolio Railcar be altered or modified or (ii) any Governmental Authority determines that any Portfolio Railcar may be in an unsafe operating condition and as a result the Borrower determines that such Portfolio Railcar must be altered or modified (each occurrence under (i) and (ii), a “ Required Modification ”), the Borrower agrees to make or have made such Required Modification in a timely manner; provided that, the Borrower may, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, contest the validity or application of any such law, regulation, requirement or rule in any reasonable manner which does not materially interfere with the use, possession, operation or return of any Portfolio Railcar or materially adversely affect the rights or interests of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or the other Protected Parties in the Portfolio Railcars or under any Loan Document or otherwise expose the Borrower to criminal or material financial sanctions. Promptly after the Borrower becomes aware of the requirement to make a Required Modification, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, which notice shall also set forth the time period for the making of such Required Modification and the Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the cost thereof. If the Borrower (after consultation with the Servicer) believes that any Required Modification to either an individual Portfolio Railcar or an aggregate of Portfolio Railcars would be economically impractical, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent that such Required Modification is economically impractical, and shall treat such Portfolio Railcar as if an Event of Loss had occurred as of the date of such written notice with respect to such Portfolio Railcar. In such event the provisions of the Loan Documents and the Servicing Agreement with respect to Events of Loss shall apply with respect to such Portfolio Railcar. In reaching any decision as to whether a Required Modification is economically impractical, the Borrower shall assess the cost and timing of the Required Modification, the anticipated revenues and other sources of funds which would be available to the Borrower to fund such costs, the requirements of the Loan Documents and such other factors as the Borrower considers necessary or appropriate and shall provide a report to the Administrative Agent, regarding such assessment.

(d) Optional Modifications and Improvements . The Borrower may, upon consent of the Administrative Agent, modify, alter or improve any Portfolio Railcar in a manner which is not a Required Modification, including any Portfolio Railcar not then under a Lease (“ Optional Modification ”), if the Borrower concludes 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); provided that Optional Modifications may be funded only from (i) capital contributions made by TILC to the Borrower (for the avoidance of doubt, such capital contributions are permitted but not required under this Agreement), (ii) distributions which would otherwise be made to or at the direction of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(i) or Section 2.07(c)(ii) , or (iii) proceeds of a Permitted Discretionary Sale, Event of Loss or Casualty to the extent owing to the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that no Optional Modification shall diminish the fair market value, utility, residual value or remaining economic useful life of such Portfolio Railcar below the fair market value, utility,

78



residual value or remaining economic useful life thereof immediately prior to such Optional Modification, in more than a de minimis respect.

(e) Modification Costs . The cost of any Lease Required Modification or Required Modification to a Railcar, to the extent not borne by the applicable Lessee, shall be borne by the Borrower.

(b) Reinvestment of Proceeds from an Event of Loss or Condemnation . The Borrower may reinvest proceeds from an Event of Loss or Condemnation that have been deposited into the Modifications and Improvements Account as described above to fund all or a portion of the cost of one or more Required Modifications or Optional Modifications in respect of existing Railcars of the Borrower. At any time in its discretion within 60 days of deposit into the Modifications and Improvements Account, the Borrower may also elect to transfer amounts so deposited in the Modifications and Improvements Account (and not otherwise applied) into the Collection Account for application as Net Cash Proceeds for the Measuring Period in which such transfer is made. In any other case, any such amounts in the Modifications and Improvements Account (and not otherwise applied) shall be transferred to the Collection Account for application as Net Cash Proceeds on the next Settlement Date following the 61st day following their deposit.

(c) Reinvestment of Sale/Disposition Proceeds in Replacement Railcars . In the event the Borrower intends to use the proceeds of a Permitted Discretionary Sale to acquire Qualifying Replacement Railcars, the Borrower prior to such contemplated Permitted Discretionary Sale shall identify Qualifying Replacement Railcars to replace the Portfolio Railcars subject to the contemplated Permitted Discretionary Sale (such replacement to occur prior to the Settlement Date immediately preceding the date falling 60 days after the effective date of such Permitted Discretionary Sale) and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Qualifying Replacement Railcar Certificate prior to such Permitted Discretionary Sale. All Railcars that replace Portfolio Railcars subject to a Permitted Discretionary Sale shall be Qualifying Replacement Railcars in order to be Portfolio Railcars. Upon acquisition, such Replacement Railcars (and any related Leases) will become subject to the lien of the Security Agreement (and related Transaction Documents). To the extent such proceeds are not so used to acquire Qualifying Replacement

79



Railcars prior to the Settlement Date immediately preceding the date falling 60 days after the effective date of such Permitted Discretionary Sale, at the written direction of the Administrative Agent such amounts shall be transferred to the Collection Account prior to such Settlement Date for application as Net Cash Proceeds for the Measuring Period in which such transfer is made.

All Inspections shall be conducted, at the requesting Person’s expense and no more frequently than once in any annual period (unless such Inspection is conducting after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing or reveals non-compliance with any covenant of the Borrower under the Loan Documents that constitutes a Default, in which case such Inspection shall be at the expense of the Borrower and there shall be no limit on the frequency of such Inspections), with at least five Business Days’ notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (with respect to Inspections of the Borrower) and the Servicer (with respect to inspections of the Borrower or the Servicer) and shall be conducted during normal business hours, be subject to the Borrower’s and the Servicer’s customary security procedures, if any, and not unreasonably disrupt the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s business; provided that, without prejudice to any designation of a Lender as a representative of the Administrative Agent, no Lender shall be entitled to conduct its own Inspection but may attend any Inspection conducted by the Administrative Agent. 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 Inspections in order to minimize the costs thereof and

80



business disruption attendant thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, any Physical Inspection conducted by the Administrative Agent shall (i) be subject to all rights of the applicable Lessee under the Lease (including quiet enjoyment rights), (ii) not interfere with the Borrower’s or any Lessees’ operation of the subject Railcars, and (iii) be limited to a total of 10% of the Portfolio Railcars (measured by number of Portfolio Railcars) for any single Physical Inspection.

SECTION 7.02 Stamp Tax . If any jurisdiction in which any Portfolio Railcar is registered, operated or located, from time to time, requires the payment of a stamp Tax, fee or its equivalent in order to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Railcar or otherwise to allow the Administrative Agent to realize upon the Collateral, the Borrower shall pay the amount of such stamp Tax, fee or its equivalent in accordance with Section 2.07(c) .

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may direct by written notice the Depositary to pay to the Administrative Agent the amount specified in such notice from the Account(s) specified in such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts received from the Depositary to the repayment of the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.07(c) .

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees to endeavor to transfer all Available Collections from the Customer Payments Account to the Collections Account within three Business Days of deposit in the Customer Payments Account but in no event later than six Business Days of deposit of any Available Collections in the Customer Payments Account, and shall provide timely written notice thereof (which notice may be made by facsimile or electronic mail) to the Administrative Agent, in each case in accordance with the Customer Collections Account Administration Agreement.

AGENCY PROVISIONS

not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing two sentences, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law.

The provisions of this ARTICLE  X (other than Section 10.09 ) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor the Collateral Agent shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (other than Section 10.09 ).

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 11.08 , each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent (or its designee, including the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Depositary) for the benefit of Protected Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (or its designee, including the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Depositary) (a) to release or subordinate Collateral as permitted or required under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and agrees that a certificate or other instrument executed by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent evidencing such release of Collateral shall be conclusive evidence of such release as to any third party and (b) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 11.03 hereof, to enter into any amendments or waivers of the Collateral Documents which the Administrative Agent determines are necessary or advisable including, without limitation, Collateral Documents the form of which are exhibits to this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.06(b) .

If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Trigger Event, Default, Servicer Replacement Event or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by, in the case of the Collateral Agent, the Adminstrative Agent and, in the case the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders; provided , however , that unless and until the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Trigger Event, Default, Servicer Replacement Event or Event of Default or it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Facility Parties, and all requirements of Applicable Law, and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Facility Parties.

Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Administrative Agent, as appropriate, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 10.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

No notice to or demand on any Facility Party in any case shall entitle the Facility Parties to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Depositary or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

SECTION 11.05 Indemnification . Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Depositary, each Lender, each Derivatives Creditor and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “ Indemnitees ”) from and against (and without duplication of amounts payable or the provisions which relate to such payment under the other provisions of the Loan Documents): (i) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (other than the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Depositary, any Lender or any Derivatives Creditor) relating directly or indirectly to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against TILC or any Facility Party, any Affiliate of TILC or any Facility Party or any of their respective officers, managers or directors; (ii) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the replacement of any Lender) be asserted or imposed against any Indemnitee, arising out of or relating to, the Loan Documents, any predecessor Loan Documents, the Commitments, the use of or contemplated use of the proceeds of any Loan, or the relationship of TILC, any Facility Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (i) or (ii) above; (iv) any Loan Document, Lease Document, other Transaction Document or any document contemplated hereby or thereby and payments made pursuant hereto or thereto or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder or thereunder, any breach by TILC or any Facility Party of any Transaction Document or Lease Document or a Lessee of any Lease Document, (v) any Railcar, any Part or the Borrower’s acquisition or ownership of, or the selection, design, financing, lease, control, operation, condition, location, storage, modification, repair, sale, use, maintenance, possession, registration, delivery, nondelivery, transportation, transfer or disposition of, any Railcar or Part; (vi) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and the fees and expenses of enforcing the Borrower’s contractual and indemnification obligations under the Loan Documents, which may be incurred by, imposed on or asserted against such Indemnitee in connection with any investigation or administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of any Collateral Document or in any other way connected with the enforcement of any of the terms of, or the presentation of any rights under, or in any way relating to or arising out of the manufacture, ownership, ordering, purchasing, delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition or use of the Collateral (including, without limitation, intent or other defects, whether or not discoverable) the violation of any laws of any country, state or other governmental body or unit, or any tort (including, without limitation, any claims, arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account of injury to or the death of any Person (including any Indemnities), or property damage or contract claim; and (vii) any and all liabilities (including liabilities under indemnities), losses, costs or expenses (including fees and disbursements of one legal counsel, collectively, of the Indemnitees other than the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and one legal counsel of each of the

104



Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, and whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action, or Proceeding (all the foregoing, collectively; the “ Indemnified Liabilities ”). THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES AND COSTS ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY OR CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY ANY INDEMNITEE ; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim caused by its own breach, gross negligence or willful misconduct and provided further, that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any claim arising solely out of (i) the bankruptcy, insolvency or other financial inability of one or more Lessees to make payments under a related Lease or (ii) the decline in market value of a Portfolio Railcar, to the extent not attributable to the failure of a Facility Party to perform an obligation with respect to such Portfolio Railcar under a Transaction Document; provided , further , that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 11.05 in respect of (a) Taxes (which shall be governed solely by Section 3.01(a) ), other than Taxes imposed with respect to indemnity payments arising from a non-tax claim or (b) losses which result from or arise out of or are attributable to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code cause by the incorrectness of a Lender’s representation in Section 8.01 . In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by TILC, any Facility Party, their respective directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person or any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower or any Indemnitee hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and each Indemnitee contained in this Section 11.05 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and other obligations under the Loan Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder.

The Borrower shall, no later than 20 days following demand, reimburse any Indemnitee for any Indemnified Liability referred to above or, upon request from any Indemnitee, shall pay such amounts directly. Any payment made to or on behalf of any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 11.05 shall be adjusted to such amount as will, after taking into account all Taxes imposed with respect to the accrual or receipt of such payment (as the same may be increased pursuant to this sentence), equal the amount of the payment. To the extent that the Borrower in fact indemnifies any Indemnitee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.05 (other than in respect of Taxes), the Borrower shall be subrogated to such Indemnitee’s rights in the affected transaction and shall have a right to determine the settlement of claims therein.

If a claim of the type described above is made against an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee has notice thereof, such Indemnitee shall promptly, upon receiving such notice, give notice of such claim to the Borrower; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder except if and to the extent that such failure results in an increase in the Borrower’s indemnification obligations hereunder. The Borrower

105



shall be entitled, in each case at its sole cost and expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to the relevant Indemnitee: (i) in any judicial or administrative proceeding that involves solely a claim of the type described above, to assume responsibility for and control thereof, (ii) in any judicial or administrative proceeding involving a claim of the type described above and other claims related or unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than with respect to Taxes), to assume responsibility for and control of such claim, to the extent that the same may be and is severed from such other claims (and such Indemnitee shall use its best efforts to obtain such severance), and (iii) in any other case, to be consulted by such Indemnitee with respect to judicial proceedings subject to the control of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be entitled to assume responsibility for and control of any such judicial or administrative proceedings: (A) while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (B) if such proceedings will involve any risk of criminal liability or a material risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any part of the Collateral; or (C) to the extent that the Indemnitee has defenses available to it which are not available to the Borrower and allowing the Borrower to assert such defenses will be prejudicial to the interests of such Indemnitee; provided that the limitation on the Borrower’s ability to control such judicial or administrative proceeding shall apply only to those aspects of such proceeding which address issues with respect to which such defenses are available.

The relevant Indemnitee shall supply the Borrower with such information reasonably requested by the Borrower as is necessary or advisable for the Borrower to control or participate in any proceeding to the extent permitted by this Section 11.05 . Such Indemnitee shall not enter into a settlement or other compromise with respect to any covered claim without the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such Indemnitee waives its right to be protected with respect to such covered claim.

SECTION 11.06 Successors, Assigns, and Participants . (a) Generally .

The provisions of this Section 11.07 are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any additional, separate agreements related to confidentiality and/or non-disclosure entered into between the Borrower and any Protected Party from time to time.

SECTION 11.08 Set-off . In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or specific) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, branches, agencies or Affiliates of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder, under the Loans and Notes, under the other Loan Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of such Lender subsequent thereto. The Borrower hereby agrees that to the extent permitted by law any Person purchasing a participation in the Loans and Commitments hereunder may exercise all rights of set-off with respect to its participation interest as fully as if such Person were a Lender hereunder and any such set-off shall reduce the amount owed by the Borrower to the Lender.

SECTION 11.09 Interest Rate Limitation . The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower and any other parties to the Loan Documents intend to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof such Persons stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by Applicable Law from time to time in effect (the “ Maximum Rate ”). Neither the Borrower nor any present or future guarantors, endorsers, or other Persons hereafter becoming liable for payment of any Credit Obligation shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the maximum amount that may be lawfully charged under Applicable Law from time to time in effect, and the provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Documents which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent expressly disavow any intention to charge

110



or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of any Credit Obligation is accelerated. If (i) the maturity of any Credit Obligation is accelerated for any reason, (ii) any Credit Obligation is prepaid and as a result any amounts held to constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the legal maximum, or (iii) any Lender of any other holder of any or all of the Credit Obligations shall otherwise collect moneys which are determined to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the interest on any or all of the Credit Obligations to an amount in excess of that permitted to be charged by Applicable Law then in effect, then all sums determined to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall, without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related Credit Obligations or, at such Lender’s or holder’s option, promptly returned to the Borrower or the other payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific circumstance, exceeds the maximum amount permitted under Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower (and any other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instruments evidencing the Credit Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time thereunder and the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect under Applicable Law in order to lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under Applicable Law. In the event Applicable Law provides for an interest ceiling under Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code (the “ Texas Finance Code ”) as amended, for that day, the ceiling shall be the “weekly ceiling” as defined in the Texas Finance Code; provided that if any Applicable Law permits greater interest, the Law permitting the greatest interest shall apply. As used in this Section 11.09 the term “Applicable Law” includes, without limitation the laws of the State of Texas, the laws of the State of New York or the laws of the United States of America, whichever laws allow the greatest interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

SECTION 11.10 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

SECTION 11.11 Integration . THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY OTHER CONFIDENTIALITY OR NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE BORROWER AND ANY PROTECTED PARTY ON OR PRIOR TO THE DATE HEREOF, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective

111



parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

SECTION 11.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties . All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or Knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of the Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

SECTION 11.13 Severability . Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any Facility Party is a party that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.14 Headings . The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.15 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside . None of the Administrative Agent, the Depositary, the Custodian, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Depositary or the Collateral Agent (or to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, or to the Collateral Agent or the Depositary for the benefit of the Protected Parties), or the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent enforces any security interests or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

SECTION 11.16 Performance by the Administrative Agent . If the Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Servicing Document in a timely fashion, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled, but not obliged, to perform such obligation at the expense of the Borrower and without waiving any rights that it may have with respect to such breach.



112



SECTION 11.17 Third Party Beneficiaries . Each Protected Party and Indemnitee is an express third party beneficiary hereof; provided that this Agreement may be amended without the consent of any such Protected Party or Indemnitee, except to the extent required pursuant to Section 11.03 .

SECTION 11.18 Consequential Damages. None of the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall assert any claim against any other party hereto on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Indemnitee from seeking indemnification under Section 10.07 for any such damages claimed by a third party.

SECTION 11.19 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction . THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY RIGHT, OBLIGATION, CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES . Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York in Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditional, the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SECTION 11.20 Waiver of Jury Trial . EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

SECTION 11.21 Binding Effect . This Agreement shall become effective at such time when: (a) it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Depositary, the Custodian and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have received

113



copies hereof (telefaxed or otherwise) which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and (b) each of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE  IV shall have been satisfied or waived, and thereafter this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 11.22 Federal Income Tax Treatment . The Borrower, each Lender, the Administrative Agent, and each assignee and successor thereto hereby agrees to treat the Loans as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes, and shall maintain such position in all returns and proceedings relating to such federal income taxes, unless required otherwise pursuant to a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

SECTION 11.23 Contractual Recognition of Bail-In . Notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any party hereto to any other party hereto under or in connection with the Loan Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:

(i) a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and
