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, 2018 , and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , 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, 2018 may not be indicative of expected results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2018 . 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, 2017 .
Stockholders' Equity
In December 2017 , the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $ 500 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 . Under the program, 1,451,171 and 2,970,674 shares, respectively, were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , at a cost of approximately $50.1 million and $ 100.1 million , respectively, leaving a remaining authorization of $400.0 million . Certain shares of stock repurchased during June 2018 , totaling $3.8 million , were cash settled in July 2018 in accordance with normal settlement practices. Under the Company's previous program that expired on December 31, 2017 , 1,942,200 shares were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , at a cost of approximately $52.4 million .
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue, separated by reportable segments. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. For a further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 4 Segment Information.
Rail Group
The Rail Group recognizes revenue when the customer has submitted its certificate of acceptance and legal title of the railcar has passed to the customer. Certain long-term contracts for the sales of railcars include price adjustments based on steel-price indices; this amount represents variable consideration for which we are constrained and we do not estimate these amounts prior to the time the railcar is delivered, at which time the pricing becomes fixed.
Construction Products Group
The Construction Products Group recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Inland Barge Group
The Inland Barge Group recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Energy Equipment Group
Within the Energy Equipment Group, revenue is recognized for our wind tower and certain utility structure product lines over time as the products are manufactured using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of production. We recognize revenue over time for these products as they are highly customized to the needs of an individual customer resulting in no alternative use to the Company if not purchased by the customer after the contract is executed, and we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a reasonable profit margin for work performed. For all other products, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.

8


Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group
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. Revenue from servicing, maintenance, and management agreements is recognized as each performance period occurs.
Fees for shipping and handling are recorded as revenue. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling costs as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. The fees and costs of shipping and handling activities are accrued if the related performance obligation has been satisfied.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of June 30, 2018 and the percentage of the outstanding performance obligations as of June 30, 2018 expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2018:

The remainder of the unsatisfied performance obligations for the Rail Group are expected to be delivered through 2023. The remainder of the unsatisfied performance obligations for the Inland Barge Group and wind towers and utility structures are expected to be delivered through 2020. Unsatisfied performance obligations for the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group are related to servicing, maintenance, and management agreements and are expected to be performed through 2024. Substantially all other unsatisfied performance obligations beyond 2018 are expected to be delivered during 2019.
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 at 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.

Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents held either as collateral for the Company's non-recourse debt and lease obligations or as security for the performance of certain product sales agreements. As such, they are restricted in use.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," ("ASU 2014-09") which provides common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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 to receive 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.
The Company applied ASU 2014-09 to all contracts that were not complete as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, resulting in a reduction to retained earnings of $4.0 million , net of tax, as of January 1, 2018 related to the cumulative effect of applying this standard. Therefore, the comparative information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC Topic 605.
The primary impact of adopting the standard is a change in the timing of revenue recognition for our wind towers and certain utility structures product lines within our Energy Equipment Group. Previously, the Company recognized revenue when the product was delivered. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized over time as the products are manufactured. Revenue recognition policies in our other business segments remain substantially unchanged.

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.
In November 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. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2018. Amounts previously reported have been adjusted to reflect this change.

11


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. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2018. Amounts previously reported have been adjusted to reflect this change.
In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, (“ASU 2018-02”) which gives entities the option to reclassify from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL") to retained earnings the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the"Act") enacted on December 22, 2017. ASU 2018-02 will become effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2018-02 as of January 1, 2018 resulting in a reclassification adjustment from AOCL, increasing retained earnings by $ 18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the 2018 presentation.

Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
In March 2018, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of an inland barge business which was recorded as a business combination, based on preliminary valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities at their acquisition date fair value using level three inputs. Such assets and liabilities were not significant in relation to assets and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting for a discussion of inputs in determining fair value.
In May 2017, we completed the acquisition of the assets of a lightweight aggregates business in our Construction Products Group. The purchase price of the acquisition was not significant.
There was no divestiture activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 .

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.
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, 2018 and December 31, 2017 ( Level 2 input). The estimated fair values of our 2006 , 2009 , 2010 , 2012 , and 2018 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017 using unobservable input values provided by a third party ( Level 3 inputs). The respective carrying values 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, trench shields, shoring 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.
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, 2018 , the Company's carrying value of its investment in TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 totaled $189.6 million . The Company's weighted average ownership interest in TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 is 38% while the remaining 62% 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.

Net deferred profit on railcars sold to the Leasing Group consists of intersegment profit that is eliminated in consolidation and is, therefore, not allocated to an operating segment. See Note 5 Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries and Note 11 Debt for a further discussion regarding the Company’s investment in its partially-owned leasing subsidiaries and the related indebtedness. See Note 13 Income Taxes for a discussion of the effects of the Act on net deferred tax liabilities.

(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, 2018 and 2017 , the Company received proceeds from the sales of leased railcars as follows:

Debt. Wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Leasing Group’s debt at June 30, 2018 consisted primarily of non-recourse debt. As of June 30, 2018 , Trinity’s wholly-owned subsidiaries included in the Leasing Group held equipment with a net book value of $2,311.7 million which is pledged as collateral for Leasing Group debt held by those subsidiaries, including equipment with a net book value of $40.0 million securing capital lease obligations. The net book value of unpledged equipment at June 30, 2018 was $2,169.8 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 $1,269.2 million is pledged as collateral for the TRIP Master Funding debt. TRL 2012 equipment with a net book value of $546.8 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. Under the terms of the operating lease agreements between the subsidiaries and the remaining Trusts, the Leasing Group has the option to purchase, at a predetermined fixed price, certain railcars from the remaining Trusts in 2019. In January 2018, the Leasing Group provided the Trusts with an irrevocable twelve-month notice of intent to exercise their option to purchase all of the Trusts' railcars for $223.6 million . The purchase option is for January 2019, however may be accelerated into the fourth quarter of 2018.
These Leasing Group subsidiaries had total assets as of June 30, 2018 of $138.9 million , including cash of $48.6 million and railcars of $62.9 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, 2018 . See Note 11 Debt for a description of the Company's debt instruments.

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 AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in 2006 . The balance is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.

22


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 life of the terminated hedge with $2.0 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following June 30, 2018 .
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 TRIP Master Funding interest rate hedge was terminated in August 2017 in connection with the refinancing of the related indebtedness. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance. The balance included in AOCL at the date the hedge was terminated is being amortized over the life of the terminated hedge with $0.2 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following June 30, 2018 .
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 twelve months following June 30, 2018 .
In May 2018 , Trinity Rail Leasing 2018 LLC ("TRL-2018") purchased an interest rate swaption derivative for $1.4 million to hedge the risk of potential interest rate increases prior to the TRL-2018 debt issuance. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance. The balance included in AOCL is being amortized over the life of the terminated hedge with $0.2 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following June 30, 2018 .
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. 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 profit for these instruments was not significant. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 for these instruments was not significant.

We have a $600.0 million unsecured corporate revolving credit facility that matures in May 2020 . As of June 30, 2018 , we had letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $78.8 million , leaving $521.2 million available for borrowing. Other than these letters of credit, there were no borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2018 , or during the six month period then ended. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of June 30, 2018 , substantially all are expected to expire in 2019 . 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, 2018 , we were

25


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 (the “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. On April 23, 2018, the Company issued a Notice of Redemption with respect to the Notes to redeem the Notes on June 1, 2018 at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest (including any contingent interest), if any, to but excluding June 1, 2018. In connection therewith, the Company also announced that holders of the Notes would have the right to convert their Notes into the Company’s common stock subject to certain terms, conditions and adjustments specified in the Notes and the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued, no later than May 30, 2018 (the “Conversion Deadline”), at a current conversion rate equivalent to 41.4390 shares per each $ 1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Immediately prior to the Redemption Date, the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding was approximately $449.3 million .
Prior to the Conversion Deadline, holders of approximately $448.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes submitted notices for conversion of their Notes. As a result, on June 1, 2018, the Company redeemed the remaining approximately $0.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $0.8 million , including the accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, June 1, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Notes, the settlement of the Notes submitted for conversion occurred on various dates between May 30, 2018 and July 3, 2018. The Company elected to exercise its rights to settle the converting Notes in cash rather than in shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. As of July 3, 2018, the Company had completed conversion settlements for the remaining Notes, for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $646.6 million . Following the redemption and settlement of the conversions, there were no Notes outstanding under the indenture, and the indenture was satisfied and discharged in accordance with its terms.
The Notes were originally recorded net of unamortized discount to reflect their underlying economics by capturing the value of the conversion option at the time of issuance as borrowing costs. As of December 31, 2017 , capital in excess of par value included $92.5 million related to the estimated value of the Notes’ conversion options, in accordance with ASC 470-20. Debt discount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet was 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 Notes. Upon redemption of the Notes, a charge to capital in excess of par value in the amount of $152.9 million , net of tax, was recorded equal to the redemption amount in excess of the par value of the Notes representing the fair value of the conversion option redeemed.
Total interest expense recognized on the Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

The TILC warehouse loan facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $151.1 million in outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2018 . In March 2018 , the facility, previously totaling $1.0 billion , was extended through March 2021 at a reduced amount of $750.0 million at the Company's election. Under the renewed facility, the entire unused facility amount of $598.9 million was available as of June 30, 2018 based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. The warehouse loan facility is a non-recourse obligation 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 renewed facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in interest rate of 3.74% at June 30, 2018 . Amounts outstanding at maturity, absent renewal, are payable under the renewed facility in March 2022 .
In June 2018 , TRL-2018, a Delaware limited liability company and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through TILC, issued $482.5 million in Secured Railcar Equipment Notes ("the TRL-2018 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes"). The TRL-2018 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes consisted of two classes of notes with (i) an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million of TRL-2018's Series 2018-1 Class A-1 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the "Class A-1 Notes"), and (ii) an aggregate principal amount of $282.5 million of TRL-2018's Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”). The TRL-2018 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes were issued pursuant to a Master Indenture, dated June 20, 2018 between TRL-2018 and Wilmington Trust Company, as indenture trustee. The Class A-1 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.82% , are payable monthly, and have a stated final maturity date of June 17, 2048 . The Class A-2 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.62% , are payable monthly, and have a stated final maturity date of June 17, 2048 . The Notes are

26


obligations of TRL-2018 only, secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon acquired and owned by TRL-2018, certain cash reserves, and other assets of TRL-2018.
Terms and conditions of other debt, including recourse and non-recourse provisions, are described in Note 11 of the December 31, 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K.

Our effective tax rate reflects the Company's estimate for 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 benefits or deficiencies related to equity compensation, and the impact of the completion of income tax audits that resulted in a net tax benefit. See Note 5 Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries for a further explanation of activities with respect to our partially-owned leasing subsidiaries.
The Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% , requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. In December 2017, we recorded a tax benefit after the initial assessment of the tax effects of the Act, and we will continue refining this amount throughout 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we adjusted our initial assessment of the tax effects of the Act to record an additional benefit related to the transition tax. We are still analyzing certain aspects of the Act and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of our deferred tax balance or give rise to new deferred tax amounts in future periods of 2018.The impact of the Act may differ from our estimate due to changes in the regulations, rulings, guidance, and interpretations issued by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the FASB as well as interpretations and assumptions made by the Company. For the items for which we were able to determine a reasonable estimate, we recognized an additional provisional net expense of $0.2 million and benefit of $0.3 million , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , which is included as a component of income tax expense. The calculation of our estimated annual effective tax rate includes the estimated impact of provisions of the Act, such as interest limitations, and foreign limitations or inclusions. These estimates could change as additional information becomes available on these provisions of the Act.
Taxing authority examinations
The 2014-2016 tax years have been reviewed by the IRS with no significant adjustments. The 2014-2017 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 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, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

Additions for tax positions related to prior years of $1.6 million and $0.1 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, are due to a state filing position. Settlements during the six months ended June 30, 2018 were related to state tax audits while settlements during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were due to the resolution of our 2006-2009 income tax years.

28


The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties at June 30, 2018 and 2017 , that would affect the Company’s overall effective tax rate if recognized was $10.4 million and $5.3 million , respectively. There is a reasonable possibility that unrecognized federal and state tax benefits will decrease by $5.2 million by June 30, 2019 , 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $4.3 million and $4.1 million , respectively. Income tax expense included zero and a decrease of $0.2 million in interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , 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.

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 6.0 million and 5.9 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Total weighted average restricted shares and antidilutive stock options were 6.6 million and 6.5 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, 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. 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.

31


On September 29, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ("Fifth Circuit") reversed the District Court’s $682.4 million judgment and rendered judgment as a matter of law in favor of the Company and Trinity Highway Products. On October 27, 2017, Mr. Harman filed a Petition for Rehearing En Banc in the Fifth Circuit, which was denied by the Fifth Circuit on November 14, 2017. On February 12, 2018, the relator, Mr. Joshua Harman, filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court, seeking a review of the Fifth Circuit's decision. Mr. Harman's petition for certiorari remains pending.
Further appellate review would 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.
Based on information currently available to the Company and previously disclosed, including, but not limited to the significance of the successful completion of eight post-verdict crash tests of the ET Plus in 2015, the favorable findings and conclusions published in 2015 by two joint task forces of the Federal Highway Administration and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials regarding the ET Plus end terminal system, the Fifth Circuit's unanimous panel opinion reversing the $682.4 million judgment and rendering judgment in favor of the Company, and the Fifth Circuit's subsequent denial of Mr. Harman's Petition for Rehearing En Banc, we do not believe that a loss is probable in this matter, therefore no accrual has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
State, county, and municipal actions
Mr. Harman has also filed thirteen separate state qui tam actions pursuant to: the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act ( Commonwealth of Virginia ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. CL13-698, in the Circuit Court, Richmond, Virginia); the Indiana False Claims and Whistleblower Protection Act ( State of Indiana ex rel. Joshua M. Harman Qui Tam v. Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. 49D06-1407-PL-024117, in the Sixth Court of Marion County, Indiana); the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act ( State of Delaware ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Civ. No. N14C-06-227 MMJ CCLD, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware In and For New Castle County); the Iowa False Claims Act ( State of Iowa ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. CVCV048309, in the Iowa District Court for Polk County); the Rhode Island False Claims Act ( State of Rhode Island ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. 14-3498, in the Superior Court for the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations); the Tennessee False Claims Act ( State of Tennessee ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. 14C2652, in the Circuit Court for Davidson County, Tennessee); the Minnesota False Claims Act ( State of Minnesota ex rel. Joshua M. Harman Qui Tam v. 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); 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); the Florida False Claims Act ( State of Florida ex rel. Joshua M. Harman Qui Tam v. Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. 2014-CA-000596, in the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit in and for Leon County, Florida); the Illinois False Claims Act ( State of Illinois ex rel. Joshua M. Harman Qui Tam v. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. 2014 L 000098, in the Circuit Court for the Sixth Judicial District, Sangamon County, Illinois); the Massachusetts False Claims Act ( Commonwealth of Massachusetts ex rel. Joshua M. Harman Qui Tam v. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC , Case No. 1484-CV-02364, in the Superior Court Department of the Trial Court); and the Nevada False Claims Act (State of Nevada ex rel. Joshua M. Harman V. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. A-14-699028-C, in the District Court for Clark County, Nevada). In each of these thirteen 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, the above-referenced state qui tam cases, with the exception of the Nevada and the Massachusetts state qui tam cases, are stayed.
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 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

32


and expenses associated with removing and replacing the ET Plus throughout Missouri. On December 6, 2017, the Court granted plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification, certifying a class of Missouri counties with populations of 10,000 or more persons, including the City of St. Louis and the State of Missouri's transportation authority that have or had ET Plus guardrail end terminals with 4-inch wide guide channels installed on roadways they own or maintain. On December 18, 2017, the Company and Trinity Highway Products filed a petition for permission to appeal the Order of Class Certification in the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Western District. On March 6, 2018, the Missouri Court of Appeals denied Trinity's petition for permission to appeal the Order of Class Certification. On March 15, 2018, the Company and Trinity Highway Products filed a Petition for Writ of Prohibition with the Missouri Supreme Court, seeking review of the Order of Class Certification. On May 1, 2018, the Missouri Supreme Court denied Trinity's Petition for Writ of Prohibition seeking review of the Order of Class Certification.
The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend all allegations. While the financial impacts of these state, county, and municipal actions 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. As previously disclosed, 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 believes the District Court judgment in the FCA case, coupled with the media attention such judgment generated, caused the plaintiff’s bar to seek out individuals involved in collisions with a Trinity Highway Products manufactured product as potential clients, which resulted 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 appeal in the Joshua Harman FCA case.
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

33


obligations under the Delaware law when such requests are properly filed, the Company has provided books and records to some of those stockholders.
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 $5.1 million to $26.4 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, 2018 , total accruals of $23.0 million , including environmental and workplace matters described below, are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying 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 $3.0 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, 2017 .

Executive Summary
In December 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to pursue a spin-off of the Company's infrastructure-related businesses to Trinity stockholders. The separation is planned as a tax-free spin-off transaction to the Company's stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The transaction is expected to result in two separate public companies: (1) Trinity, the currently existing company, which will be comprised primarily of Trinity’s rail-related businesses and (2) a new infrastructure company, Arcosa, Inc. ("Arcosa"), focused on infrastructure-related products and services.
Completion of the spin-off will be subject to, among other things, the effectiveness of appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, final approval from the Company's Board of Directors, and other customary conditions. The Company may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is complete, abandon the separation or modify or change its terms. The separation is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018, but there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the separation or that the separation will ultimately occur. See information in Item 1A "Risk Factors"of our 2017 10-K under the heading "Risks Related to the Proposed Spin-Off of our Infrastructure-Related Businesses" for a description of some of the risks and uncertainties associated with the proposed transaction.
The Company's revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $942.3 million and $1,773.6 million , respectively, representing an increase of 4.1% and a decrease of 0.5% , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017 . Operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $125.5 million and $224.1 million , respectively, representing a decrease of 6.8% and 10.5% , respectively, for the same periods in 2017 . Revenues and operating profit in our Rail Group increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , when compared to the prior year periods, as a result of higher railcar deliveries. When compared to the same periods in 2017 , revenues and operating profit in our Construction Products Group increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to higher volumes in our construction aggregates business in addition to higher revenues resulting from an acquisition. Revenues and operating profit from the Inland Barge Group were higher over the three months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the same period last year due to increased barge deliveries with lower deliveries resulting in decreased revenues and operating profit over the six months ended June 30, 2018 . The Energy Equipment Group recorded lower revenues and operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 resulting primarily from lower volumes in our wind towers product line. Revenues from the Leasing Group increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , when compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to increased railcar sales. Operating profit from the Leasing Group decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to lower average rental rates, higher fleet maintenance and compliance costs, and a change in mix of railcars sold from the lease fleet. The effect of the required adoption of new revenue accounting rules effective January 1, 2018 was to increase revenues and operating profit by $3.3 million and $0.4 million , respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and decrease revenues and operating profit by $14.7 million and $3.6 million , respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2018. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses including transaction costs related to the Company's proposed spin-off totaling $10.4 million and $18.3 million , decreased by 2.3% and 0.1% , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively, when compared to the prior year periods primarily resulting from lower litigation-related costs and reduced bad debt expense.
Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $65.5 million and $107.1 million , respectively, compared with $54.0 million and $105.7 million , respectively, for the same periods in 2017 . Net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $64.1 million and $104.3 million , respectively, compared with $51.1 million and $97.1 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.
As of June 30, 2018 and 2017 our unsatisfied performance obligations, or backlog, with respect to railcars in our Rail Group, barges in our Inland Barge Group and wind towers and utility structures in our Energy Equipment Group were as follows:

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 , our rail manufacturing businesses received orders for 13,025 railcars, including orders for 4,800 railcars resulting from an extension of the supply agreement with GATX through 2023. The change in unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2018 compared with June 30, 2017 reflects the value of orders taken, net of cancellations, executory contract change orders and price modifications, and orders delivered during the period. The orders included in unsatisfied performance obligations 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. Approximately 34% of unsatisfied performance obligations for railcars in the Rail Group are expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2018 with the remainder expected to be delivered through 2023. Approximately 44% of unsatisfied performance obligations for barges in the Inland Barge Group are expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2018 with the remainder expected to be delivered through 2020. Approximately 37% of unsatisfied performance obligations for wind towers and utility structures are expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2018 with the remainder expected to be delivered through 2020.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , the Company received proceeds from the sales of leased railcars as follows:

In March 2018, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of an inland barge business.
The TILC warehouse loan facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $151.1 million in outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2018 . In March 2018 , the facility, previously totaling $1.0 billion, was extended through March 2021 at a reduced amount of $750.0 million at the Company's election. Under the renewed facility, the entire unused facility amount of $598.9 million was available as of June 30, 2018 based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. The warehouse loan facility is a non-recourse obligation 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 renewed facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in interest rate of 3.74% at June 30, 2018 . Amounts outstanding at maturity, absent renewal, are payable under the renewed facility in March 2022 .
In June 2018 , TRL-2018, a Delaware limited liability company and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through TILC, issued $482.5 million of TRL-2018 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes. The TRL-2018 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes consisted of two classes of notes with (i) an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million of Class A-1 Notes, and (ii) an aggregate principal amount of $282.5 million of Class A-2 Notes. The TRL-2018 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes were issued pursuant to a Master Indenture, dated June 20, 2018 between TRL-2018 and Wilmington Trust Company, as indenture trustee. The Class A-1 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.82% , are payable monthly, and have a stated final maturity date of June 17, 2048 . The Class A-2 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.62% , are payable monthly, and have a stated final

maturity date of June 17, 2048 . The Notes are obligations of TRL-2018 only, secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon acquired and owned by TRL-2018, certain cash reserves, and other assets of TRL-2018.
On April 23, 2018, the Company issued a Notice of Redemption with respect to the Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”) to redeem the Notes on June 1, 2018 at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest (including any contingent interest), if any, to but excluding June 1, 2018. In connection therewith, the Company also announced that holders of the Notes would have the right to convert their Notes into the Company’s common stock subject to certain terms, conditions and adjustments specified in the Notes and the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued, no later than May 30, 2018 (the “Conversion Deadline”), at a current conversion rate equivalent to 41.4390 shares per each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Immediately prior to the Redemption Date, the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding was approximately $449.3 million.
Prior to the Conversion Deadline, holders of approximately $448.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes submitted notices for conversion of their Notes. As a result, on June 1, 2018, the Company redeemed the remaining approximately $0.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $0.8 million, including the accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, June 1, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Notes, the settlement of the Notes submitted for conversion occurred on various dates between May 30, 2018 and July 3, 2018. The Company elected to exercise its rights to settle the converting Notes in cash rather than in shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. As of July 3, 2018, the Company had completed conversion settlements for the remaining Notes, for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $646.6 million. Following the redemption and settlement of the conversions, there were no Notes outstanding under the indenture, and the indenture was satisfied and discharged in accordance with its terms. In connection with the election to settle the redemption of the Notes entirely with cash, the Company avoided the issuance of up to 5.7 million shares, valued at approximately $198.1 million and representing the amount in excess of par.
In December 2017 , the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $ 500 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 . Under the program, 1,451,171 and 2,970,674 shares, respectively, were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , at a cost of approximately $50.1 million and $ 100.1 million , respectively, leaving a remaining authorization of $400.0 million . Certain shares of stock repurchased during June 2018 , totaling $3.8 million , were cash settled in July 2018 in accordance with normal settlement practices. Under the Company's previous program that expired on December 31, 2017 , 1,942,200 shares were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , at a cost of approximately $52.4 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, 2018 increased by 4.1% and decreased by 0.5% , respectively, from the prior year periods. Revenues from our Rail Group increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily as a result of higher railcar deliveries to our Leasing Group as well as external customers. Revenues from our Construction Products Group increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to higher volumes in our construction aggregates business and higher volumes in the Group's other businesses primarily as a result of our trench shoring products acquisition in 2017. Increased barge deliveries resulted in higher revenues in our Inland Barge Group for the three months ended June 30, 2018 with reduced barge deliveries leading to lower revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 . Revenues in our Energy Equipment Group were lower for the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to reduced volumes in our wind towers product line and lower pricing in our utility structures product line. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 , revenues for the Energy Equipment Group decreased primarily as a result of lower wind towers volumes. Revenue in our Energy Equipment Group was also higher for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and lower for the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the required adoption of new revenue accounting rules. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenues from our Leasing Group increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the prior year periods primarily as a result of higher railcar sales from the lease fleet and additions to the lease fleet partially offset by lower average rental rates and utilization.

Operating costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by 6.0% and 1.1% , respectively, over the same periods in 2017 primarily due to higher shipment levels in our Rail Group and the construction aggregates and other businesses in our Construction Products Group. Operating costs of the Inland Barge Group were higher for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and lower for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as result of changes in barge delivery volumes. Operating costs for the Energy Equipment Group were lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , primarily due to lower wind towers volumes. Operating costs for the Leasing Group for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased primarily due to lower railcar sales from the lease fleet owned more than one year and higher fleet maintenance and compliance costs.
Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses, including Corporate expenses and transaction costs related to the Company's proposed spin-off totaling $10.4 million and $18.3 million , respectively, decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , by 2.3% and 0.1% , respectively, as result of lower litigation-related costs and reduced bad debt expense. As a percentage of revenue, selling, engineering, and administrative expenses were 11.7% and 12.1% , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 12.5% and 12.1% , respectively, for the same periods in 2017 .

Operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by 6.8% and 10.5% , respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017 . Operating profit in our Rail Group increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as a result of higher railcar deliveries. Operating profit in the Construction Products Group increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to prior year periods primarily due to higher volumes in our construction aggregates business and higher volumes in the Group's other businesses as a result of the trench shoring products acquisition in the third quarter of 2017. Operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 also decreased over the prior year periods as a result of lower volumes in the wind towers product line of our Energy Equipment Group and, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 , production inefficiencies and an unfavorable product mix in the Group's utility structures product line. Operating profit in our Energy Equipment Group was also higher for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and lower for the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the required adoption of the new revenue accounting rules. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating profit in our Leasing Group decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 over the prior year periods primarily as a result of a change in mix of railcars sold from the lease fleet, lower average rental rates and increased fleet maintenance and compliance expenses.

Our effective tax rate reflects the Company's estimate for 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 benefits or deficiencies related to equity compensation, and the impact of the completion of income tax audits that resulted in a net tax benefit. See Note 5 Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries for a further explanation of activities with respect to our partially-owned leasing subsidiaries.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% , requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. In December 2017, we recorded a tax benefit after the initial assessment of the tax effects of the Act, and we will continue refining this amount throughout 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we adjusted our initial assessment of the tax effects of the Act to record an additional benefit related to the transition tax. We are still analyzing certain aspects of the Act and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of our deferred tax balance or give rise to new deferred tax amounts in future periods of 2018.The impact of the Act may differ from our estimate due to changes in the regulations, rulings, guidance, and interpretations issued by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the FASB as well as interpretations and assumptions made by the Company. For the items for which we were able to determine a reasonable estimate, we recognized an additional provisional net expense of $0.2 million and benefit of $0.3 million , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , which is included as a component of income tax expense. The calculation of our estimated annual effective tax rate includes the estimated impact of provisions of the

Act, such as interest limitations, and foreign limitations or inclusions. These estimates could change as additional information becomes available on these provisions of the Act.
Income tax payments, net of refunds received, during the six months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $5.7 million. The total net income tax receivable position at June 30, 2018 amounted to $29.1 million.

(1) The ending backlog figures for the six months ended June 30, 2018 reflect the removal of 200 railcars that have not been netted against orders. 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 increased for the three months ended June 30, 2018 by 23.5% and 21.3% , respectively, when compared to the prior year period. Revenues and cost of revenues increased for the six months ended June 30, 2018 by 24.3% and 24.2% , respectively, when compared to the prior year period. The increases in revenues and cost of revenues primarily resulted from an increase in railcar unit deliveries with the increase in cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 partially offset by improved operational efficiencies.
Total backlog dollars decreased by 1.9% when compared to the prior year period due to a decrease in units. The average selling price in the backlog at June 30, 2018 was 10.1% higher as compared to June 30, 2017 primarily due to product mix changes. Approximately 34% of our railcar backlog is expected to be delivered during 2018 with the remainder to be delivered thereafter into 2023. 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.

Revenues decreased by 16.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the same period in 2017 . Revenues from our wind towers and utility structures product lines decreased by 20.1% driven primarily by reduced volumes in our wind towers product line and lower pricing in our utility structures product line. Revenues from other product lines decreased by 7.9% as a result of decreased shipping volumes. Cost of revenues decreased by 13.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 2017 , primarily driven by reduced volumes in our wind towers product line, and partially offset by lower production efficiencies in our utility structures product line. Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 also included a $3.9 million insurance recovery.
Revenues decreased by 13.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the same period in 2017 . Revenues from our wind towers and utility structures product lines decreased by 19.2% , driven primarily by reduced volumes in our wind towers product line. Revenues from other product lines decreased by 0.8% . Cost of revenues decreased by 11.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 2017, driven primarily by reduced volumes.
Selling, engineering, and administrative costs decreased by 10.2% and 6.3% , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 primarily due to decreased bad debt expense related to a single customer.
Revenue and operating profit was also higher by $3.3 million and $0.4 million , respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and lower by $14.7 million and $3.6 million , respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the required adoption of new revenue accounting rules.

(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 increased by 11.1% and 4.6% , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to railcar sales owned one year or less at the time of sale. Leasing and management revenues declined slightly due to lower average rental rates and utilization partially offset by growth in the lease fleet.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , the Company received proceeds from the sales of leased railcars as follows:

Operating profit decreased by 17.1% and 16.8% , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to a change in mix of railcars sold from the lease fleet, lower average rental rates and increased fleet maintenance and compliance expense. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of lease arrangements with the independent owner trusts.
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; long-term non-recourse promissory notes; or third-party equity.

The increase in operating costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 2017 is primarily due to higher consulting and professional fees including transaction costs related to the Company's proposed spin-off totaling $10.4 million and $18.3 million , respectively, partially offset by lower legal and litigation-related expenses which were unrelated to the proposed spin-off.

Operating Activities . Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $348.3 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $336.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 .
Receivables at June 30, 2018 decreased by $31.8 million or 8.0% since December 31, 2017 primarily due to lower trade receivables in our Rail and Energy Equipment Groups. Raw materials inventory at June 30, 2018 increased by $3.7 million or 1.2% while work in process inventory decreased by $29.8 million or 16.6% primarily in our Rail Group. Finished goods inventory decreased by $28.1 million or 17.0% since December 31, 2017 primarily in our Energy Equipment Group. Accounts payable increased by $29.9 million , while accrued liabilities decreased by $27.8 million from December 31, 2017 primarily due to settlement of certain balances from the previous year end. We continually review reserves related to collectibility as well as the adequacy of lower of cost or net realizable value with regard to accounts receivable and inventory.
Investing Activities. Net cash required by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $204.4 million compared to $168.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 . Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $537.1 million , which included $528.0 million for additions to the lease fleet less $24.8 million for the cost of sold lease fleet railcars owned one year or less. This compares to $315.0 million of capital expenditures for the same period last year, 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. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment and other assets totaled $61.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 , including railcar sales from the lease fleet owned more than one year at the time of sale totaling $56.4 million . This compares to $98.4 million for the same period in 2017 , including railcar sales from the lease fleet owned more than one year at the time of sale totaling $92.4 million . Full-year manufacturing/corporate capital expenditures for 2018 are projected to range between $100.0 million and $135.0 million , excluding capital expenditures related to the proposed spin-off transaction. For 2018, after taking into account deferred profit on new railcar additions and planned modifications to the lease fleet, we anticipate a net investment in our lease fleet to range between $600.0 million and $825.0 million , after taking into account the proceeds from sales of leased railcars. Short-term marketable securities decreased by $294.5 million and $55.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. Net cash required related to acquisitions amounted to $25.0 million and $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. There was no divestiture activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 .
Financing Activities. Net cash required by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $362.8 million compared to $94.7 million of cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2017 . Additionally, $674.6 million was used to retire debt, including the redemption of the Company's Notes as discussed further below, and we borrowed $478.0 million , net of debt issuance costs, primarily from the issuance by TRL-2018 of secured railcar equipment notes. 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. Cash used to repurchase the Company's common stock totaled $102.2 million and $41.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. 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
On April 23, 2018, the Company issued a Notice of Redemption with respect to the Notes to redeem the Notes on June 1, 2018 at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest (including any contingent interest), if any, to but excluding June 1, 2018. In connection therewith, the Company also announced that holders of the Notes would have the right to convert their Notes into the Company’s common stock subject to certain terms, conditions and adjustments specified in the Notes and the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued, no later than May 30, 2018 (the “Conversion

Deadline”), at a current conversion rate equivalent to 41.4390 shares per each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Immediately prior to the Redemption Date, the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding was approximately $449.3 million.
Prior to the Conversion Deadline, holders of approximately $448.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes submitted notices for conversion of their Notes. As a result, on June 1, 2018, the Company redeemed the remaining approximately $0.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $0.8 million, including the accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, June 1, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Notes, the settlement of the Notes submitted for conversion occurred on various dates between May 30, 2018 and July 3, 2018. The Company elected to exercise its rights to settle the converting Notes in cash rather than in shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. As of July 3, 2018, the Company had completed conversion settlements for the remaining Notes, for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $646.6 million. Following the redemption and settlement of the conversions, there were no Notes outstanding under the indenture, and the indenture was satisfied and discharged in accordance with its terms.
The TILC warehouse loan facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $151.1 million in outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2018 . In March 2018 , the facility, previously totaling $1.0 billion, was extended through March 2021 at a reduced amount of $750.0 million at the Company's election. Under the renewed facility, the entire unused facility amount of $598.9 million was available as of June 30, 2018 based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. The warehouse loan facility is a non-recourse obligation 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 renewed facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in interest rate of 3.74% at June 30, 2018 . Amounts outstanding at maturity, absent renewal, are payable under the renewed facility in March 2022 .
In June 2018 , TRL-2018, a Delaware limited liability company and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through TILC, issued $482.5 million of TRL-2018 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes. The TRL-2018 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes consisted of two classes of notes with (i) an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million of Class A-1 Notes, and (ii) an aggregate principal amount of $282.5 million of Class A-2 Notes. The TRL-2018 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes were issued pursuant to a Master Indenture, dated June 20, 2018 between TRL-2018 and Wilmington Trust Company, as indenture trustee. The Class A-1 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.82% , are payable monthly, and have a stated final maturity date of June 17, 2048 . The Class A-2 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.62% , are payable monthly, and have a stated final maturity date of June 17, 2048 . The Notes are obligations of TRL-2018 only, secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon acquired and owned by TRL-2018, certain cash reserves, and other assets of TRL-2018.
As of June 30, 2018 , we had letters of credit issued under our $600 million revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $78.8 million , leaving $521.2 million available for borrowing. Other than these letters of credit, there were no borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2018 , 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 2017 , the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $ 500 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 . Under the program, 1,451,171 and 2,970,674 shares, respectively, were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , at a cost of approximately $50.1 million and $ 100.1 million , respectively, leaving a remaining authorization of $400.0 million . Certain shares of stock repurchased during June 2018 , totaling $3.8 million , were cash settled in July 2018 in accordance with normal settlement practices.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , the Company received proceeds from the sales of leased railcars as follows:

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, non-recourse promissory notes, and sale-leaseback transactions. As of June 30, 2018 , the Company had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities balances of $ 637.7 million , and $521.2 million available under its revolving credit facility. Under the TILC warehouse facility, $598.9 million was unused and available as of June 30, 2018 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.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
See Note 6 and Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information about off balance sheet arrangements.
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, 2018 . See Note 11 Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company's debt instruments.

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 AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in 2006 . The balance is being amortized interest expense over the term of the related debt.
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.

54

Table of Contents

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 life of the terminated hedge with $2.0 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following June 30, 2018 .
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 TRIP Master Funding interest rate hedge was terminated in August 2017 in connection with the refinancing of the related indebtedness. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance. The balance included in AOCL at the date the hedge was terminated is being amortized over the life of the terminated hedge with $0.2 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following June 30, 2018 .
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 twelve months following June 30, 2018 .
In May 2018 , TRL-2018 purchased an interest rate swaption derivative for $1.4 million to hedge the risk of potential interest rate increases prior to the TRL-2018 debt issuance. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance. The balance included in AOCL is being amortized over the life of the terminated hedge with $0.2 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following June 30, 2018 .
See Note 11 Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information 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. 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 profit for these instruments was not significant. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 for these instruments was not significant.

Contractual Obligation and Commercial Commitments
As of June 30, 2018 , contractual obligations related to letters of credit decreased to $78.8 million from $78.9 million from December 31, 2017 . 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, 2018 . See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements regarding operating lease obligations.

Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (or statements otherwise made by the Company or on the Company’s behalf from time to time in other reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), news releases, conferences, World Wide Web postings or otherwise) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, future financial performances, estimates, projections, goals, and forecasts. Trinity uses the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements, including whether or not the spin-off occurs. Potential factors, which could cause our actual results of operations to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others:
market conditions and demand for our business products and services;
the cyclical nature of industries in which we compete;
variations in weather in areas where our construction products are sold, used, or installed;
naturally-occurring events and disasters causing disruption to our manufacturing, product deliveries, and production capacity, thereby giving rise to an increase in expenses, loss of revenue, and property losses;
the timing of introduction of new products;
the timing and delivery of customer orders, sales of leased railcars, or a breach of customer contracts;
the credit worthiness of customers and their access to capital;
product price changes;
changes in mix of products sold;
the costs incurred to align manufacturing capacity with demand and the extent of its utilization;
the operating leverage and efficiencies that can be achieved by our manufacturing businesses;
availability and costs of steel, component parts, supplies, and other raw materials;
competition and other competitive factors;
changing technologies;
surcharges and other fees added to fixed pricing agreements for steel, component parts, supplies and other raw materials;
interest rates and capital costs;
counter-party risks for financial instruments;
long-term funding of our operations;
changes in our stock price resulting in a dilutive impact on earnings per share related to conversion features in our financing instruments;
taxes;
the stability of the governments and political and business conditions in certain foreign countries, particularly Mexico;
changes in import and export quotas and regulations;
business conditions in emerging economies;
costs and results of litigation, including trial and appellate costs and supersedeas bonding costs;
changes in accounting standards or inaccurate estimates or assumptions in the application of accounting policies;
legal, regulatory, and environmental issues, including compliance of our products with mandated specifications, standards, or testing criteria and obligations to remove and replace our products following installation or to recall our products and install different products manufactured by us or our competitors;
actions by the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government relative to federal government budgeting, taxation policies, government expenditures, U.S. borrowing/debt ceiling limits, and trade policies, including tariffs;
the use of social or digital media to disseminate false, misleading and/or unreliable or inaccurate information;
the inability to sufficiently protect our intellectual property rights;
if the proposed spin-off transaction is not completed;
if the Company does not realize some or all of the benefits expected to result from the spin-off, or if such benefits are delayed;
the Company's ongoing businesses may be adversely affected and subject to certain risks and consequences as a result of pursuing the spin-off transaction;
if the proposed spin-off transaction is completed, the trading price of the Company's common stock will decline as it will no longer reflect the value of the infrastructure-related businesses;
if the distribution of shares of Arcosa, together with certain related transactions, does not qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company's stockholders and the Company could be subject to significant tax liability; and
if the spin-off transaction does not comply with state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws and legal dividend requirements.

To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided , however , that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the sixtieth (60 th ) day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the tenth (10 th ) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

To be properly before the meeting, the business to be conducted must be specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 1.      Right to Indemnification . Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or an officer of the corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter, an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or trustee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article VI with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation.






Section 2.      Right to Advancement of Expenses . In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 1 of this Article VI , an indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 2 or otherwise. The Board of Directors, may, in the manner set forth herein, and upon approval of such indemnitee, authorize the corporation’s counsel to represent such indemnitee in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the corporation is a party to such action, suit or proceeding.

Section 3.      Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit . If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of this Article VI is not paid in full by the corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) business days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if successful in whole or in part in any such suit (including, without limitation, if the suit is dismissed without prejudice), or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VI or otherwise shall be on the corporation.
    
Section 4.      Determination Regarding Standard of Conduct . Any indemnification under this Article VI (unless ordered by a court) shall be paid by the corporation unless a determination is made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (2) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (3) by the stockholders, that indemnification is not proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has not met the requisite standard of conduct under applicable law.






Section 5.      Non-Exclusivity of Rights . The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors or otherwise.
    
Section 6.      Insurance . The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 7.      Nature of Rights . The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article VI shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer or trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VI that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.
    
Section 8.      Severability . If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer of the corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

shall equal the amounts that would have been received if no withholding or deduction had been made; provided that the Indemnitors will not be required to indemnify or gross‑up for such taxes and withholdings to the extent imposed as a result of a failure of such Initial Purchaser to provide any duly executed and completed form or document described in the last sentence of this paragraph upon the execution of this Agreement or to be delivered thereafter upon the reasonable request of its Indemnitors which evidences such Initial Purchaser’s entitlement to a complete exemption for such taxes and withholdings.

(ix) The execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture, the other Transaction Documents to which the Issuer or TILC is a party, and this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Offered Notes and compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the Issuer, TILC, or any of their properties, or any agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or TILC is a party or by which the Issuer or TILC is bound or to which any of the properties of the Issuer or TILC is subject, or the organizational or formation documents of the Issuer or TILC, and the Issuer has full power and authority to authorize, issue and sell the Offered Notes as contemplated by this Agreement;

(xiv) The statements contained in the Preliminary Offering Circular and the Offering Circular under the captions “Certain Considerations for ERISA and Other Benefit Plans” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”, to the extent that they constitute matters of federal law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, while not purporting to discuss all possible consequences of investment in the Offered Notes, are correct in all material respects with respect to those consequences or matters that are discussed therein.
(xv) In a properly presented and decided case, in the event TILC became a debtor in a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy case under the Bankruptcy Code, the bankruptcy court would not substantially consolidate the assets and liabilities of the Issuer with those of TILC.

(k) Each of TILC and the Issuer shall have delivered to the Initial Purchasers a certificate (it being understood that a certificate of TILC in its capacity as sole equity member and manager of the Issuer shall be sufficient for purposes of the Issuer’s compliance with this requirement), dated the Closing Date, of its secretary certifying its certificate of incorporation, limited liability company agreement, bylaws or other organizational documents; board or similar resolutions authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, as applicable; and the incumbency of all officers that signed any of the Transaction Documents.
(l) The Initial Purchasers shall have received a certificate from a nationally recognized insurance broker with respect to the public liability insurance required by Section 5.04(f) of the Indenture.
(m) Any Transaction Documents which are required to be executed on or prior to the Closing Date that have not been executed by the date of this Agreement will be subject to a condition precedent that requires such agreements to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers.

Documents described as being “in the agreed form” are documents which are in the form reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and Mayer Brown LLP.
The Issuer and TILC will furnish the Initial Purchasers with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Initial Purchasers reasonably request.
8. Indemnification and Contribution . (a) The Issuer and TILC will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Initial Purchaser and (ii) its respective officers, partners, members, directors, employees and affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the “ Initial Purchaser Representatives ”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Initial Purchaser or the Initial Purchaser





Representatives may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) relate to, arise out of or are based upon (1) any breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Issuer or TILC contained herein, (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any document comprising a part of the Offering Document, any Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Communication or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Additional Issuer Information or (3) any omission or alleged omission to state, in any document comprising a part of the Offering Documents, any Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Communication, or any amendment of or supplement thereto, or any Additional Issuer Information, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, including, without limitation, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arising out of or based upon the Issuer’s or TILC’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5 of this Agreement, and will reimburse each Initial Purchaser and the Initial Purchaser Representatives for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that none of the Issuer or TILC will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer or TILC by such Initial Purchaser specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.
(b) Each Initial Purchaser severally and not jointly will indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Issuer and TILC and (ii) their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer or TILC within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the “ Seller Representatives ”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Issuer, TILC or the Seller Representatives may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any document comprising a part of the Offering Document, any Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Communication or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary offering circular, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer or TILC by the Initial Purchasers specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuer, TILC or the Seller Representatives in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Initial Purchasers consists of the following information in the Offering Document: under the caption “Plan of Distribution”, the second sentence of the second paragraph, the sixth paragraph, and the second and third sentences of the thirteenth paragraph thereunder; provided, however, that the Initial Purchasers





shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arising out of or based upon the Issuer’s or TILC’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that differing interests may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties, and the indemnifying party will reimburse any legal expenses incurred by the indemnified party having separate counsel, as incurred. And after any such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which such indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.






(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and TILC on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Offered Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer and TILC on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer and TILC on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer bear to the total discounts, commissions and fees received by the Initial Purchasers from the Issuer under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer, TILC or the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total discounts, commissions and fees received by such Initial Purchaser from the Issuer. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.
(e) The obligations of the Issuer and TILC under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuer or TILC may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of each Initial Purchaser under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which it may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Issuer or TILC within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
9. Default of Initial Purchasers. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for the Offered Notes agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchasers (the “ Defaulting Initial Purchasers ”) hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the non‑Defaulting Initial Purchasers (the “ Non‑Defaulting Initial Purchasers ”) may make arrangements satisfactory to the Issuer for the purchase of the Offered Notes by other persons, including any of the Non‑Defaulting Initial Purchasers, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the Non‑Defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally and not jointly to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions that the amount of Offered Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule A bears to the aggregate amount of Offered Notes set forth opposite the names of all the Non‑Defaulting





Initial Purchasers) the Offered Notes which the Defaulting Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Offered Notes which the Defaulting Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of the Offered Notes set forth in Schedule A , the Non‑Defaulting Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Offered Notes. If the Non‑Defaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Offered Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any Non‑Defaulting Initial Purchaser, the Issuer or TILC, except as provided in Section 10. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes any person substituted for an Initial Purchaser under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve any Defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability for its default.
10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuer, TILC or their respective officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, the Issuer or TILC, or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Notes. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Notes by the Initial Purchasers is not consummated, the Issuer and TILC shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by them pursuant to Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Issuer, TILC and the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect. Further, if the purchase of the Offered Notes by the Initial Purchasers is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9, the Issuer or TILC will reimburse each Initial Purchaser for all out‑of‑pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by it in connection with the offering of the Offered Notes.
11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Initial Purchasers will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to each of the Initial Purchasers at its respective address below:

14. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship . Each of the Issuer and TILC acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Each Initial Purchaser has been retained solely to act as an initial purchaser in connection with the initial purchase, offering and resale of the Offered Notes and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between any of the Issuer or TILC or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees, on the one hand, and such Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Offering Document, irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is advising the Issuer or TILC on other matters;
(b) the purchase and sale of the Offered Notes pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Offered Notes and any related discount and commissions, is an arm’s‑length commercial transaction among the Initial Purchasers, the Issuer and TILC, and the Issuer and TILC are capable of evaluating and understanding, and do understand and hereby accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(c) the Issuer and TILC have been advised that the Initial Purchasers and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Issuer and TILC and the Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to any of the Issuer or TILC by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and
(d) each of the Issuer or TILC waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against any Initial Purchaser for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that no Initial Purchaser shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect) to any of the Issuer or TILC in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of any of the Issuer or TILC, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Issuer or TILC.











15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws (other than Section 5‑1401 of the New York General Obligations Law).
Each of the Issuer and TILC hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York and appellate courts from any thereof in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, WHICH WAIVER IS INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY.
16. No Petition in Bankruptcy. Each Initial Purchaser agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Offered Notes, such Initial Purchaser will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer an action in bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.
17. Integration. As to the matters set forth in this Agreement, so long as this Agreement is in full force and effect, the provisions herein shall supersede any and all prior agreements as to such subject matter, except any Engagement Letter and any other fee arrangement entered into between any Initial Purchaser, the Issuer and TILC.
18. Amendments . This Agreement may not be amended, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto.
19. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement, unless such continued effectiveness of this Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.
20. USA Patriot Act . Each of the Issuer and TILC acknowledges that the Initial Purchasers are required by U.S. Federal law, in an effort to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or corporation who opens an account or enters into a business relationship with a financial institution.













21. Titles . BAML is hereby designated as Sole Structuring Agent, BAML and CS are hereby designated as Joint Bookrunners, and DVB, CA and Wells are hereby designated as Co‑Managers.

2



Such Security Interests are made in trust and subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Indenture as collateral security for the payment and performance in full by the Issuer of all Outstanding Obligations and for the prompt payment in full by the Issuer of the respective amounts due and the prompt performance in full by the Issuer of all of its other obligations, in each case, under the Issuer Documents, the Equipment Notes, any Liquidity Facility Documents (except for any Liquidity Facility Documents that are identified in a Series Supplement as being excluded from the Secured Obligations), the Hedge Agreements and the other Operative Agreements to which the Issuer is a party (collectively, the “ Secured Obligations ”), all as provided in this Master Indenture.
For the avoidance of doubt it is expressly understood and agreed that, to the extent the UCC is revised subsequent to the date hereof such that the definition of any of the foregoing terms included in the description of Collateral is changed, the parties hereto desire that any property which is included in such changed definitions which would not otherwise be included in the foregoing grant on the date hereof be included in such grant immediately upon the effective date of such revision.
The Indenture Trustee acknowledges such Security Interests, accepts the duties created hereby in accordance with the provisions hereof and agrees to hold and administer all Collateral for the use and benefit of all present and future Secured Parties.
The Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes the Indenture Trustee at any time, and from time to time, to file, without the signature of the Issuer, in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction necessary or desirable to perfect the Security Interests granted herein, any initial financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that (i) indicate or describe the Collateral regardless of whether any particular asset constituting Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC in the same manner as described herein or in any other manner as the Indenture Trustee may determine in its sole discretion is necessary or desirable to ensure the perfection of the Security Interests granted herein, or (ii) provide any other information required by Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment, including whether the Issuer is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to the Issuer. The Issuer agrees to furnish the information described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence to the Indenture Trustee promptly upon the Indenture Trustee’s request. Nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to create an obligation of the Indenture Trustee to file any financing statement, continuation statements or amendment thereto.
1. Priority . The Issuer intends the Security Interests in favor of the Indenture Trustee to be prior to all other Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) in respect of the Collateral, and the Issuer has taken and shall take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders and other Secured Parties, a first priority, perfected security interest in the Collateral, to the extent that perfection can be achieved by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement in any UCC jurisdiction and/or other similar filings with the STB, subject to Permitted Encumbrances. With respect to Leases related to Portfolio Railcars where the Lessee thereunder is a Canadian resident, the Issuer has taken and shall take or cause to be taken all actions necessary or advisable to obtain and maintain, in favor of the Indenture Trustee, a first priority, perfected

3



security interest in the related Railcars including, without limitation, making all such filings, registrations and recordings with the Registrar General of Canada as are necessary or advisable to obtain and maintain a first priority, perfected security interest in such Railcars (subject to Permitted Encumbrances). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be required to make any filings, registrations or recordation in Mexico or under any Provincial Personal Property Security Act or other non-federal legislation in Canada. The Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights, remedies and recourses with respect to the Collateral afforded a secured party under all applicable law in addition to, and not in limitation of, the other rights, remedies and recourses granted to the Indenture Trustee by this Master Indenture or any law relating to the creation and perfection of security interests in the Collateral.
2. Continuance of Security .
(a)    Except as otherwise provided under “Releases” in subsection 4(f) below, the Security Interests created under this Master Indenture shall remain in force as continuing security to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders and other Secured Parties, until the repayment and performance in full of all Secured Obligations, notwithstanding any intermediate payment or satisfaction of any part of the Secured Obligations or any settlement of account or any other act, event or matter whatsoever, and shall secure Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the ultimate balance of the moneys and liabilities hereby secured.
(b)    No assurance, security or payment which may be avoided or adjusted under the law, including under any enactment relating to bankruptcy or insolvency and no release, settlement or discharge given or made by the Indenture Trustee on the faith of any such assurance, security or payment, shall prejudice or affect the right of the Indenture Trustee to recover the Secured Obligations from the Issuer (including any moneys which it may be compelled to pay or refund under the provisions of any applicable insolvency legislation of any applicable jurisdiction and any costs payable by it pursuant to or otherwise incurred in connection therewith) or to enforce the Security Interests granted under this Master Indenture to the full extent of the Secured Obligations and accordingly, if any release, settlement or discharge is or has been given hereunder and there is subsequently any such avoidance or adjustment under the law, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that such release, settlement or discharge shall be void and of no effect whatsoever.
(c)    If the Indenture Trustee shall have grounds in its absolute discretion acting in good faith for believing that the Issuer may be insolvent pursuant to the provisions of any applicable insolvency legislation in any relevant jurisdiction as at the date of any payment made by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee ( provided that the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to inquire or investigate and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of same absent written notice received by a responsible officer of the Indenture Trustee), the Indenture Trustee shall retain the Security Interests contained in or created pursuant to this Master Indenture until the expiration of a period of one month plus such statutory period within which any assurance, security, guarantee or payment can be avoided or invalidated after the payment and discharge in full of all Secured Obligations notwithstanding any release, settlement, discharge or arrangement which may be given or made by the Indenture Trustee on, or as a consequence of, such payment or discharge of liability, provided that, if at any time within such period, the Issuer shall commence a voluntary winding-up or other voluntary case or other proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization,

4



liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Issuer or the Issuer’s debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an administrator, a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property or if the Issuer shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against the Issuer, or making a general assignment for the benefit of any creditor of the Issuer under any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction, the Indenture Trustee shall continue to retain such Security Interest for such further period as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine on advice of counsel and such Security Interest shall be deemed to have continued to have been held as security for the payment and discharge to the Indenture Trustee of all Secured Obligations.
3. No Transfer of Duties . The Security Interests granted hereby are granted as security only and shall not (i) transfer or in any way affect or modify, or relieve the Issuer from, any obligation to perform or satisfy any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed or satisfied by the Issuer under or in connection with this Master Indenture or any Issuer Document or any Collateral or (ii) impose any obligation on any of the Secured Parties or the Indenture Trustee to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement or impose any liability on any of the Secured Parties or the Indenture Trustee for any act or omission on the part of the Issuer relative thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Issuer contained therein or made in connection therewith unless otherwise expressly provided therein.
4. Collateral .
(a)     Generally . On each Closing Date, all Instruments, Chattel Paper, Securities or other documents, including, without limitation, any Chattel Paper Originals evidencing the Leases described on a schedule to a Series Supplement, and SUBI Certificates, representing or evidencing Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties pursuant hereto all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee. Subject to subsections (c) and (d) under this heading, until the termination of the Security Interest granted hereby, if the Issuer shall acquire (by purchase, contribution, substitution, replacement or otherwise) any additional Collateral evidenced by Instruments or Chattel Paper at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Issuer shall promptly pledge and deposit the Collateral so evidenced as security for the Secured Obligations with the Indenture Trustee and deliver same to the custodial possession of the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 5.04(v), and the Indenture Trustee shall accept under this Master Indenture such delivery.
(b)     Safekeeping . The Indenture Trustee agrees to maintain the Collateral received by it (including possession of the Chattel Paper Originals) and all records and documents relating thereto at such address or addresses as may from time to time be specified by the Indenture Trustee in writing to each Secured Party and the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall keep all Collateral and related documentation in its possession separate and apart from all other property that it is holding in its possession and from its own general assets and shall maintain accurate

5



records pertaining to the Permitted Investments and Indenture Accounts included in the Collateral in such a manner as shall enable the Indenture Trustee, the Secured Parties and the Issuer to verify the accuracy of such record keeping. The Indenture Trustee’s books and records shall at all times show that to the extent that any Collateral is held by the Indenture Trustee such Collateral shall be held as agent of and custodian for the Secured Parties and is not the property of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee will promptly report to each Secured Party and the Issuer any failure on its part to hold the Collateral as provided in this subsection and will promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.
(c)     Limitation on Non-Severable Mixed Riders . The percentage of Portfolio Railcars in the aggregate (measured by Adjusted Value) contained on Non-Severable Mixed Riders shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Portfolio Railcars in the aggregate (measured by Adjusted Value).
(d)     Custody of Leases . At the request of the Issuer from time to time, the parties shall implement a custodial arrangement with respect to Non-Severable Mixed Riders whereby Wilmington Trust Company, as custodian (or any other financial institution or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the parties hereto) will maintain custody of the original of such Non-Severable Mixed Riders for the benefit of the Secured Parties and any owner (other than the Issuer) of a railcar covered by such Non-Severable Mixed Rider, as their interests may appear. Such custodial arrangement will be evidenced by a custodial agreement to contain terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
(e)     Notifications . The Indenture Trustee at the expense of the Issuer shall promptly forward to the Issuer and the Servicer a copy of each notice, request, report, or other document relating to any Issuer Document included in the Collateral that is received by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee from any Person other than the Issuer or the Servicer on and after the Closing Date
(f)     Releases . If at any time all or any part of the Collateral is to be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or any Person on its or their behalf (but in any such case only as required or permitted by the Operative Agreements), the Indenture Trustee upon receipt of written notice from the Issuer or the Administrator, which notice shall be delivered at least five (5) Business Days prior to such sale, transfer, assignment or disposal, on or prior to the date of such sale, transfer, assignment or disposal (but not to be effective until the date of such sale, transfer, assignment or disposal) (or, in the case of a Lessee’s exercise of a purchase option, on, immediately prior to or after the date of such purchase, as may be requested by the Issuer or the Administrator), at the expense of the Issuer, execute such instruments of release prepared by the Issuer or the Administrator, in recordable form, if necessary, in favor of the Issuer or any other Person as the Issuer or the Administrator may reasonably request, deliver the relevant part of the Collateral in its possession to the Issuer, otherwise release the Security Interest evidenced by this Master Indenture on such Collateral and release and deliver such Collateral to the Issuer and issue confirmation, to the relevant purchaser, transferee, assignee, insurer, and such other Persons as the Issuer may direct, upon being requested to do so by the Issuer, that the relevant Collateral is no longer subject to the Security Interests. Any such release to the Issuer shall be deemed to release or reassign as appropriate in respect of the Collateral such grants and assignments arising hereunder.

6



At the request of the Issuer, upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the payment in full in cash of all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Equipment Notes and all actual and contingent amounts (other than inchoate indemnification amounts) payable under the Hedge Agreements, the Indenture Trustee shall release the Security Interests in the Portfolio and the other Collateral hereunder. In connection therewith, the Indenture Trustee agrees, at the expense of the Issuer and without the necessity of any consent from any Secured Party, to execute such instruments of release, in recordable form if necessary, in favor of the Issuer as the Issuer may reasonably request in respect of the release of such Portfolio and other Collateral from the Security Interests, and to otherwise release the security interests evidenced by this Master Indenture in and with respect to such Collateral to the Issuer and to issue confirmation to such Persons as the Issuer may direct, upon being requested to do so by the Issuer, that such Collateral is no longer subject to the Security Interests.
In connection with an Optional Redemption, concurrently with the deposit of the Redemption Price into the Redemption/Defeasance Account, if such Optional Redemption shall effect a redemption in whole of a Series of Equipment Notes then Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been authorized to permit a release of Collateral in accordance with this paragraph. In order to effect any such Collateral release, the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer will identify in a Release Identification Letter a pool of individual Railcars and Leases (i) that were originally acquired by the Issuer on or prior to the issuance date of the Series being redeemed or substituted therefor, and (ii) that if such pool were released from the lien of this Master Indenture, would not result in (A) the Issuer being in violation of the Concentration Limits immediately after such proposed release of Collateral, (B) the Issuer’s remaining portfolio of Railcars immediately after such proposed release of Collateral having an average age which is more than twenty percent (20%) greater than the average age of the Issuer’s portfolio of Railcars immediately prior to such proposed release of Collateral, (C) the Issuer’s remaining portfolio of Leases immediately after such proposed release of Collateral having an average remaining term which is less than eighty percent (80%) of the average remaining term of the Issuer’s portfolio of Leases immediately prior to such proposed release of Collateral, (D) the Book LTV Ratio immediately after such proposed release of Collateral being greater than the Book LTV Ratio immediately prior to such proposed release of Collateral and (E) the Current LTV Ratio immediately after such proposed release of Collateral being greater than the Current LTV Ratio immediately prior to such proposed release of Collateral. For this purpose:
Release Identification Letter ” means a letter from the Servicer (on behalf of the Issuer) addressed to the Indenture Trustee that identifies a pool of Railcars and Leases referred to in the preceding paragraph and certifies as to the satisfaction of the conditions in clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively and exclusively on a Release Identification Letter without further investigation in connection with any release contemplated by the preceding paragraph.
Book LTV Ratio ” means, as of any date of determination, a ratio equivalent to a fraction, the numerator of which is the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes as of such date of determination, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Adjusted Value of the Portfolio Railcars as of such date of determination.

7



Current LTV Ratio ” means, as of any date of determination, a ratio equivalent to a fraction, the numerator of which is the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Equipment Notes as of such date of determination, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Special Appraised Value of the Portfolio Railcars as of such date of determination.
Special Appraised Value ” means the value assigned to the Railcars by Rail Solutions, Inc. or another independent railcar appraiser that is of comparable standing and reputation in the good faith judgment of the Servicer, as performed no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the release date and obtained by the Servicer at the cost of the Issuer.
5. Exercise of the Issuer’s Rights Concerning the Servicing Agreement . The Issuer hereby agrees that, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so long as this Master Indenture has not been terminated and the Security Interests on the Collateral released, the Indenture Trustee (acting at the Direction of the Requisite Majority) shall have the exclusive right to exercise and enforce all of the rights of the Issuer set forth in Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.5 (other than the right to propose the list of replacement managers pursuant to Section 8.5(b)) and 8.6 of the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, the rights to deliver all notices, declare a Servicer Termination Event, terminate the Servicing Agreement, elect to replace the Servicer and/or elect to appoint a Successor Servicer and select any replacement Servicer, and the right to increase the Servicing Fee and/or add an incentive fee payable to any such Successor Servicer); provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer shall retain the non-exclusive right to approve the list of proposed replacement Servicers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and to deliver notices under Section 8.2 of the Servicing Agreement and declare a Servicer Termination Event thereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the Indenture Trustee as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all rights described in this Granting Clause provision in its place and stead.

Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Note, the holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, give directions for the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of the interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Note. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar of (a) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from a DTC Participant directing the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note to be exchanged or transferred, (b) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the account of the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream or another Clearing Agency Participant, as the case may be, to be credited with the increase and the name of the account and (c) certificates in the forms of Exhibits A-5 and A-7 hereto, respectively, given by the Noteholder and the proposed transferee of the interest, the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce the 144A Book-Entry Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note to be so exchanged or transferred and the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall instruct DTC, concurrently with the reduction, to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Book-Entry Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in the instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the 144A Book-Entry Note.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Initial Purchaser may exchange beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note held by it for interests in the 144A Book-Entry Note only after delivery by the Initial Purchaser of instructions to DTC for the exchange, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-6 hereto. Upon receipt of the instructions provided in the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note to be so transferred and shall instruct DTC to increase the principal amount of the 144A Book-Entry Note and credit or cause to be credited to the account of the placement agent a beneficial interest in the 144A Book-Entry Note having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Book-Entry Note was reduced upon the transfer pursuant to the instructions provided in the first sentence of this paragraph.
If a Book-Entry Note is exchanged for a Definitive Note, such Equipment Notes may be exchanged or transferred for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of the three immediately preceding paragraphs (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that the exchanges or transfers comply with Rule 144 or Regulation S, as the case may be) and as may be from time to time adopted by the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.08 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Equipment Notes . If any Equipment Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer shall issue, upon the written request of the Noteholder thereof and presentation of the Equipment Note or satisfactory evidence of destruction, loss or theft thereof to the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar shall deliver in exchange therefor or in replacement thereof, a new Equipment Note of the same Series and Class

20



(if applicable), payable to such Noteholder in the same principal amount, of the same maturity, with the same payment schedule, bearing the same interest rate and dated the date of its authentication. If the Equipment Note being replaced has become mutilated, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Indenture Trustee or a Note Registrar and forwarded to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or such Note Registrar. If the Equipment Note being replaced has been destroyed, lost or stolen, the Noteholder thereof shall furnish to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or a Note Registrar (i) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and such Note Registrar harmless and (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and such Note Registrar of the destruction, loss or theft of such Equipment Note and of the ownership thereof. The Noteholder will be required to pay any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such exchange or replacement and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee and any Note Registrar) connected therewith.
Section 2.09 Payments of Transfer Taxes . Upon the transfer of any Equipment Note or Equipment Notes pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require from the party requesting such new Equipment Note or Equipment Notes payment of a sum to reimburse the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee for, or to provide funds for the payment of, any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Section 2.10 Book-Entry Registration .
(a) Upon the issuance of any Book-Entry Notes, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the individual beneficial interests represented by such Book-Entry Notes to the accounts of a Direct Participant. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Note will be limited to DTC Participants or Persons who hold interests through DTC Participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to interests of DTC Participants) and the records of DTC Participants (with respect to interests of Persons other than DTC Participants).
(b) So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of a Book-Entry Note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Noteholder represented by such Book-Entry Note for all purposes under this Master Indenture, the Series Supplements and the Book-Entry Notes. Unless (a) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for a Book-Entry Note with respect to a Series, (b) the Issuer elects to terminate the book-entry system for the Book-Entry Notes with respect to a Series, or (c) an Event of Default has occurred and the Indenture Trustee acting at the Direction of the Control Party for the applicable Series certifies that continuation of a book-entry system through DTC (or a successor) for the Equipment Notes of such Series is no longer in the best interests of the Noteholders of such Series, owners of beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Note of such Series will not be entitled to have any portion of such Book-Entry Note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Equipment Notes in definitive form and will not be considered to be the owners or Noteholders under this Master Indenture, the applicable Series Supplement or the Book-Entry Notes. In addition, no beneficial owner of an interest in a Book-Entry Note will be able to transfer that interest except in

21



accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures (in addition to those under the related Series Supplement, if applicable, and, if applicable, those of Clearstream and Euroclear).
(c) Investors may hold their interest in a Regulation S Book-Entry Note through Clearstream or Euroclear, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. After the Exchange Date, investors also may hold such interests through organizations other than Clearstream and Euroclear that are DTC Participants. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests in a Regulation S Book-Entry Note on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in a Regulation S Book-Entry Note in customers’ accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. Citibank, N.A. will initially act as depositary for Clearstream and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels Office, will initially act as depositary for Euroclear. Investors may hold their interests in a 144A Book-Entry Note directly through DTC, if they are DTC Participants, or indirectly through organizations that are DTC Participants.
(d) All payments of principal and interest will be made by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuer in immediately available funds or the equivalent, so long as DTC continues to make its Same-Day Funds Settlement System available to the Issuer.
None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such registration instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Persons in whose name the Definitive Notes are registered in the Register as Noteholders hereunder. Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be liable if the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor Noteholder.
Definitive Notes of a Series will be transferable and exchangeable for Definitive Notes of the same Series at the office of the Indenture Trustee or the office of a Note Registrar upon compliance with the requirements set forth herein. In the case of a transfer of only part of a holding of Definitive Notes, a new Definitive Note shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the part transferred and a new Definitive Note in respect of the balance of the holding not transferred shall be issued to the transferor and may be obtained at the office of the applicable Note Registrar.
(e) Any beneficial interest in one of the Book-Entry Notes of any Series that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Book-Entry Note of the same Series will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Book-Entry Note and become an interest in such other Book-Entry Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Book-Entry Note for as long as it remains such an interest.
(f) Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a 144A Book-Entry Note pursuant to Section 2.07 shall bear the Private Placement Legend applicable to a 144A Book-Entry Note set forth in Section 2.02 hereof.

22




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

(D) the Purchase Price for each such Railcar does not exceed its Initial Appraised Value;
(E) except in connection with Railcars being acquired in a Replacement Exchange for Portfolio Railcars that were not subject to a Lease at the time of the disposition thereof by the Issuer, the Railcars being acquired are each subject to a Permitted Lease; and all actions (including the applicable UCC, STB or Registrar General of Canada filings) shall have been taken to cause the Railcars being assigned to be subject to a first priority security interest in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that no such actions will be required to be taken in Mexico or under any Provincial Personal Property Security Act or other non-federal legislation in Canada); and
(F) that the Railcars will be free and clear of Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances; and
(iii) purchase or otherwise acquire additional Railcars in connection with the issuance of an Additional Series.
(c) Permitted Railcar Acquisition . A Railcar acquisition by the Issuer complying with the provisions in subsection (b) immediately above constitutes a “ Permitted Railcar Acquisition ”. If two or more Railcars are being acquired in a Permitted Railcar Acquisition, the foregoing requirements in subsection (b) will be determined on an aggregate basis.
(d) Modification Payments and Capital Expenditures . The Issuer will not make any capital expenditures for the purpose of effecting any optional improvement or modification of any Portfolio Railcar or Parts outside of the ordinary course of business, except that the Issuer may make Optional Modifications and Required Modifications in its discretion and subject to the following limitations on the manner in which such Required Modifications and Optional Modifications may be funded:
(i) Required Modifications may be funded out of the Expense Account in accordance with Section 3.06, from distributions to the Issuer from the Flow of Funds, or from Capital Contributions made in accordance with Section 3.17; and
(ii) Optional Modifications may be funded from distributions to the Issuer pursuant to the Flow of Funds, or from Capital Contributions made in accordance with Section 3.17.
In the case of any Optional Modification, the Issuer prior to undertaking such Optional Modification shall have determined, based upon consultation with the Servicer, that the Optional Modification is not expected to decrease the marketability of the Portfolio Railcar as a result of the expenditure on such Optional Modification.

79




(e) Leases .
(i) The Issuer will not surrender possession of any Portfolio Railcar to any Person (other than the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement) other than for purposes of maintenance or overhaul or pursuant to a Permitted Lease or for storage purposes pending the Servicer’s procurement of a Permitted Lease thereon.
(ii) The Issuer will, and will cause the Servicer in general to use its pro forma lease agreement or agreements approved by the Administrator, as such pro forma lease agreement or agreements may be revised for purposes of the Issuer specifically or generally from time to time by the Servicer in consultation with the Administrator (collectively, the “ Pro Forma Lease ”), for use by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer as a starting point in the negotiation of Future Leases. However, with respect to any Future Lease entered into in connection with (x) the renewal or extension of a related Lease, (y) the leasing of a Portfolio Railcar to a Person that is or was a Lessee under a pre-existing Lease, or (z) the leasing of a Portfolio Railcar to a Person that is or was a Lessee under an operating lease of a Railcar that is being managed or serviced by the Servicer, a form of lease substantially similar to such pre-existing Lease or operating lease, as the case may be, may be used by the Servicer, in lieu of the Pro Forma Lease on behalf of the Issuer as a starting point in the negotiation of such Future Lease. The terms of the Pro Forma Lease may be revised from time to time by the Servicer, provided that any such revisions shall be consistent with a Lease originated thereunder being a Permitted Lease.
(f) Concentration Limits . The Issuer will not sell, purchase, otherwise take any action with respect to any Portfolio Railcar if entering into such proposed sale, or other action would cause the Portfolio to no longer comply with the Concentration Limits; provided , that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to the renewal by the Issuer of an Existing Lease. Also, the Issuer will not consummate a Permitted Discretionary Sale if the effect of such action is or would be to cause noncompliance with any Concentration Limit. For the avoidance of doubt, noncompliance with any Concentration Limit that results from the Total Loss of Portfolio Railcars shall not constitute a breach of this covenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the merger or consolidation of one or more Lessees results in an aggregate Adjusted Value that exceeds the Customer Concentration Limitation, the Issuers will not be obligated to address such noncompliance, however, additional Portfolio Railcars leased to such Lessee may not be purchased by the Issuers unless, upon purchase, the Adjusted Value of the Issuers’ Portfolio Railcars leased to such individual Lessee will meet the applicable Customer Concentration Limitation.
Section 5.04 Operating Covenants . The Issuer covenants with the Indenture Trustee as follows, provided that any of the following covenants with respect to the Portfolio Railcars shall not be deemed to have been breached by virtue of any act or omission of a Lessee or sub-lessee, or of any Person which has possession of a Portfolio Railcar for the purpose of repairs, maintenance, modification or storage, or by virtue of any requisition, seizure, or confiscation of a Portfolio Railcar (other than seizure or confiscation arising from a breach by the Issuer of such covenant) (each, a “ Third Party Event ”), so long as (i) none of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator has consented to such Third Party Event; and (ii) the Issuer (or the Servicer on its behalf) as the Lessor of such Portfolio Railcar promptly and diligently takes such commercially

80



reasonable actions as a leading railcar operating lessor would reasonably take in respect of such Third Party Event, including, as deemed appropriate (taking into account, among other things, the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Portfolio Railcar is located or operated), seeking to compel such Lessee or other relevant Person to remedy such Third Party Event or seeking to repossess the relevant Portfolio Railcar:
(a) Ownership . The Issuer will (i) on all occasions on which the ownership of each Portfolio Railcar is relevant, make it clear to third parties that title to the same is held by the Issuer, and (ii) not do, or knowingly permit to be done, or omit, or knowingly permit to be omitted, any act or thing which might reasonably be expected to jeopardize the rights of the Issuer as owner of each Portfolio Railcar, except as contemplated by the Operative Agreements.
(b) Compliance with Law; Maintenance of Permits . The Issuer will (i) comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, (ii) obtain all material governmental (including regulatory) registrations, certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations required for the use and operation of the Portfolio Railcars owned by it, (iii) not cause or knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, any Lessee to operate any Portfolio Railcar under any related Lease in any material respect contrary to any Applicable Law, and (iv) not knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, any Lessee not to obtain all material governmental (including regulatory) registrations, certificates, licenses, permits and authorizations required for such Lessee’s use and operation of any Portfolio Railcar under any related operating Lease; provided, however, that the Issuer may, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, contest the validity or application of any such Applicable Law with respect to the Portfolio Railcars in any manner that does not (i) materially interfere with the use, possession or operation of any of the Portfolio Railcars, (ii) materially adversely affect the rights or interests of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in any of the Portfolio Railcars, (iii) expose the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to criminal sanctions or (iv) violate any maintenance requirements contained in any insurance policy required to be maintained by the Issuer if such violation could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the coverage under such insurance policy. The Issuer will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in reasonable detail of any such contest.
(c) Forfeiture . The Issuer will not do anything, and will not knowingly permit, directly or indirectly, any Lessee to do anything, which may reasonably be expected to expose any Portfolio Railcar to forfeiture, impoundment, detention, appropriation, damage or destruction (other than any forfeiture, impoundment, detention or appropriation which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings) unless (i) adequate resources have been made available by the Issuer or the applicable Lessee for any payment which may arise or be required in connection with such forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation or proceedings taken in respect thereof, and (ii) such forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation or the continued existence thereof does not give rise to any material likelihood of the assets to which such forfeiture, impounding, detention or appropriation relates or any interest in such assets being sold, permanently forfeited or otherwise lost. In the event of a forfeiture, impoundment, detention or appropriation of such Portfolio Railcar not constituting a Total Loss, the Issuer will use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt release of such Portfolio Railcar.

81




(d) Maintenance of Assets . The Issuer will, with respect to each Portfolio Railcar under Lease, cause, directly or indirectly, such Portfolio Railcar to be maintained in a state of repair and condition consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading railcar operating lessors with respect to similar railcars under lease, taking into consideration, among other things, the identity of the relevant Lessee (including the credit standing and operating experience thereof), the age and condition of the Portfolio Railcar and the jurisdiction in which the Portfolio Railcar is or will be operated or in which the Lessee is based. In addition, the Issuer will, with respect to each Portfolio Railcar that is not subject to a Lease, maintain such Portfolio Railcar in a state of repair and condition consistent with the reasonable commercial practice of leading railcar operating lessors with respect to railcars not under lease.
(e) Notification of Loss, Theft, Damage or Destruction . The Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, and the Servicer, in writing, as soon as the Issuer becomes aware of any loss, theft, damage or destruction to any Portfolio Railcar or Portfolio Railcars if the potential cost of repair or replacement of such assets (without regard to any insurance claim related thereto) may exceed $1,000,000.
(f) Insurance . The Issuer covenants with the Indenture Trustee as follows:
(i) Insurance . The Issuer will at all times after the Closing Date, at its own expense, keep or cause the Insurance Manager under the Insurance Agreement to keep each Portfolio Railcar insured with insurers of recognized responsibility with a rating of at least A- by A.M. Best Company (or a comparable rating by a nationally or internationally recognized rating group of comparable stature) or by other insurers approved in writing by the Requisite Majority, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, in amounts and against risks and with deductibles and terms and conditions not less beneficial to the insured thereunder than the insurance, if any, maintained by the Servicer with respect to similar equipment which it owns or leases, but in no event shall such coverage be for amounts or against risks less than the Prudent Industry Practice.
(ii) Additional Insurance . In the event that the Issuer shall fail to maintain insurance as herein provided, the Indenture Trustee may at its option, upon prior written notice to the Issuer, provide such insurance and, in such event, the Issuer shall, upon demand from time to time reimburse the Indenture Trustee for the cost thereof together with interest from the date of payment thereof at the Stated Rate on the most recently issued Class of Equipment Notes (or, if more than one Class of Equipment Notes was issued on the same date, the lowest of the Stated Rates on such Classes, determined as of the most recent Determination Date), on the amount of the cost to the Indenture Trustee of such insurance which the Issuer shall have failed to maintain. If after the Indenture Trustee has provided such insurance, the Issuer then obtains the coverage provided for in Section 5.04(f)(i) which was replaced by the insurance provided by the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer provides the Indenture Trustee with evidence of such coverage reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall cancel the insurance it has provided pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.04(f)(ii). In such event, the Issuer shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all costs to the Indenture Trustee of cancellation, including without limitation any short rate penalty, together with interest from the date of the Indenture Trustee’s payment thereof at

82



such Stated Rate. In addition, at any time the Indenture Trustee may at its own expense carry insurance with respect to its interest in the Portfolio Railcars, provided that such insurance does not interfere with the Issuer’s ability to insure the Portfolio Railcars as required by this Section 5.04(f) or adversely affect the Issuer’s insurance or the cost thereof, it being understood that all salvage rights to each Portfolio Railcar shall remain with the Issuer’s insurers at all times. Any insurance payments received from policies maintained by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the previous sentence shall be retained by the applicable Person obtaining such insurance without reducing or otherwise affecting the Issuer’s obligations hereunder, other than with respect to Portfolio Railcars, with respect to which such payments have been made.
(g) No Accounts . Except as contemplated herein, the Issuer will not have an interest in any deposit account or securities account (other than the Indenture Accounts, any other bank account required in connection with any Liquidity Facility Documents and other than any account which may be required to be established as a necessary consequence of or in order to invest in or otherwise acquire a Permitted Investment) unless (i) any such further account and the Issuer’s interest therein shall be further charged or otherwise secured in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (ii) any such further account is held in the custody of and under the “control” (as such term is defined in the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee.
(h) Notices . If at any time any creditor of the Issuer seeks to enforce any judgment or order of any competent court or other competent tribunal against any of the Collateral, the Issuer shall (i) promptly give written notice to such creditor and to such court or tribunal of the Indenture Trustee’s interests in the Collateral, (ii) if at any time an examiner, administrator, administrative receiver, receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or other similar appointee (an “ Insolvency Appointee ”) is appointed in respect of any secured creditor or any of their assets, promptly give notice to such appointee of the Indenture Trustee’s interests in the Collateral and (iii) notify the Indenture Trustee thereof in either case of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The Issuer will not voluntarily appoint or cause to be appointed or commence any proceeding to appoint any Insolvency Appointee over all or any of its property.
(i) Compliance with Agreements . The Issuer will comply with and perform all its obligations under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement, the Issuer Documents and the other Operative Agreements to which the Issuer is a party.
(j) Information . The Issuer will at all times give to the Indenture Trustee such information as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require for the purpose of the discharge of the powers, rights, duties, authorities and discretions vested in it hereunder, under any other Issuer Document or by operation of Applicable Law.
(k) Further Assurances .
(i) The Issuer will comply with all reasonable directions given to it by the Indenture Trustee to perfect the Security Interests in the Collateral (except to the extent provided in the Granting Clauses herein). The Issuer will execute such further documents and do all acts and things as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require

83



at any time or times to give effect to this Master Indenture, the Issuer Documents and the relevant Operative Agreements.
(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, from time to time, the Issuer shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation statements, and shall make or cause to be made such filings with the STB and with the Registrar General of Canada and take or cause to be taken such similar actions as are described in the Granting Clauses under “Priority”, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law (or deemed desirable by the Indenture Trustee) to fully perfect, preserve, maintain and protect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Portfolio Railcars, related Leases and other Collateral granted hereby (including without limitation any such Portfolio Railcars acquired by the Issuer from time to time after the Initial Closing Date), including in the proceeds thereof, it being understood that the Issuer shall not be required to make (to cause to be made) any filings in Mexico or under any Provincial Personal Property Security Act or any other non-federal legislation in Canada. The Issuer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, following such filing in accordance herewith. In the event that the Issuer fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, the Indenture Trustee may perform such obligations, at the expense of the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee and grants to the Indenture Trustee an irrevocable power of attorney to take any and all steps in order to perform such obligations in the Issuer’s own name and on behalf of the Issuer, as are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Indenture Trustee, as applicable.
(l) Stamping of the Leases . Within thirty (30) days after the applicable Delivery Date with respect to a Lease (or, in the case of a Future Lease, the date of origination of such Future Lease), the Issuer will cause the Servicer to stamp on or otherwise affix to each Rider evidencing the same, the following legend:
“This Lease is subject to a security interest in favor of Wilmington Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee, pursuant to the Master Indenture dated as of June 20, 2018 between Trinity Rail Leasing 2018 LLC and Wilmington Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee.”
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, such financing or continuation statements or continuation statements in lieu, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the pledge, transfer, assignment, Security Interests granted or purported to be granted hereby, (ii) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument, deliver and pledge to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, such note or instrument, duly indorsed or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and undated, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, and (iii) deliver to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, promptly upon receipt thereof all instruments representing or evidencing any of the Collateral,

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

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

(y) Inspection .
(i) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Termination Event, the Indenture Trustee, at the Direction of the Requisite Majority,

(iii) If in connection with or as a result of the initial Railcar Inspection, the Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that an Inspection Issue (as defined below) has occurred, then the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to conduct additional Inspections from time to time consisting of additional samplings of Portfolio Railcars in numbers that the Indenture Trustee or its Inspection Representative determines to be a reasonable sampling sufficient to confirm the scope of any such Inspection Issues. “ Inspection Issue ” means the discovery that a material portion of the Portfolio Railcars inspected are not being used or maintained in a manner that complies with the requirements of this Master Indenture.
Without prejudice to the right to conduct Inspections, all parties granted inspection rights hereunder shall confer with a view toward coordinating their conduct with respect to the Inspections in order to minimize the costs thereof and business disruption attendant thereto.

88




(z) Modifications .
(i) Required Modifications . In the event a Required Modification to a Portfolio Railcar is required, the Issuer agrees to make or cause to be made such Required Modification at its own expense; provided , that the Issuer (or applicable Lessee) may, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, contest the validity or application of the law, rule, requirement or regulation requiring such Required Modification in any manner that does not (w) materially interfere with the use, possession, operation, maintenance or return of any Portfolio Railcar, (x) materially adversely affect the rights or interests of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in the Portfolio Railcars, (y) expose the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to criminal sanctions, or (z) violate any maintenance requirements contained in any insurance policy required to be maintained by the Issuer under this Master Indenture if such violation would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the coverage thereunder; provided further , that the Issuer shall notify (or cause to be notified) the Indenture Trustee thereof, which notice shall also set forth the time period for the making of such Required Modification and the Issuer’s or Servicer’s reasonable estimate of the cost thereof; and, provided further, that if a Required Modification is economically impracticable, the Issuer may sell the affected Portfolio Railcar pursuant to a Scrap Value Disposition.
(ii) Optional Modifications . The Issuer at any time may or may permit a Lessee to, in its discretion and at its own or such Lessee’s cost and expense, modify, alter or improve any Portfolio Railcar in a manner which is not a Required Modification; provided that (A) no such optional modification shall diminish the fair market value, utility or remaining economic useful life of such Portfolio Railcar below the fair market value, utility or remaining economic useful life thereof immediately prior to such optional modification, in more than a de minimis respect, assuming such Portfolio Railcar was then at least in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Master Indenture and (B) the Issuer, or the Servicer on its behalf, shall conclude in good faith that the proposed optional modification is likely to enhance the marketability of the Portfolio Railcar (or such optional modification is requested by a Lessee).
ARTICLE VI
THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
Section 6.01 Acceptance of Trusts and Duties . If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Master Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs.

The foregoing, however, shall not prevent the Issuer from amending any Lease of a Railcar, provided that such amendment is otherwise permitted by this Master Indenture and the Servicing Agreement.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders under this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, modification or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. Any such amendment, modification or waiver approved by the Direction of a Requisite Majority (and, if applicable, as to which Rating Agency Confirmation is given) will be binding on all Noteholders.
The Issuer shall give each Rating Agency prior notice of any amendment under this Section 10.01 and any amendments of its constitutive documents by the Issuer, and, after an amendment under this Section 10.01 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Noteholders and each Rating Agency a notice briefly describing such amendment. Any failure of the Issuer

101



to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment.
After an amendment, modification or waiver under this Section 10.01 becomes effective, it shall bind every Noteholder, whether or not notation thereof is made on any Equipment Note held by such Noteholder.
Section 10.2 Modification Without Consent of Noteholders . Subject to Section 9.01 hereof, the Indenture Trustee may agree, without the consent of any Noteholder, to any modification (other than those referred to in Section 10.01 ) of any provision of any Operative Agreement or of the relevant Equipment Notes to correct a manifest error or an error which is of a formal, minor or technical nature. Any such modification shall be notified to the Noteholders as soon as practicable thereafter and shall be binding on all the Noteholders.
Section 10.3 Consent of Servicer, Hedge Providers and Liquidity Facility Providers . No amendment, modification or waiver to this Master Indenture or a Series Supplement shall be permitted if such amendment, modification or waiver could reasonably be expected to violate Section 11.7(a) of the Servicing Agreement. No amendment, modification or waiver to this Master Indenture or a Series Supplement shall be permitted if such amendment, modification or waiver could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect a Hedge Provider without the prior written consent of such Hedge Provider. No amendment, modification or waiver to this Master Indenture or a Series Supplement shall be permitted if such amendment, modification or waiver could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect a Liquidity Facility Provider without the prior written consent of such Liquidity Facility Provider; provided that if a Liquidity Facility Provider is in default under one or more of its Liquidity Facility Documents, then (i) Sections 3.11 and 3.15 are the only Sections of this Master Indenture that shall be considered for purposes of this Section 10.03 with respect to such Liquidity Facility Provider’s consent rights and (ii) the only Sections of a Series Supplement, if any, that shall be considered for purposes of this Section 10.03 with respect to such Liquidity Facility Provider’s consent rights must be expressly identified as such in that Series Supplement.
Section 10.4 Subordination and Priority of Payments . The subordination provisions contained in the Flow of Funds and Article XI hereof may not be amended or modified without the consent of each Noteholder of the Outstanding Equipment Notes. In no event shall the provisions set forth in the Flow of Funds relating to the priority of the Service Provider Fees and Operating Expenses be amended or modified. The foregoing sentences in each case are subject to the provisions of Section 9.02(b) .
Section 10.5 Execution of Amendments by Indenture Trustee . In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any amendment, modification or waiver to this Master Indenture permitted by this Article X or Section 3.16(b) or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Master Indenture, the Equipment Notes or any Operative Agreement related to the Equipment Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment, modification or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Master Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such

102



amendment, modification or waiver which affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Master Indenture or otherwise.
ARTICLE XI
SUBORDINATION
Section 11.01 Subordination .
(a) Each Noteholder and Service Provider agrees that its claims against the Issuer for payment of amounts are subordinate to any claims ranking in priority thereto as set forth in the Flow of Funds hereof, including any post-petition interest (each such prior claim, a “ Senior Claim ”), which subordination shall continue until the holder of such Senior Claim (a “ Senior Claimant ”), or the Indenture Trustee on its behalf, has received the full cash amount of such Senior Claim. Each Noteholder and Service Provider is also obligated to hold for the benefit of the Senior Claimant any amounts received by such Noteholder or Servicer Provider, as the case may be, which, under the terms of this Master Indenture, should have been paid to or on behalf of the Senior Claimant and to pay over such amounts to the Indenture Trustee for application as provided in the Flow of Funds. Each Noteholder also agrees to execute and deliver such instruments and documents, and take all further action, that a Senior Claimant may reasonably request in order to effectuate the above. Each Noteholder’s right with respect to any Collateral shall be subordinated to the rights of Senior Claimants. Amounts deposited in any Indenture Account for a defeasance of the Equipment Notes or for an Optional Redemption of the Equipment Notes will not be subject to the foregoing subordination provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph is not intended to limit the rights of Hedge Providers to receive payments other than in accordance with the Flow of Funds pursuant to Sections 3.08(c), 3.11(c), 3.14 and 3.16 of this Master Indenture.
(b) If any Senior Claimant receives any payment in respect of any Senior Claim which is subsequently invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or other party, then, to the extent such payment is so invalidated, declared preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid, such Senior Claim shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article XI, all as if such payment had not been received.
(c) Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of an Equipment Note, and each other payee pursuant to the Flow of Funds, by entering into the Operative Agreement to which it is a party, authorizes and expressly directs the Indenture Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XI, and appoints the Indenture Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise) any actions tending towards liquidation of the property and assets of the Issuer or the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its Equipment Notes in the form required in those proceedings.

103




(d) No right of any holder of any Senior Claim to enforce the subordination of any subordinated claim shall be impaired by an act or failure to act by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or by any failure by either the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to comply with this Master Indenture, unless such failure shall materially prejudice the rights of the subordinated claimant.
(e) Each Noteholder, by accepting an Equipment Note, and each other payee pursuant to the Flow of Funds, by entering into the Operative Agreement to which it is a party, acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Claim, whether such Senior Claim was created or acquired before or after the issuance of such holder’s claim, to acquire and continue to hold such Senior Claim and such holder of any Senior Claim shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold such Senior Claim.
(f) The Noteholders of each Series and each Class thereof shall have the right to receive, to the extent necessary to make the required payments with respect to the Equipment Notes of such Series and each Class thereof at the times and in the amounts specified herein and in the related Series Supplement, (i) the portion of Collections allocable to Noteholders of such Series and each Class thereof pursuant to this Master Indenture and the related Series Supplement, (ii) funds on deposit in the Liquidity Reserve Account allocated in accordance with the terms of this Master Indenture and the related Series Supplement and (iii) funds on deposit in any Series Account for such Series and each Class thereof. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of its Equipment Notes, (x) acknowledges and agrees that except as expressly provided herein and in a Series Supplement, the Noteholders of a Series shall not have any interest in any Series Account for the benefit of any other Series (to the extent amounts were deposited therein in accordance with the Operative Agreements), and (y) ratifies and confirms the terms of this Master Indenture and the Operative Agreements executed in connection with such Noteholder’s Series. With respect to each Collection Period, Collections on deposit in the Collections Account will be allocated to each Series and each Class thereof then Outstanding in accordance with the Flow of Funds and the related Series Supplements.
ARTICLE XII
DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE
Section 12.01 Discharge of Liability on the Equipment Notes; Defeasance .
(a) When (i) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee all Outstanding Equipment Notes (other than Equipment Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof) for cancellation or (ii) all Outstanding Equipment Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 3.16(a) hereof and the Issuer irrevocably deposits in the Redemption/Defeasance Account funds sufficient to pay at maturity, or upon Optional Redemption of, all Outstanding Equipment Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or the Redemption Date (other than Equipment Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.08), and if in either case the Issuer pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer including any premium, then this Master Indenture shall, subject to Section 12.01(c), cease to be of further effect. The Indenture Trustee shall acknowledge

104



satisfaction and discharge of this Master Indenture on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, at the cost and expense of the Issuer, to the effect that any conditions precedent to a discharge of this Master Indenture have been met.
(b) Subject to Sections 12.01(c) and 12.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all its obligations under the Equipment Notes or any Class or Series of Equipment Notes and this Master Indenture (the “legal defeasance” option) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 5.02, 5.03, 5.04 and 4.01 (other than with respect to a failure to comply with Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(e) (only with respect to the Issuer) and 4.01(f) (only with respect to the Issuer)) (the “covenant defeasance” option). The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Equipment Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default (other than with respect to a failure to comply with Section 5.02(j), 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(e) and 4.01(f)).
Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates.

Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 8.01, 12.04, 12.05 and 13.07 shall survive.
Section 12.02 Conditions to Defeasance . The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:
(a) The Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust in the Redemption/Defeasance Account any one or any combination of (A) money, (B) obligations of, and supported by the full faith and credit of, the U.S. Government (“ U.S. Government Obligations ”) or (C) obligations of corporate issuers (“ Corporate Obligations ”) (provided that any such Corporate Obligations are rated AA+, or the equivalent, or higher, by each Rating Agency at such time and shall not have a maturity of longer than three (3) years from the date of defeasance) for the payment of all principal, premium, if any, and interest to maturity or redemption on the Class (or Series) of Equipment Notes being defeased;
(b) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the Corporate Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due and interest to maturity or redemption on the Class (or Series) of the Equipment Notes being defeased;

105




(c) 91 days pass after the deposit described in clause (a) above is made and during the 91-day period no Event of Default specified in Section 4.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuer occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;
(d) the deposit described in clause (a) above does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Issuer;

(f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Noteholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;
(g) if the related Equipment Notes are then listed on any securities exchange, the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit, defeasance and discharge will not cause such Equipment Notes to be delisted;
(h) the Issuer has obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 12.02;
(i) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Equipment Notes as contemplated by this Article XII have been complied with; and
(j) the Issuer shall only defease the Equipment Notes of a Class in their entirety, not partially.
Section 12.03 Application of Trust Money . The Indenture Trustee shall hold in trust in the Redemption/Defeasance Account money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article XII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Master Indenture and the applicable Series Supplements to the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the applicable Equipment Notes. Money and securities so held in trust are not subject to Article X hereof.
Section 12.04 Repayment to the Issuer . The Indenture Trustee shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon request any excess money or securities held by it at any time. Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Indenture Trustee shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by it for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two (2) years and, thereafter, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors. Such unclaimed funds shall remain uninvested and in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for interest on such unclaimed funds.

106




Section 12.05 Indemnity for Government Obligations and Corporate Obligations . The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations, or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations.
Section 12.06 Reinstatement . If the Indenture Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Article XII (and the applicable Series Supplements) by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Master Indenture and the applicable Series Supplements and the Equipment Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XII until such time as the Indenture Trustee is permitted to apply all such money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations in accordance with this Article XII, the applicable Series Supplements and the applicable Equipment Notes; provided, however , that, if the Issuer has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Equipment Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Noteholders of such Equipment Notes to receive such payment from the money, U.S. Government Obligations or Corporate Obligations held by the Indenture Trustee.
ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 13.01 Right of Indenture Trustee to Perform . If the Issuer for any reason fails to observe or punctually to perform any of its obligations to the Indenture Trustee, whether under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement or any of the other Operative Agreements or otherwise, the Indenture Trustee shall have power (but shall have no obligation), on behalf of or in the name of the Issuer or otherwise, to perform such obligations and to take any steps which the Indenture Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate with a view to remedying, or mitigating the consequences of, such failure by the Issuer; provided that no exercise or failure to exercise this power by the Indenture Trustee shall in any way prejudice the Indenture Trustee’s other rights under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement or any of the other Operative Agreements.
Section 13.02 Waiver . Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Master Indenture or any right, remedy or option hereunder shall only prevent and estop such party from thereafter enforcing such provision, right, remedy or option if such waiver is given in writing and only as to the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given. The failure or refusal of any party hereto to insist in any one or more instances, or in a course of dealing, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Master Indenture by any party hereto or the partial exercise of any right, remedy or option hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and effect. No failure on the part of the Indenture Trustee to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or

107



remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Master Indenture are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
Section 13.03 Severability . In the event that any provision of this Master Indenture or the application thereof to any party hereto or to any circumstance or in any jurisdiction governing this Master Indenture shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable and the remainder of this Master Indenture, and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to the parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of this Master Indenture. The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Indenture Trustee hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the Indenture Trustee to pursue any other remedy available to it.
Section 13.04 Notices . All notices, demands, certificates, requests, directions, instructions and communications hereunder (“ Notices ”) shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon receipt when sent through the mails, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, with such receipt to be effective the date of delivery indicated on the return receipt, or (b) one Business Day after delivery to an overnight courier, or (c) on the date personally delivered to an authorized officer of the party to which sent, or (d) on the date transmitted by legible telecopier transmission with a confirmation of receipt, in all cases addressed to the recipient as follows:

Section 13.05 Assignments . This Master Indenture shall be a continuing obligation of the Issuer and shall (i) be binding upon the Issuer and its successors and assigns and (ii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Indenture Trustee, and by its successors, transferees and assigns.

Section 13.06 Currency Conversion .

(b) For the purpose of or pending the discharge of any of the moneys and liabilities hereby secured the Administrator and the Servicer may convert any moneys received, recovered or realized by the Administrator or the Servicer, as the case may be, under this Master Indenture and any Series Supplement (including the proceeds of any previous conversion under this Section 13.06) from their existing currency of denomination into the currency of denomination (if different) of such moneys and liabilities and any conversion from one currency

110



to another for the purposes of any of the foregoing shall be made at the Indenture Trustee’s then prevailing spot selling rate at its office by which such conversion is made. If not otherwise required to be applied in the Received Currency, the Administrator or the Servicer, as the case may be, acting on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall promptly convert any moneys in such Received Currency other than Dollars into Dollars. Each previous reference in this Section to a currency extends to funds of that currency and funds of one currency may be converted into different funds of the same currency.
Section 13.07 Application to Court . The Indenture Trustee may at any time after the service of a Default Notice apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order that the terms of this Master Indenture be carried into execution under the direction of such court and for the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof and for any other order in relation to the administration of this Master Indenture as the Requisite Majority shall deem fit and it may assent to or approve any application to any court of competent jurisdiction made at the instigation of any of the Noteholders and shall be indemnified by the Issuer against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in relation to any such application or proceedings.

Section 13.09 Jurisdiction .
(a) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the United States federal and New York State courts located in The City of New York shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Master Indenture and, for such purposes, submits to the jurisdiction of such courts. Each of the parties hereto waives any objection which it might now or hereafter have to the United States federal or New York State courts located in The City of New York being nominated as the forum to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this Master Indenture and agrees not to claim that any such court is not a convenient or appropriate forum.
(b) The submission to the jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 13.09(a) shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Indenture Trustee to take proceedings against the Issuer in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not.
(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents generally in respect of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Master Indenture to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such action or proceeding, including the making, enforcement or execution against any property whatsoever (irrespective of its use or intended use) of any order or judgment which may be made or given in such action or proceeding.

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

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

In the event of any breach of a representation and warranty made by the Purchaser hereunder, the Seller covenants and agrees that the Seller will not take any action to pursue any remedy that it may have hereunder, in law, in equity or otherwise, until a year and a day have passed since all Outstanding Obligations under all other Operative Agreements have been paid in full. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that damages will not be an adequate remedy for a breach of this covenant and that this covenant may be specifically enforced by the Purchaser or any third party beneficiary described in Section 6.8.
Section 4.4 Indemnification .

(a) The Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder, each of their respective Affiliates and each of the respective directors, officers, employees, successors and permitted assigns, agents and servants of the foregoing (each an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort), that may be imposed upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against any Indemnified Person arising out of or resulting from any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties and covenants contained herein, except (A) those resulting solely from any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the particular Indemnified Person claiming indemnification hereunder, (B) those in respect of taxes that are otherwise addressed by the provisions of (and subject to the limitations of) subsection (c) of this Section 4.4 below, or (C) to

12



the extent that providing such indemnity would constitute recourse for losses due to the uncollectibility of sale proceeds (or any particular amount of sale proceeds) in respect of a Railcar due to a diminution in market value of such Railcar, or of Lease or other third party payments due to the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to pay of the related Lessee or other third party (the matters contemplated by clauses (A), (B) and (C) may be referred to collectively as the “ Excluded Amounts ”).

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

(c) The Seller agrees to pay, and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against, any taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of an Indemnified Person and taxes that would constitute Excluded Amounts) that may at any time be asserted against any Indemnified Person with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible or intangible personal property, privilege, or license taxes and costs and expenses in defending against the same, arising by reason of the acts to be performed by the Seller under this Agreement and imposed against such Person. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Purchaser, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee receives actual notice of any transfer taxes arising out of the Conveyance of any Railcar or Lease from the Seller to the Purchaser under this Agreement, on written demand by such party, or upon the Seller otherwise being given notice thereof, the Seller shall pay, and otherwise indemnify and hold harmless the applicable Indemnified Person, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, on an After-Tax Basis, from and against any and all such transfer taxes (it being understood that none of the Purchaser, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or any other Indemnified Person shall have any contractual obligation to pay such transfer taxes).

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

(e) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, expenses, losses, obligations, penalties, liabilities, damages, actions, or suits or claims of whatsoever kind or nature (whether or not on the basis of negligence, strict or absolute liability or liability in tort), that may be imposed upon, incurred by, suffered by or asserted against such Indemnified Person, other than Excluded Amounts, as a

13



result of the failure of any Railcar or Lease Conveyed hereunder to comply with all requirements of applicable law as of the applicable Delivery Date.

Indemnification under this Section 4.4 shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. The indemnity obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any obligation that the Seller may otherwise have under applicable law or any other Operative Agreement.
Section 4.5 Special Indemnification by TILC Regarding Exercise of Setoff by Customers . TILC (in its capacity as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement) hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and each other Secured Party, that it will, within forty-five (45) days after the date on which it has knowledge that any Lessee shall have reduced any payments made by such Lessee under any Lease in the Portfolio as a result of or in connection with any setoff exercised by such Lessee (regardless of whether such Lessee actually has any contractual, statutory or other right to exercise such setoff) with respect to amounts owed or presumed owed to such Lessee pursuant to railcar leases managed by TILC that are not in the Portfolio, and provided that the applicable Lessee shall not have made payments aggregating the full amount payable by such Lessee under the applicable Lease prior to the end of such 45-day period, deposit into the Collections Account an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of such reduction.

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

(a) On or prior to the date hereof, the Seller shall have filed or caused to be filed UCC-1 financing statements, STB or Registrar General of Canada filings (each in form proper for filing in the applicable jurisdiction) naming the Purchaser as purchaser or secured party, naming the Indenture Trustee as assignee and describing the Railcars, related Leases and Related Assets Conveyed by it to the Purchaser as collateral, with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and in such other locations as the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee shall have required. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser and/or any assignee thereof to prepare and file any such UCC-1 financing statements. From time to time thereafter, the Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements or cause to be authorized and filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law (or deemed desirable by the Purchaser or any assignee thereof) to fully perfect, preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser under this Agreement, and the security interest of the Indenture

14



Trustee under the Master Indenture, in the Railcars, related Leases and Related Assets that are Conveyed hereunder and in the proceeds thereof. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, following such filing in accordance herewith. In the event that the Seller fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee may perform such obligations, at the expense of the Seller and the Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee and grants to the Purchaser and the Indenture Trustee an irrevocable power of attorney to take any and all steps in order to perform such obligations in the Seller’s or in its own name, as applicable, and on behalf of the Seller as are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Purchaser or Indenture Trustee or any assignee thereof, with respect to performing such obligations.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date and any other applicable Delivery Date hereunder, the Seller shall take all steps necessary under all applicable law in order to transfer and assign to the Purchaser the Railcars and Leases being Conveyed on such date to the Purchaser so that, upon the Conveyance of such Railcar or Lease from the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof on the applicable Delivery Date, the Purchaser will have acquired good and marketable title to and a valid and perfected ownership interest in such Railcars and Leases, free and clear of any Encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances). On or prior to the applicable Delivery Date hereunder, the Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser in order to take all steps required under applicable law in order for the Purchaser to grant to the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the Railcars and Leases being Conveyed to the Purchaser on such Delivery Date and, from time to time thereafter, the Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser in order to take all such actions as may be required by applicable law (or deemed desirable by the Purchaser) to fully preserve, maintain and protect the Purchaser’s ownership interest in, and the Indenture Trustee’s first priority perfected security interest in the Railcars and Leases which have been Conveyed to the Purchaser hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller shall not be required pursuant to this Agreement to make any filings, registrations or recordations in Mexico or under any Provincial Personal Property Security Act or other non-federal legislation in Canada.

(c) The Seller shall not change its name, identity, jurisdiction of organization or corporate structure in any manner that would or could make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement seriously misleading within the meaning of § 9-506 of the UCC (or any similar provision of the UCC), unless the Seller shall have given the Purchaser, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file and hereby authorizes the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee to file appropriate new financing statements or amendments to all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements.

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

15





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