Note 1 – Description of the Business

FreightCar America, Inc. (“FreightCar”) operates primarily in North America through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, JAC Operations, Inc., Johnstown America, LLC, Freight Car Services, Inc., JAIX Leasing Company (“JAIX”), FreightCar America Leasing, LLC, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, FreightCar Roanoke, LLC, FreightCar Mauritius Ltd. (“Mauritius”), FreightCar Rail Services, LLC (“FCRS”), FreightCar Short Line, Inc. (“FCSL”), FreightCar Alabama, LLC and FreightCar (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd (herein collectively referred to as the “Company”), and manufactures a wide range of railroad freight cars, supplies railcar parts and leases freight cars. The Company designs and builds high-quality railcars, including coal cars, bulk commodity cars, covered hopper cars, intermodal and non-intermodal flat cars, mill gondola cars, coil steel cars and boxcars. The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and has facilities in the following locations: Cherokee, Alabama; Grand Island, Nebraska; Johnstown, Pennsylvania; Roanoke, Virginia; and Shanghai, People’s Republic of China.

The Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are all Delaware corporations or Delaware limited liability companies except Mauritius, which is incorporated in Mauritius, and FreightCar (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd., which is organized in the People’s Republic of China. The Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries are all wholly owned.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar America, Inc. and subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The foregoing financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited; however, the Company believes the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. The 2018 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2018. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software , which requires capitalization of certain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General , which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit and other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 eliminates certain disclosures related to accumulated other comprehensive income, plan assets, related parties and the effects of interest rate basis point changes on assumed health care costs, and adds disclosures to address significant gains and losses related to changes in benefit obligations. ASU 2018-14 also clarifies disclosure requirements for projected benefit and accumulated benefit obligations. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption on a retrospective basis for all periods presented is required. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits entities to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the recent U.S. tax reform to retained earnings. Companies that elect to reclassify these amounts must reclassify stranded tax effects for all items accounted for in accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company did not elect to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the recent U.S. tax reform to retained earnings.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Topic 350 currently requires an entity to perform a two-step test to determine the amount, if any, of goodwill impairment. The amendment in ASU 2017-04 removes the second step of the test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This standard is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, as amended, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than twelve months regardless of whether the lease is classified as an operating lease or a financing lease. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. See Note 4 – Leases for the impact on the financial statements and related disclosures from the adoption of this standard.

Note 4 – Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, as amended, Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective method of applying the new standard at the adoption date. In addition, the Company has elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which, among other things, does not require reassessment of prior conclusions related to contracts containing a lease, lease classification, and initial direct lease costs. Adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of net operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets of $45,727 and corresponding operating lease liabilities of $67,508 as of January 1, 2019. The condensed consolidated balance sheets for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract. Substantially all of the Company’s leases are operating leases. A significant portion of the Company’s operating lease portfolio includes manufacturing sites, component warehouses and corporate offices. The remaining lease terms on the majority of the Company’s leases is between 2.5 to 8 years, some of which include options to extend the lease terms. Leases with initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease ROU assets are presented within long term assets, the current portion of operating lease liabilities is presented within current liabilities and the non-current portion of operating lease liabilities are presented within long term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make the lease payments arising during the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s ROU assets have been reduced by the remaining unamortized lease incentive that the Company received on February 28, 2018 from Navistar, Inc. in exchange for the Company assuming all of the remaining contractual lease obligations for the Shoals facility. The Company’s lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. As most of the Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The components of the lease costs were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30, 2019		Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Operating lease costs:
Fixed	$	3,503	$	7,037

On February 26, 2019, the Company entered into an Amendment to its lease of the Shoals, Alabama manufacturing facility to extend the initial term thereof from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2026, with two five-year extension terms thereafter through December 31, 2031 and December 31, 2036, at the Company’s option. In addition, the Company will vacate up to 40% of the manufacturing facility on or before December 31, 2021 with the base rent payable to the Landlord reduced on proportional basis.

The Company has accounted for the amendment as a modification of the lease, resulting in a non-cash increase to lease liability and right of use asset of $32,079. The company concluded that the initial term through December 31, 2026 would be included in the measurement of lease liabilities as of the modification date. The Company has concluded that the options for extensions beyond that date are not reasonably certain of exercise, and have been excluded from the measurement of lease liabilities.

Contract Balances and Accounts Receivable

Contract assets represent the Company’s rights to consideration for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which the terms of the contract do not permit billing at the reporting date. The Company has no contract assets as of June 30, 2019. The Company may receive cash payments from customers in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under its sales contracts resulting in deferred revenue or customer deposits, which are considered contract

liabilities. Deferred revenue and customer deposits are classified as either current or long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. Deferred revenue and customer deposits included in customer deposits, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2019 were not material.

Performance Obligations

The Company is electing not to disclose the value of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligation with a duration of one year or less as permitted by the practical expedient in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company had no material remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2019 with expected duration of greater than one year.

Note 6 – Segment Information

The Company’s operations comprise two operating segments, Manufacturing and Parts, and one reportable segment, Manufacturing. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, used railcar sales, railcar leasing and major railcar rebuilds. The Company’s Parts operating segment is not significant for reporting purposes and has been combined with corporate and other non-operating activities as Corporate and Other.

Segment operating income is an internal performance measure used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess the performance of each segment in a given period. Segment operating income includes all external revenues attributable to the segments as well as operating costs and income that management believes are directly attributable to the current production of goods and services. The Company’s management reporting package does not include interest revenue, interest expense or income taxes allocated to individual segments and these items are not considered as a component of segment operating income. Segment assets represent operating assets and exclude intersegment accounts, deferred tax assets and income tax receivables. The Company does not allocate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to its operating segments as the Company’s treasury function is managed at the corporate level. Intersegment revenues were not material in any period presented.

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets that were recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company’s non-financial assets that were recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.


Recurring Fair Value Measurements	As of June 30, 2019
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
ASSETS:
Cash equivalents	$	4,125	$	—	$	—	$	4,125
Restricted certificates of deposit	$	5,028	$	—	$	—	$	5,028
Escrow receivable	$	—	$	—	$	930	$	930

The sale of the Company’s railcar repair and maintenance services business on September 30, 2015 resulted in $1,960 of the aggregate purchase price being placed into escrow in order to secure the indemnification obligations of FCRS and FCSL. The fair market value of the remaining escrow receivable above represents the escrow balance of $980 as of each of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, net of the fair value of the indemnification obligations, which was estimated using the discounted probability-weighted cash flow method.

Note 8 – Marketable Securities

The Company’s current investment policy is to invest in cash, certificates of deposit, U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency obligations and money market funds invested in U.S. government securities. Marketable securities of $18,019 as of December 31, 2018 consisted of U.S. Treasury securities held to maturity and certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than 90 days and up to one year. The Company had no marketable securities as of June 30, 2019. Due to the short-term nature of these securities and their low interest rates, there is no material difference between their fair market values and amortized costs.

Note 9 – Inventories

Inventories, net of reserve for excess and obsolete items, consist of the following:


	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Work in process	$	56,687	$	60,112

The BMO Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with maximum availability of $42,500, subject to borrowing base requirements set forth in the BMO Credit Agreement, which generally limit availability under the revolving credit facility to (a) 85% of the value of eligible assets, (b) 90% of the value of eligible accounts supported by credit insurance or letters of credit acceptable to BMO, and (c) up to the lesser of (i) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, (ii) 75% of the cost of eligible inventory and (iii) $30,000 and as reduced by the greater of $7,500 and 15% of the revolving credit facility and other reserves established by BMO from time to time.

The BMO Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments.

The loans under the M&T Credit Agreement are non-recourse to the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries other than the assets of Freightcar Leasing Borrower and Freightcar Leasing Guarantor.

The M&T Credit Agreement has a term ending on April 16, 2021. Loans outstanding thereunder will bear interest, accrued daily, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) or the Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement).

The M&T Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, maintaining an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.25:1.00, measured quarterly, and limitations on indebtedness, loans, liens and investments.

Note 13 – Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a qualified, defined benefit pension plan that was established to provide benefits to certain employees. The plan is frozen and participants are no longer accruing benefits. Generally, contributions to the plan are not less than the minimum amounts required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and not more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. The plan assets are held by an independent trustee and consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities.

The Company also provides certain postretirement health care benefits for certain of its salaried retired employees. Generally, employees may become eligible for health care benefits if they retire after attaining specified age and service requirements. These benefits are subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions and other limitations.

The components of net periodic benefit cost (benefit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, are as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
Pension Benefits	2019			2018			2019			2018
Interest cost	$	466		$	428		$	932		$	855

The Company made no contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plan for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company expects to make no contributions to its pension plan in 2019.

The Company made contributions to the Company’s postretirement benefit plan for salaried retirees of $158 and $126 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $276 and $351 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company expects to make $552 in contributions (including contributions already made) to its postretirement benefit plan in 2019 for salaried retirees.

The Company also maintains qualified defined contribution plans, which provide benefits to employees based on employee contributions, employee earnings or certain subsidiary earnings, with discretionary contributions allowed. Expenses related to these plans were $372 and $457 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $743 and $887 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 14 – Contingencies

The Company is involved in various warranty and repair claims and, in certain cases, related pending and threatened legal proceedings with its customers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company’s potential losses in excess of the accrued warranty and legal provisions, if any, are not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company received cash payments of $15,733 and $1,410 during 2015 and 2017, respectively, for Alabama state and local incentives related to its capital investment and employment levels at its Cherokee, Alabama (“Shoals”) facility. Under the incentive agreements a certain portion of the incentives may be repayable by the Company if targeted levels of employment are not maintained for a period of up to six years from the date of the incentive. In the event that employment levels drop below the minimum targeted levels of employment and any portion of the incentives is required to be paid back, the amount is unlikely to exceed the deferred liability balance of $8,051 as of June 30, 2019.

As part of a settlement agreement reached with one of its customers, the Company agreed to pay $7,500 to settle all claims related to a prior year’s commercial dispute. Payment will be made over a period of three years.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company is involved in certain other pending and threatened legal proceedings, including commercial disputes and workers’ compensation and employee matters arising out of the conduct of its business. While the ultimate outcome of these other legal proceedings cannot be determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these other actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 15 – Earnings Per Share

Shares used in the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per common share are reconciled as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Weighted average common shares outstanding		12,352,271		12,317,546		12,344,684		12,311,810

Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding		12,352,271		12,317,546		12,344,684		12,311,810

Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and the assumed vesting of nonvested share awards. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 707,395 and 350,644 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 668,370 and 353,124 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding as they were anti-dilutive.

Note 16 – Subsequent Event

On July 22, 2019, the Company announced its intention to close its Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility as part of its “Back to Basics” strategy. The Company will retain the necessary workforce to complete the remaining contracted work at the facility through the end of November 2019. The cost of the restructuring plan is expected to range between $3,500 and $4,500 and will be incurred in 2019 and during the first half of 2020. Restructuring and impairment charges of $1,319 are reported as a separate line item on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and represent non-cash impairment charges for property, plant and equipment at the Roanoke facility.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

We are a diversified manufacturer of railcars and railcar components. We design and manufacture a broad variety of railcar types for transportation of bulk commodities and containerized freight products primarily in North America.

We rebuild and convert railcars and sell forged, cast and fabricated parts for all of the railcars we produce, as well as those manufactured by others. We also lease freight cars. Our primary customers are railroads, shippers and financial institutions.

Our railcar manufacturing facilities are located in Cherokee, Alabama (“Shoals”) and Roanoke, Virginia. Our Shoals facility is an important part of our long-term growth strategy as we continue to expand our railcar product and service offerings. On February 28, 2018, we acquired substantially all of the operating assets at the Shoals facility of Navistar, Inc. (“Navistar”) and its subsidiary, International Truck and Engine Investments Corporation, including their railcar business, and assumed the lease for the facility (the “Acquisition”).

On July 22, 2019, the Company announced its intention to close its Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility as part of its “Back to Basics” strategy. The Company will retain the necessary workforce to complete the remaining contracted work at the facility through the end of November 2019. The cost of the restructuring plan is expected to range between $3.5 million and $4.5 million and will be incurred in 2019 and during the first half of 2020. Annual cost savings of approximately $5.0 million are expected upon completion of the restructuring plan.

Total orders for railcars in the first half of 2019 were 792 units, consisting of 292 new railcars and 500 rebuilt railcars, compared to orders for 2,206 units, consisting of 1,606 new railcars and 600 rebuilt railcars, in the first half of 2018. Total backlog of unfilled orders was 1,121 units at June 30, 2019, compared to 1,699 units at December 31, 2018. The estimated sales value of the backlog was $96 million and $160 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

Revenues

Our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $73.7 million compared to $66.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Manufacturing segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $70.8 million compared to $63.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Railcar deliveries totaled 729 units, consisting of 478 new railcars and 251 rebuilt railcars, in the second quarter of 2019, compared to 1,185 units, consisting of 368 new railcars, 303 leased railcars and 514 rebuilt railcars, in the second quarter of 2018. The increase in Manufacturing segment revenues for the 2019 period compared to the 2018 period reflects a higher average selling price for new railcars and a higher number of new versus rebuilt railcars which were partially offset by a decrease in the number of railcars delivered. Corporate and Other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $2.8 million compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, reflecting lower parts sales.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Our consolidated gross margin was 8.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 7.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our consolidated gross profit was $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Manufacturing segment gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $5.3 million compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in gross profit for our Manufacturing segment for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily the result of better mix of newer railcars and a $3.5 million positive impact from the resolution of a previous year’s product claim that was settled after the quarter-end. Improved margin was partially offset by the decline in railcar deliveries, a $1.7 million decrease, and product mix and pricing, which resulted in an additional $1.6 million decrease, for the 2019 period compared to 2018.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $15.4 million compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $1.8 million compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 reflecting lower salaries and wages, employee severance and allocated costs. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to $7.5 million recorded as part of a settlement agreement reached with one of our customers to settle all claims related to a prior year’s commercial dispute. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 also reflected decreases in stock-based compensation of $1.3 million which primarily included the impact of forfeitures of unvested stock awards by executives, increases in employee procurement costs of $0.2 million, increases in employee severance of $0.4 million and increases in research and development costs of $0.2 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Loss on Sale of Railcars Available for Lease

Loss on sale of railcars available for lease for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $5.2 million and represented the loss on sale of leased railcars with a net book value of $16.6 million. We did not sell any railcars available for lease during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

On July 22, 2019, we announced our intention to close our Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility as part of our “Back to Basics” strategy. Restructuring and impairment charges of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 represented non-cash impairment charges for property, plant and equipment at our Roanoke facility. There were no restructuring and impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Operating Loss

Our consolidated operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $15.8 million compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Operating loss for the Manufacturing segment was $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to operating income of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 reflecting the loss on sale of railcars available for lease and restructuring and impairment charges described above which were partially offset by improvements in Manufacturing segment gross profit and reductions in Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. Corporate and Other operating loss was $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the previously described $7.5 million settlement of a prior year’s commercial dispute.

Income Taxes

Our income tax provision was close to zero for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. As a result of additional valuation allowance recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2019, our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was close to zero. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 21.7%.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss was $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, our diluted net loss per share was $1.26 compared to $0.19 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Revenues

Our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $144.4 million compared to $149.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Manufacturing segment revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $138.4 million compared to $142.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Railcar deliveries totaled 1,370 units, consisting of 1,119 new railcars and 251 rebuilt railcars, in the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 2,279 units, consisting of 1,259 new railcars, 425 leased railcars and 595 rebuilt railcars, in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in Manufacturing segment revenues for the 2019 period compared to the 2018 period reflects a decrease in the number of railcars delivered which was partially offset by a higher average selling price for new railcars and a higher number of new versus rebuilt railcars. Corporate and Other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $6.0 million compared to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 reflecting lower parts sales.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Our consolidated gross margin was (0.6)% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 2.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our consolidated gross loss was $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to gross profit of $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Manufacturing segment gross loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.2 million compared to gross profit of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decline in railcar deliveries contributed a $3.7 million decrease in gross profit in our Manufacturing segment and product mix, pricing and production costs contributed a $0.6 million decrease in our Manufacturing segment gross profit for the 2019 period compared to the 2018 period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $ 23.0 million compared to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $3.9 million compared to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and included lower sales commissions of $0.2 million and lower salaries and wages of $0.2 million, which were offset by higher allocated costs of $0.2 million. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to $7.5 million recorded as part of a settlement agreement reached with one of our customers to settle all claims related to a prior year’s commercial dispute. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 also reflected decreases in stock-based compensation of $1.5 million, increases in employee procurement costs of $0.4 million, increases in employee severance of $0.4 million and increases in research and development costs of $0.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

On July 22, 2019, we announced our intention to close our Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility as part of our “Back to Basics” strategy. Restructuring and impairment charges of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represent non-cash impairment charges for property, plant and equipment at our Roanoke facility. There were no restructuring and impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Operating Loss

Our consolidated operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $30.4 million compared to $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Operating loss for the Manufacturing segment was $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 reflecting the decrease in Manufacturing segment gross profit described above, the loss on sale of railcars available for lease and restructuring and impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Corporate and Other operating loss was $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 reflecting lower parts sales and the increases in Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses described above.

Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 0.6% compared to 22.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As a result of additional valuation allowance recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019, our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily included the impact of a change in uncertain tax positions recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss was $29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our diluted net loss per share was $2.37 compared to $0.70 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, were our cash and cash equivalent balances on hand, our securities held to maturity and our revolving credit facilities.

On April 12, 2019, our credit agreement with Bank of America N.A. was terminated and replaced by a new Credit and Security Agreement (“the “BMO Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO”). As of December 31, 2018, we had no borrowings under our prior revolving credit facility and $4.8 million in outstanding letters of credit under such facility. As of June 30, 2019 we had no borrowings under the BMO credit facility.

On April 16, 2019, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into the credit agreement (the “M&T Credit Agreement”), with M&T Bank N.A. As of June 30, 2019 FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC had $10.2 million in outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement, which was collateralized by leased railcars with a carrying value of $16.6 million. See Note 10 – Revolving Credit Facilities.

Our restricted certificates of deposit and restricted cash equivalents balance was $5.0 million as of each of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and consisted of certificates of deposit used to collateralize standby letters of credit with respect to performance guarantees and to support our workers’ compensation insurance claims. The standby letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2019 are scheduled to expire at various dates through February 1, 2020. We expect to establish restricted cash balances and restricted certificates of deposit in future periods to minimize bank fees related to standby letters of credit.

We adopted ASU 2016-02, the new lease accounting standard, effective January 1, 2019 and also entered into an amendment of the lease of our Shoals, Alabama facility to extend the term. See Note 4 – Leases for additional information and discussion.

Based on our current level of operations and known changes in planned volume based on our backlog, we believe that our operating cash flows, our marketable securities and our cash balances, together with amounts available under our revolving credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet our expected liquidity needs. Our long-term liquidity is contingent upon future

operating performance and our ability to continue to meet financial covenants under our revolving credit facilities and any other indebtedness. We may also require additional capital in the future to fund working capital as demand for railcars increases, payments for contractual obligations, organic growth opportunities, including new plant and equipment and development of railcars, joint ventures, international expansion and acquisitions, and these capital requirements could be substantial.

Based upon our operating performance and capital requirements, we may, from time to time, be required to raise additional funds through additional offerings of our common stock and through long-term borrowings. There can be no assurance that long-term debt, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Our failure to raise capital if and when needed could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(15,153	)	$	(48,402	)
Investing activities		30,730			(14,124	)
Financing activities		9,212			(118	)

Total	$	24,789		$	(62,644	)

Operating Activities. Our net cash provided by or used in operating activities reflects net income or loss adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash flows from operating activities are affected by several factors, including fluctuations in business volume, contract terms for billings and collections, the timing of collections on our contract receivables, processing of bi-weekly payroll and associated taxes, and payments to our suppliers. As some of our customers accept delivery of new railcars in train-set quantities, variations in our sales lead to significant fluctuations in our operating profits and cash from operating activities. We do not usually experience business credit issues, although a payment may be delayed pending completion of closing documentation.

Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $15.2 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $48.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 reflects changes in working capital, including decreases in inventory and accounts receivable due to the timing of deliveries of railcars and the related cash receipts. Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 reflects changes in working capital, including a $32.2 million increase in inventory on lease, a $18.1 million increase in accounts receivable and a $11.6 million increase in inventory.

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $30.7 million and represented the $18.0 million maturity of U.S. Treasury securities and certificates of deposit (net of purchases), $11.4 million proceeds from sale of railcars available for lease and the $3.3 million maturity of restricted certificates of deposit (net of purchases) which was partially offset by the $2.0 million cost of property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $14.1 million and primarily represented the $12.8 million purchase of U.S. Treasury securities and certificates of deposit (net of maturities) and the $1.4 million cost of railcars on operating leases.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily represented $10.2 million of proceeds from our line of credit borrowings (collateralized by leased railcars) which were partially offset by $0.9 million of deferred financing costs related to our new credit facilities.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. Excluding unforeseen expenditures, management anticipates that total capital expenditures for 2019 will be between $4.0 million and $5.0 million, including amounts already paid.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects. We have used the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend” and similar expressions in this report to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. However, forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties relate to, among other things, the cyclical nature of our business, the competitive nature of our industry, our reliance upon a small number of customers that represent a large percentage of our sales, the variable purchase patterns of our customers and the timing of completion, delivery and customer acceptance of orders, fluctuating costs of raw materials, including steel and aluminum, and delays in the delivery of raw materials, the risk of lack of acceptance of our new railcar offerings by our customers, risks relating to our relationship with our unionized employees and their unions and other competitive factors. The factors listed above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include additional factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict the impact of all of these factors on our business, financial condition or results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We expressly disclaim any duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, in order to reflect changes in circumstances or expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ARTICLE II

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01. Loan Commitments .

(a) Revolving Credit Commitment . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “ Revolving Loan ”) to the Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period; provided however , that after giving effect to any Borrowing, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Line Cap.

Within the limits of the Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(a) , prepay under the terms of this Agreement, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a) . The Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date in its discretion exercised in its good faith Credit Judgment to establish, modify or eliminate Reserves.

(b) Overadvances . If the aggregate Revolving Loans exceed the Borrowing Base (“ Overadvance ”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(v) , but all such Revolving Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Any funding or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver of the Event of Default caused thereby.

2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans .

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Lender, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans or of any conversion of LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be promptly confirmed in writing by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. There shall be no minimum borrowing amounts for Base Rate Loans. Each such notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (ii) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (iii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation,

as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrowers fail to specify a Type of Loan or if the Borrowers fail to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Loans. If the Borrowers request a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fail to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Subject to Section 3.05 , a LIBOR Loan may be continued or converted on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. While an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as LIBOR Loans without the consent of the Lender.

(c) The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Lender shall notify the Borrower Agent of any change in the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(d) After giving effect to all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than six (6) Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(e) Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Lender, in the Lender’s sole discretion, to advance to Borrowers, and/or to pay and charge to Borrowers’ Loan Account hereunder, all sums necessary to pay (i) any interest accrued on the Obligations when due and to pay all fees, costs and expenses and other Obligations at any time owed by any Loan Party to the Lender hereunder and (ii) any reasonable service charge or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses due pursuant to Section 10.04(a) when due. The Lender shall advise the Borrower Agent of any such advance or charge promptly after the making thereof. Such action on the part of the Lender shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s rights and the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 2.06(b)(iv) . Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this Section 2.02(e) shall constitute Revolving Loans (notwithstanding the failure of the Borrowers to satisfy any of the conditions to Credit Extensions in Section 5.02 ) and Obligations hereunder and shall bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter applicable to Base Rate Loans.

2.03. Letter of Credit Facility .

(a) Lender agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time until thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(i) Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon its receipt of a Letter of Credit Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Lender may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount.

To the extent any provision of any Letter of Credit Application or other such instrument of agreement overlaps or is inconsistent with any provision of any other Loan Document, the provision of such Loan Document shall be deemed to govern and apply and the provision of such Letter of Credit Application, instrument or agreement shall be deemed to be of no force or effect. Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) it receives a request for a Letter of Credit and a Letter of Credit Application not later than (A) 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance for Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and (B) 11:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance for Letters of Credit Denominated in any Alternative Currency; and (ii) each Letter of Credit Condition is satisfied.

(ii) Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or as otherwise approved by Lender. Increase, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be treated as issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that Lender may require a new Letter of Credit Application in its discretion.

(iii) The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to repay each Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be joint and several and absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (B) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (C) any draft, demand, certificate or other document or endorsement presented under or in connection with such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (D) any payment by Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any payment made by the Lender (in its capacity as a Letter of Credit issuer) under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or (E) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any Subsidiary.

(iv) Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit. Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further

investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument endorsing, transferring or assigning or purporting to endorse, transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall impair, diminish or affect the Lender’s liability for, or prevent a Borrower from asserting a claim against Lender for (A) its gross negligence or willful misconduct or (B) honoring a demand for payment or making a payment with respect to a Letter of Credit where the documents presented in connection with such transfer or payment did not substantially comply with the requirements of the Letter of Credit; provided that the Lender may be liable to a Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves, as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, were caused by the Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight or time draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.

(b) Reimbursement . If the Lender honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Lender, on the same day (“ Reimbursement Date ”) the amount paid under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by Borrowers unless a Borrower has requested a Loan to be made on such day in order to reimburse the Lender for such payment, in which case such Loan shall be applied against such payment. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Lender for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a notice of Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loan in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due on any Reimbursement Date.

(c) Cash Collateral . If at any time (a) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Revolving Credit Termination Date has occurred, or (c) the Maturity Date is scheduled to occur within two (2) Business Days, then Borrowers shall, at Lender’s request, Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit. If Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Lender may advance, as Revolving Loans, the amount of Cash Collateral required.

2.04. Reserved .

2.05. Repayment of Loans .

(a) Revolving Loans . The Borrowers shall repay to the Lender on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of and all accrued and unpaid interest on all Revolving Loans outstanding on such date.

The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Lender from the Borrower Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; and (ii) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. There shall be no minimum prepayment amounts for Base Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if LIBOR Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. If such notice is given by the Borrower Agent, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 .

The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a fee (the “ Unused Fee ”) equal to the Applicable Margin times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of Letter of Credit Obligations. The Unused Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with July 1, 2019, and on the last day of the Availability Period. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.

(b) Letter of Credit Fee . Borrowers shall pay to Lender (a) a fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Loans times the average daily Outstanding Amount of Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with July 1, 2019; (b) a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the amount of each Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable upon the issuance or renewal (automatic or otherwise) thereof or upon any amendment increasing the amount thereof (to the extent of such increase); and (c) all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred and are non-refundable.

Interest shall accrue on each Loan or other Loan Obligation not paid when due for the day on which the Loan is made or such Loan Obligation is due and unpaid, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, or such Loan Obligation for the day on which the Loan, or such portion thereof, or Obligation is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a) , bear interest for one (1) day.

2.11. Evidence of Debt .

Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loan Obligations. Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Lender a Note, which shall evidence the Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. The Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Lender at the Lender’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Lender after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Obligations other than principal and interest on the Loans, including Letter of Credit Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, as specified in Section 2.05(b) . Payments made by Borrowers hereunder shall be applied (i) first, as specifically required in the Loan Documents; (ii) second, to Obligations then due and owing; (iii) third, to other Obligations specified by Borrower Agent; and (iv) fourth, as determined by Lender in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all payments received in respect of the Obligations and all amounts realized with respect to any Collateral or otherwise shall be applied to the Obligations in such amounts and in such order as the Lender may determine in its discretion.

2.13. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower ’ s Liability .

(a) Joint and Several Liability . Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for all Obligations except Excluded Swap Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until the Facility Termination Date, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Borrower is or may become a party or be bound; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by the Lender with respect thereto; (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (iv) the insolvency of any Borrower; (v) any election by the Lender in proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (vii) the disallowance of any claims of the Lender against any Borrower for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (viii) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except full payment in cash or Cash Collateralization of all Obligations on the Facility Termination Date.

(b) Waivers .

(i) Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel the Lender to marshal assets or to proceed against any Borrower, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than full payment of all Obligations. It is agreed by each Borrower, that the provisions of this Section 2.13 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, the Lender would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(ii) The Lender may, in its discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as it deems appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 2.13 . If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, the Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that such Borrower might otherwise have had. Any election of

remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of the Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. The Lender may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by the Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale that is conducted in compliance with applicable Laws, whether the Lender or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the Fair Market Value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 2.13 , notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which the Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale (other than a determination that the sale did not at the time comply with applicable Laws).

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 2.13 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount.

(ii) If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 2.13 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “ Guarantor Payment ”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “ Allocable Amount ” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 2.13 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(iii) Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering

such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 2.13 voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Obligations. Each Loan Party intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(d) Direct Liability; Separate Borrowing Availability . Nothing contained in this Section 2.13 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), Letter of Credit Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Borrower’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. The Lender shall have the right, at any time in its discretion, to condition Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability consistent with the Borrowing Base for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of such Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit to such Borrower.

(e) Joint Enterprise . Each Borrower has requested that the Lender make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. The Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. The Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the Revolving Credit Facility, all to their mutual advantage. The Borrowers acknowledge that the Lender’s willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

(f) Subordination . Each Loan Party hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Loan Party, howsoever arising, to the full payment in cash or Cash Collateralization of all Obligations on or after the Facility Termination Date.

(g) Borrower Agent . Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Company (“ Borrower Agent ”) as its representative and agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Credit Extensions, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications and all notices, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Lender. Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any Loan Party by the Borrower Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Loan Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Loan Party to the same extent as if made directly by such Loan Party and Lender shall be entitled to rely thereon. The Lender may give any notice to

or communication with a Borrower or other Loan Party hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower or Loan Party.

2.14. Cash Collateral .

(a) Certain Credit Support Events . If (i) the Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit upon presentation and such drawing has resulted in a Letter of Credit Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, or (iii) the Borrowers shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02 , the Borrowers shall immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above) or within two (2) Business Days (in all other cases) following any request by the Lender, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(b) Grant of Security Interest . The Borrowers hereby grant to (and subject to the control of) the Lender and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c) . If at any time the Lender determines that Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount or otherwise deficient for any reason, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Lender, pay or provide to the Lender additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in one or more blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Lender.

(c) Application . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

2.15. Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments .

(a) Request for Increase . Provided that no Default has occurred and is continuing, upon notice to and with the written consent of the Lender, the Borrower Agent may from time to time request an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $25,000,000 (each such increase, a “ Commitment Increase ”); provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 in the aggregate or, if less, the entire unutilized amount of the maximum amount of all such requests set forth above. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower Agent shall specify the time period within which the Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be fewer than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lender).

(b) Lender Election to Increase . The Lender shall notify the Borrower Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to commit to all or a portion of the requested increase of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(c) Additional Revolving Credit Lenders . To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Lender (which approval shall not be

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Borrower Agent may also invite additional Persons to become lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and its counsel (each such Person issuing a commitment, executing and delivering such joinder agreement and becoming a lender, an “ Additional Commitment Lender ”), provided, however, that without the consent of the Lender, at no time shall the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Additional Commitment Lender be less than $5,000,000.

(d) Effective Date and Allocations . If the Revolving Credit Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section 2.15 , the Lender and the Borrower Agent shall determine the effective date (the “ Increase Effective Date ”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent and the Additional Commitment Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase . As a condition precedent to such increase, (i) the Borrower Agent shall deliver to the Lender a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, the representations and warranties contained in Article VI and in the other Loan Documents, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, are true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.15 , the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 6.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses ( a) and (b) , respectively, of Section 7.01; (ii) the Borrowers, the Lender, and any Additional Commitment Lender shall have executed and delivered a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and its counsel; (iii) the Borrowers shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the lenders increasing their Revolving Credit Commitments and to the Additional Commitment Lenders as the Borrowers, such lenders and such Additional Commitment Lenders shall agree; (iv) the Borrowers shall have paid such arrangement fees, if any, to the Lender as the Borrowers and the Lender may agree; (v) other than the fees and compensation referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv) above, the Commitment Increase shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation applicable to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments; (vi) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender (A) an opinion or opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, from counsel to the Loan Parties reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and dated such date and (B) a certification from the Borrower Agent, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, that such increase is permitted under the documents governing any other material Indebtedness; (vii) the Borrowers and each Additional Commitment Lender shall have delivered such other instruments, documents and agreements as the Lender may reasonably have requested; and (viii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall result from the Commitment Increase then being effected. The Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date shall be reallocated and adjusted between and among the Lender and each Additional Commitment Lender, and the Borrowers shall pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 resulting therefrom, to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding applicable Revolving Loans ratable among the applicable

lenders with any revised pro rata shares, as applicable, arising from any nonratable increase in the applicable Revolving Loans under this Section 2.15 .

(f) Conflicting Provisions . This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01. Taxes .

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes .

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the Loan Parties to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrower Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (f) below.

(ii) If any Loan Party shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Borrowers shall withhold or make such deductions as are required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (f) below, (B) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Parties shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers . Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Tax Indemnification by the Borrowers . Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Lender and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount (without duplication) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Loan Parties or the Lender or paid by the Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,

whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(d) Evidence of Payments . Upon request by the Borrower Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties or by the Lender to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01 , the Borrower Agent shall deliver to the Lender or the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Agent or the Lender, as the case may be.

(e) Treatment of Certain Refunds . If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by any Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph to any Loan Party ( plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(f) Status of Lenders .

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent as will enable the Borrower Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.01(f)(ii)(A) , 3.01(f)(ii)(B) and 3.01(f)(ii)(D) ) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; and

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “ U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate ”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender

becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

3.02. Illegality . If the Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender or its applicable Lender’s Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower Agent, (i) any obligation of the Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of the Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Lender without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until the Lender notifies the Borrower Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Loan Parties shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of the Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of the Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Lender without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of the Lender

determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, the Lender shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBOR Rate component thereof until it is no longer illegal for the Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Loan Parties shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03. Inability to Determine Rates . If the Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Loan, the Lender will promptly so notify the Borrower Agent. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain the LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Lender revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error) that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining ICE LIBOR or for any requested Interest Period, because ICE LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;

(ii) the administrator of ICE LIBOR or a Governmental Body having jurisdiction over the Lender has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which ICE LIBOR shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “ Scheduled Unavailability Date ”), or

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace ICE LIBOR,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Lender, the Lender and the Borrowers may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to replace ICE LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) (any such proposed rate, a “ LIBOR Successor Rate ”), together with any conforming changes in this Agreement or any other Loan Document which are necessary or appropriate to reflect the change to the LIBOR Successor Rate.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Lender will promptly so notify the Borrower Agent. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the LIBOR Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

3.04. Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBOR Loans .

(a) Increased Costs Generally . If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e) );

(ii) subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect thereof (except in each case for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, Taxes described in clause (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes); or

(iii) impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by the Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (other than Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to the Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Lender pursuant to subsection (c) below, the Loan Parties will pay to the Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements . If any Change in Law affecting the Lender or any Lender’s Office of the Lender or the Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Lender or the Loans made by, or Letters of

Credit issued by, the Lender, to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time pursuant to subsection (c) below the Loan Parties will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

The Loan Parties shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests .

(e) Reserves on LIBOR Loans . The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender, as long as the Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “ Eurocurrency Liabilities ”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by the Lender (as determined by the Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower Agent shall have received at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice of such additional interest from the Lender. If the Lender fails to give notice ten (10) Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) Business Days from receipt of such notice.

3.05. Compensation for Losses . Upon demand of the Lender, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate the Lender for and hold the Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(b) any failure by Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of the Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower Agent; or

(c) any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the Lender in connection with the foregoing.

3.06. Mitigation Obligations; Designation of a Different Lender ’ s Office . If the Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 , or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 , or if the Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02 , then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lender’s Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 , as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02 , as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Secured Parties are arm’s-length commercial transactions between each Loan Party, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, (B) each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each Secured Party is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates or any other Person and (B) no Secured Party has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, (iii) the Secured Parties may be engaged in a board range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and

10.19. Currency Matters .

(a) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Lender could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Lender or other Secured Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “ Agreement Currency ”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Lender or other Secured Party, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender from any Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Lender or other Secured Party, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Lender in such currency, the Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

(b) For purposes of any determination under any provision of this Agreement (other than the foregoing Section 10.19(a) ) requiring the use of a current exchange rate, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at the Exchange Rate then in effect on the date of such determination.

(c) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Lender may from time to time specify with the Borrower Agent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to appropriately reflect a change in

124

currency of any country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency.

ARTICLE XI

CONTINUING GUARANTY

11.01. Guaranty . Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations except for Excluded Swap Obligations, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Borrowers to the Secured Parties, arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof). The Lender’s books and records showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be prima facie evidence for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations, absent manifest error. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

11.02. Rights of the Lender . Each Subsidiary Guarantor consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lender in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor.

11.03. Certain Waivers . Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrowers or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Secured Party) of the liability of the Borrowers; (b) any defense based on any claim that any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrowers; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to proceed against the Borrowers, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to

125

participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable Law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.

11.04. Obligations Independent . The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

11.05. Subrogation . No Subsidiary Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until the Facility Termination Date. If any amounts are paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Secured Parties to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

11.06. Termination; Reinstatement . This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary Guarantor is made, or any of the Secured Parties exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Secured Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Secured Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

11.07. Subordination . Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the Borrowers owing to each Subsidiary Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of the Borrowers to any Subsidiary Guarantor as subrogee of the Secured Parties or resulting from any Subsidiary Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the Payment in Full of all Obligations. If the Secured Parties so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Borrowers to any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by any Subsidiary Guarantor as trustee for the Secured Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Secured Parties on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty.

126

11.08. Stay of Acceleration . If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed in connection with any case commenced by or against any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Borrowers under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each Subsidiary Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Secured Parties.

11.09. Condition of Borrowers . Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrowers and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrowers and any such other guarantor as each Subsidiary Guarantor requires, and that none of the Secured Parties has any duty, and no Subsidiary Guarantor is relying on the Secured Parties at any time, to disclose to any Subsidiary Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrowers or any other guarantor and each Subsidiary Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

Interest shall accrue each day on any Base Rate Loan, from and including the first day a Loan becomes a Base Rate Loan to, but not including, the day such Base Rate Loan is paid in full or converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate in effect each day. Any change in the Adjusted Base Rate shall be

effective on the date of such change.

2.02.3. Availability of LIBOR. If at any time: (a) the Lender has determined that a Regulatory Change or a change in market conditions has made it impractical for the Lender to offer pricing based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate; (b) the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate; or (c) the Lender determines that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the proposed LIBOR Rate Borrowing; then the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, all LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if the Lender determines that the LIBOR Rate cannot be ascertained, be determined by the Lender without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate). The Lender shall promptly (as soon as practicable thereafter) notify the Borrower if and when the Lender determines that the circumstances that led to the Lender’s determination and notice under this Section 2.02.3 no longer exist, whereupon any outstanding Base Rate Loans shall automatically convert to LIBOR Rate Loans.

2.02.4. Illegality. If the Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make, maintain or fund the LIBOR Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, (a) any obligation of the Lender to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be immediately suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of the Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of the Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Lender without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, immediately upon demand from the Lender, at the Borrower’s option, convert all LIBOR Rate Loans of the Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Lender without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate), or pay to the Lender the aggregate principal amount of all affected LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of the Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, the Lender shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable without reference to the LIBOR Rate component thereof until the Lender determines that it is no longer illegal for the Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay to the Lender accrued interest on the amount so paid together with any related Lender Expenses. The Lender shall promptly (as soon as practicable thereafter) notify the Borrower if and when the Lender determines that the circumstances that led to the Lender’s determination and notice under this Section 2.02.4 no longer exist, whereupon any outstanding Base Rate Loans shall automatically convert to LIBOR Rate Loans.

2.02.5. Breakage Costs. The Borrower agrees to compensate the Lender from time to time, upon demand from the Lender, for all losses, expenses, lost earnings, costs and liabilities (including all interest paid to lenders of funds borrowed by the Lender to carry LIBOR Rate Borrowings) which the Lender sustains as a result of any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Rate Borrowing on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice given by the

Borrower to the Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

2.02.6. Default Interest; Interest After Judgment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement and without limiting any other rights and remedies of the Lender, upon and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Lender may elect, without prior notice (a) to convert any LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans and to suspend the right of the Borrower to borrow at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, without waiving its rights to have any such outstanding principal balances accrue interest at the Default Rate and/or (b) increase the rate of interest to the Default Rate. If judgment is entered against the Borrower on account of the Credit Facility, the Loans, the Note, this Agreement, or the Credit Documents, the amount of the judgment entered (which may include principal, interest, fees, and costs) shall bear interest at the higher of the maximum interest rate imposed upon judgments by applicable Law or the Default Rate, to be determined on the date of the entry of the judgment.

2.02.7. Calculation Of Interest. Interest on unpaid balances of the Loans and other Obligations shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days, or, in the case of Base Rate Loans, 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

2.02.8. Maximum Rate Of Interest. Any provision contained in the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lender shall not be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall the Borrower be obligated to pay, interest, fees, or charges thereunder in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by any applicable Law, and if any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Credit Documents is construed or held by any court of law or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction to permit or require the charging, collection or payment of any amount of interest in excess of that permitted by such Laws, the provisions of this Section shall control and shall override any contrary or inconsistent provision. The intention of the parties is to at all times conform strictly with all applicable usury requirements and other Laws limiting the maximum rates of interest which may be lawfully charged upon the Loans. The interest to be paid pursuant to the Note shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury or other Laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction, and any sums of money paid in excess of the interest rate allowed by applicable Law shall be applied in reduction of the principal amount owing pursuant to the Note.

2.02.9. Late Payment Charges. Any payment of principal, interest or fees due upon the Loans (including any final payment) which is received by the Lender more than fifteen (15) calendar days after its due date shall incur a late payment charge equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of the payment due, which charge shall be immediately due and payable. The existence of the right by the Lender to receive a late payment charge shall not be deemed to constitute a grace period or provide any right to the Borrower to make a payment other than on such payment’s scheduled due date.

Section 2.03. Application Of Payments . Except as expressly required to the contrary by the terms of this Agreement, all payments received upon the Loans may be applied first to Lender Expenses, next to late payment charges, then to accrued interest and then to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans, or in such other order of application as elected by the Lender.

Section 2.04. Increased Costs.

2.04.1. Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by the Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate);

(b) subject the Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(c) impose on the Lender or the London Interbank Market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Loans made by the Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making, converting to, or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Lender, the Borrower will pay to the Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

2.04.2. Capital Requirements . If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, or the Loans, to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

2.04.3. Certificate for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section 2.04 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

2.04.4. Delay in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that the Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.05. Taxes.

2.05.1. Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder and under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Loan Party shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall make such deductions and (c) the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.05 references to “applicable Law” shall include FATCA.

2.05.2. Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties . Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.05.1 above, the Borrower and each other applicable Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

2.05.3. Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Lender, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.05.4. Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Borrower shall deliver or cause such other Loan Party to deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

2.05.5. Status of Lender.

(a) If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material

unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(i) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax.

(ii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “ U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate ”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3 , IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv) if a payment made to the Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and M & T Bank, as Lender, have agreed that each of them shall deliver to the other prior to the Closing Date, an executed copy of IRS Form W-9, certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax.

2.05.6. Treatment of Certain Refunds . If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.05 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.05), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.05.6 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.05.6, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.05.6 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other

information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

2.05.7. Survival . Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.05 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, the Lender, the termination of the Credit Facility and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Loans, the Credit Facility, this Agreement, or any Credit Document.

Section 2.06. Payments. All payments received by the Lender which are to be applied to reduce the Obligations shall be provisional and shall not be considered final unless and until such payment is not subject to avoidance under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, including Sections 547 and 550, or any state law governing insolvency or creditors’ rights. If any payment is avoided or set aside under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 547 and 550, or any state law governing insolvency or creditors’ rights, the payment shall be considered not to have been made for all purposes of this Agreement and the Lender shall adjust the Lender’s records to reflect the fact that the avoided payment was not made and has not been credited against the Obligations.

Section 2.07. Advancements. If the Borrower or any other Loan Party fails to perform any of its respective agreements or covenants contained in the Credit Documents or if the Borrower or any other Loan Party fails to protect or preserve the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or the status and priority of the Liens of the Lender in the Collateral or in any other security for the Obligations, the Lender may make advances to perform the same on behalf of the Borrower or other Loan Party to protect or preserve the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or the status and priority of the Liens of the Lender in the Collateral or in any other security for the Obligations, and all sums so advanced shall immediately upon such advance become secured by the Liens granted in the Credit Documents and any other security for the Obligations, and shall become part of the principal amount owed to the Lender with interest to be assessed at the Default Rate. The Borrower shall repay on demand all sums so advanced on the Borrower’s behalf, plus all expenses or costs incurred by the Lender, including reasonable legal fees, with interest thereon. The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to prevent the institution of the rights and remedies of the Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. The authorization contained in this Section is not intended to impose any duty or obligation on the Lender to perform any action or make any advancement on behalf of the Borrower and is intended to be for the sole benefit and protection of the Lender.

Section 2.08. Swap Obligations; Keepwell . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, any Swap Obligations of any Loan Party that is not an Eligible Contract Participant shall not include any Excluded Swap Liabilities; provided however , to the extent that a Loan Party is an Eligible Contract Participant, such Loan Party (in addition to its other Obligations and agreements hereunder), hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party in respect of the Swap Obligations. The obligations of each Loan Party , to the extent that it is an Eligible Contract Participant, under this Section 2.08 shall remain in full force and effect until indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each Loan Party, to the extent that such Loan Party is an Eligible Contract Participant, intends that this Section 2.08 constitute, and this Section 2.08 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA.

Form of Guaranty Agreement

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

This GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “ Guaranty ”) is entered into as of April 16, 2019 by FREIGHTCAR AMERICA LEASING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Guarantor ”) in favor of and for the benefit of M & T BANK, a New York banking corporation (the “ Lender ”). Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement dated of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified, the “ Agreement ”) by and between the Lender and FREIGHTCAR AMERICA LEASING 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Borrower ”).

RECITALS

At the request of the Borrower, the Lender has agreed to provide the Credit Facility and the Loans to the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

It is a condition precedent to the obligations of the Lender to provide the Credit Facility and to extend Loans from time to time to the Borrower in accordance with the Agreement, that the Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty. The Guarantor is willing to provide this Guaranty to the Lender in order to induce the Lender to provide the Credit Facility to the Borrower.

Hereafter, the Borrower and Swap Providers, each in its own discretion, may elect from time to time to enter into Swaps and Swap Agreements, and the Lender and any such Swap Providers are collectively referred to as the “ Beneficiaries ”.

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantors agree as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty . (a) The Guarantor, irrevocably and unconditionally, guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance in full to the Lender and to any other Beneficiaries of all “ Guaranteed Obligations ” (as hereinafter defined) when and as due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code).

(b) As used herein, the term “ Guaranteed Obligations ” means (i) any and all Obligations of the Borrower to the Lender, including without limitation, all duties and obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans and all duties and obligations of the Borrower under any Swaps, now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, presently contemplated or uncontemplated, whether due or not due, and however arising under or in connection with the Agreement, any Swaps, or any of the other Credit Documents, and (ii) all other obligations of payment, performance, and indemnification which the Guarantor has undertaken and assumed pursuant to this Guaranty, the Agreement, and the other Credit Documents. Without limitation to the foregoing, any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that accrues after the commencement of any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrower (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of Law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if said proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations. It is the express intention of the Guarantor

and of the Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined without regard to any rule of Law that might otherwise relieve the Borrower of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) Upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, the Guarantor will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in immediately available funds, to the Lender and any other Beneficiary, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the unpaid Guaranteed Obligations.

(d) With respect to any Obligations of the Borrower under any Swap Agreement, the Guaranteed Obligations shall exclude any Excluded Swap Liabilities, but, to the extent that the Guarantor is an Eligible Contract Participant, shall include any applicable keepwell and support obligations, all as set forth in Section 2.08 of the Agreement.

Section 2. Guaranty Absolute and Continuing. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Guarantor agrees that: (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not just of collection; (b) the Beneficiaries may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Agreement notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such event; (c) the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents or the Swaps and the obligations of any other guarantor of obligations of the Borrower and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions; and (d) a payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations by the Guarantor shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge the liability of the Guarantor for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that has not been paid. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and the Guarantor irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 3. Actions By Beneficiaries . The Beneficiaries may from time to time, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty or giving rise to any limitation, impairment or discharge of the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, (a) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations, (c) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Guaranteed Obligations, (d) release, exchange, compromise, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (e) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Beneficiary in respect of this Guaranty or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that the Lender or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them, may have against any such security, consistent with the Agreement, the Swaps and any applicable security agreements, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and (f) exercise any other rights available to the Lender or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them, under the Credit Documents or the Swaps.

Section 4. No Discharge. This Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including without limitation the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (a) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any waiver or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions of the Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents, the Swaps or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (d) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though the Lender or the other Beneficiaries, or any of them, might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, (e) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (f) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which any Borrower may assert against the Lender or any other Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (g) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent alter or vary the risk of the Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 5. Waivers . To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Guarantor waives, for the benefit of the Lender and for the benefit of the other Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require the Lender or the other Beneficiaries, as a condition of payment or performance by the Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of the Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of Law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon the Lender’s or any other Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) (i) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (ii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iii) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of this Guaranty, notices of default under the Agreement, notices of default or early termination under any Swap Agreement or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Sections 3 and 4 of this Guaranty and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) to the extent permitted by Law, any other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties.

Section 6. Guarantor ’ s Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.; Subordination of Other Obligations. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and any duties of the Lender to continue to fund any of the Loans shall have been irrevocably terminated and all Swaps are no longer in effect, the Guarantor shall withhold exercise of (a) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that the Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that the Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower, and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary and (b) any right of contribution the Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification the Guarantor may have against any of the Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution the Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Lender or the other Beneficiaries may have against the Borrower, to all right, title and interest the Lender or the other Beneficiaries may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right the Lender or the other Beneficiaries may have against such other guarantor. Any indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter held by the Guarantor is subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness of the Borrower to the Guarantor collected or received by the Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any amount paid to the Guarantor on account of any subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights referred to in the preceding paragraph when all Guaranteed Obligations have not been paid in full, shall be held in trust for the Lender on behalf of the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Lender for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 7. Expenses . The Guarantor agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, on demand, and to save the Lender and the other Beneficiaries harmless against liability for, (a) any and all Lender Expenses, including Lender Expenses incurred or expended by the Lender or any other Beneficiary in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of any rights under this Guaranty and (b) any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including those arising from rights of indemnification) required to be paid by the Guarantor under the provisions of the Agreement or any other Credit Document.

Section 8. Financial Condition of Borrower. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation, and the Guarantor waives any duty on the part of any Beneficiary, to disclose or discuss with the Guarantor its assessment, or the Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower or any matter or fact relating to the business, operations or condition of the Borrower. The Guarantor acknowledges that it has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial conditions of the Borrower and any of the Borrower’s abilities to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and the Swaps, and the Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 9. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor makes, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, each of the representations and warranties made in the Agreement by the Borrower as to the Guarantor, its assets, financial condition, operations, organization, legal status, business and the Credit Documents to which it is a party.

Section 10. Covenants . The Guarantor agrees that, so long as any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain unpaid or the Lender shall have any commitment to advance proceeds of the Loan or any Swap Provider shall have any obligation under any Swap Agreement, the Guarantor will perform or observe all of the terms, covenants and agreements that the Credit Documents state that the Guarantor is to perform or observe or Borrower is to cause the Guarantor to perform or observe.

Section 11. Set Off . Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights any Beneficiary may have under law or in equity, if any amount shall at such time be due and owing by the Guarantor to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty, such Beneficiary is authorized upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, from time to time during such continuation of such Event of Default, without notice (any such notice being expressly waived), to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including but not limited to indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness of such Beneficiary owing to a Guarantor and any other property of the Guarantor held by a Beneficiary to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against and on account of the Guaranteed Obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty.

Section 12. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Lender, any other then existing Beneficiaries, and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, the Guarantor. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

Section 13. Rights Are Cumulative . The rights, powers and remedies given to the Beneficiaries by this Guaranty are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies given to the Beneficiaries by virtue of any Laws or in any of the Credit Documents or the Swaps or any agreements between the Guarantor and one or more Beneficiaries or between the Borrower and one or more Beneficiaries. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay by any Beneficiary in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

otherwise, and any such payments that are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations.

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Credit Documents, the Lender has financed for Borrower certain railcars and related inventory and equipment described therein (collectively, the “ Railcars ”).

In order to induce the Lender to consent to the Lease, by signing below, Lessee hereby consents to the assignment and acknowledges and agrees as follows:

The Lender is entitled to enforce all rights so assigned but does not assume any of the obligations of Borrower under the Lease. LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT AGAINST THE LENDER, ANY DEFENSE (OTHER THAN PAYMENT), COUNTERCLAIM OR OFFSET THAT LESSEE MAY HAVE AGAINST BORROWER. Lessee acknowledges that no such assignment will materially change Lessee’s duties under the Lease or materially increase its burdens or risks under the Lease.

The Lease is valid, in full force and effect, enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with the terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and to the effect of general principals of equity whether applied by a court of law or equity). No defaults exist thereunder and Borrower has performed all obligations required to be performed under the Lease through the date hereof. There have been no amendments, modifications or waivers with respect to the Lease [except as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto].

Lessee agrees that until it receives notice of Borrower’s default under the Credit Documents from the Lender, Lessee will continue to make to Borrower its regular rent payments due under the Lease.

Lessee acknowledges that Borrower’s obligations under the Lease are the sole responsibility of Borrower, and the Lender shall have no obligations of Borrower thereunder. Lessee agrees to look solely to Borrower and not to the Lender for performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Lease, including, without limitation, the obligations of maintenance and indemnity, if any. The Lease shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations therein.

The Lease and all of Lessee’s obligations thereunder, including without limitation the obligation to make all rent payments thereunder, are absolute and irrevocable and shall continue in full force and effect without abatement and regardless of any cause or reason whatsoever, except as expressly set forth in the Lease.

Any rights Lessee may have in or to the Leased Equipment by virtue of the Lease, including Lessee’s right to possession of the Leased Equipment and any purchase or renewal options, are subordinate, junior and subject to the Lender’s rights and interests; [ provided that the Lender will comply with the covenant of quiet enjoyment provided in Section of the Lease.] ⁵ To the extent requested by the Lender, Lessee shall take all action necessary to perfect and protect all rights, titles and interests of the Lender in the Lease and the Leased Equipment under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law.

9.	Lessee acknowledges that Borrower’s collateral assignment of the Lease to the Lender shall not preclude further assignments of the Lease by the Lender and shall not relieve Lessee of any of its duties pursuant to the Lease should such further assignments be made.
