                           EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT
                                (TRLIII 2003-1C)

            This Equipment Lease Agreement (TRLIII 2003-1C), dated as of
November 12, 2003 (this "Lease"), is by and between TRLIII 2003-1C Railcar
Statutory Trust, a Connecticut statutory trust, as Lessor, and Trinity Rail
Leasing III L.P., a Texas limited partnership, as Lessee.

            In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other
good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions.

            Unless otherwise defined herein or required by the context, all
capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to
such terms in Appendix A hereto for all purposes of this Lease.

SECTION 2. Acceptance and Leasing of Equipment.

            Subject to Section 4 of the Participation Agreement, Lessor hereby
agrees to accept delivery of each Unit from Lessee and to lease such Unit to
Lessee hereunder, and Lessee hereby agrees, immediately following such
acceptance by Lessor, to lease from Lessor hereunder such Unit, such acceptance
by Lessor and lease by Lessee to be evidenced by the execution and delivery by
Lessee and Lessor of a Lease Supplement covering such Unit, all in accordance
with Section 2.3(b) of the Participation Agreement. Lessee hereby agrees that
its execution and delivery of a Lease Supplement covering any Unit shall,
without further act, irrevocably constitute acceptance by Lessee of such Unit
for all purposes of this Lease.

SECTION 3. Term and Rent.

            Section 3.1 Lease Term. The basic term of this Lease (the "Basic
Term") shall commence on the Basic Term Commencement Date and, subject to
earlier termination pursuant to Section 10, 11, 15 or 22.1, shall expire at
11:59 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the date immediately prior to the Basic
Term Expiration Date. Subject and pursuant to Section 22.4, Lessee may elect one
Renewal Term.

            Section 3.2 Basic Rent. Lessee hereby agrees to pay to Lessor Basic
Rent for each Unit throughout the Basic Term applicable thereto in consecutive
monthly installments payable on each Rent Payment Date. Each such monthly
payment of Basic Rent shall be in an amount equal to the product of the
Equipment Cost for each Unit subject to lease hereunder multiplied by the Basic
Rent percentage set forth opposite such Rent Payment Date on Schedule 3-A to the
Participation Agreement (as such Schedule 3-A shall be adjusted pursuant to
Section 2.6 of the Participation Agreement). Notwithstanding Lessee's payment
obligations set forth in the preceding two sentences, Lessee's liability on
account of the use of the Units during each Lease Period shall accrue and be
allocated within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.467-1(c)(2)(ii)(A)(2) to each Lease Period as set forth on Schedule 3-B to the
Participation

<PAGE>

Agreement. Basic Rent shall be allocated to each calendar year in the Basic Term
based upon the assumption that each calendar year in the Basic Term is 360 days,
consisting of four 90-day quarters and twelve 30-day months. It is the intention
of Lessor and Lessee that (x) the allocations of Basic Rent set forth on
Schedule 3-B to the Participation Agreement constitute specific allocations of
fixed rent within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.467-1(c)(2)(ii)
and (y) the first three Lease Periods shall constitute a rent holiday to which
no Basic Rent is allocated. Stipulated Loss Amounts and Termination Amounts have
been calculated on the basis that (i) any Basic Rents actually due on the date
of such calculation shall not have been paid and (ii) any Basic Rents scheduled
to have been paid prior to the date of such calculation are assumed to have been
paid and have been appropriately reflected in such calculations. Lessor and
Lessee agree to include in income and deduct the Basic Rents allocated to each
Lease Period and calendar year according to Schedule 3-B of the Participation
Agreement.

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the
Participation Agreement, each installment of Basic Rent (both before and after
any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Participation Agreement) shall be,
under any circumstances and in any event, in an amount at least sufficient for
Lessor to pay in full as of the due date of such installment, an amount equal to
the sum of (x) any payment of principal of and interest on the Equipment Notes
required to be paid by Lessor pursuant to the Indenture on such due date in
accordance with the Scheduled Amortization and (y) the Policy Provider Base
Premium Amount required to be paid on the due date of such installment.

            Section 3.3 Supplemental Rent. Lessee also agrees to pay to Lessor,
or to whosoever shall be entitled thereto, any and all Supplemental Rent, as and
when due, or where no due date is specified, promptly after demand by the Person
entitled thereto, and in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay
any Supplemental Rent, Lessor shall have all rights, powers and remedies
provided for herein or by law or equity or otherwise as in the case of
nonpayment of Basic Rent. Lessee will also pay, as Supplemental Rent, (i) on
demand, to the extent permitted by applicable law, an amount equal to Late
Payment Interest on any part of any installment of Basic Rent not paid when due
for any period for which the same shall be overdue and on any payment of
Supplemental Rent not paid when due or promptly after demanded for the period
from such due date or demand date, as applicable, until the same shall be paid
and (ii) as and when due in accordance with the Trust Indenture or the
Participation Agreement, any Make-Whole Amount payable with respect to any
Equipment Note, including, without limitation, amounts of Make-Whole Amount due
in the case of the termination of this Lease with respect to any Unit pursuant
to Section 6.9 (other than clause 6.9(a)(C) thereof) of the Participation
Agreement, and in the case of any refinancing of the Equipment Notes pursuant to
Section 10.2 of the Participation Agreement but excluding any Make-Whole Amount
payable pursuant to Section 4.4(b) of the Indenture. All Supplemental Rent to be
paid pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be payable in the type of funds and in
the manner set forth in Section 3.5.

            Section 3.4 Adjustment of Rent. Lessee and Lessor agree that the
payments and allocations of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values, Stipulated Loss
Amounts, Termination Values and Termination Amount percentages and the Early
Purchase Price shall be adjusted to the extent provided in Section 2.6 of the
Participation Agreement.

            Section 3.5 Manner of Payments. All Rent (other than Supplemental
Rent payable to Persons other than Lessor, which shall be payable to such other
Persons in accordance with written instructions furnished to Lessee by such
Persons, as otherwise provided in any of the Operative Agreements or as required
by law) shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor at its office at 225 Asylum Street,
23rd Floor, Hartford, CT 06103, Attention: Corporate Trust Department, provided,
that so long as the Indenture shall not have been discharged pursuant to the
terms thereof, Lessor hereby directs, and Lessee hereby agrees, that all Rent
(excluding Excepted Property) payable to Lessor shall be paid from the Payment
Account directly to the Indenture Trustee at the times and in funds of the type
specified in this Section 3.5 at the office of the Indenture Trustee at Rodney
Square North, 1100 N. Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19890-0001, ABA No.
031100092, Account No. 64008-0, Ref: Trinity Rail-TRLIII 2003-1C, or at such
other location in the United States of America as the Indenture Trustee may
otherwise direct. All Rent shall be paid by Lessee to the recipient not later
than 11:00 a.m. Chicago, Illinois time on the date of such payment in funds
consisting of lawful currency of the United States of America, which shall be
immediately available. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary, any amounts received by any Person pursuant to distribution from any
of the Accounts shall for all purposes hereof be deemed payment in satisfaction
of the related obligation hereunder to which such distribution relates and any
failure by Lessor, the Indenture Trustee or any Indemnified Party to receive
from the Collateral Agent the full amount of any such distribution measured by
reference to Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent or any component thereof shall be
deemed a failure by Lessee to pay such Basic Rent or Supplemental Rent
hereunder, as the case may be.

SECTION 4. Ownership and Marking of Equipment.

            Section 4.1 Retention of Title. Lessor shall and hereby does retain
full legal title to and beneficial ownership of each Unit for all purposes
(including for all tax purposes) notwithstanding the delivery to and possession
and use of such Unit by Lessee hereunder or any Sublessee under any sublease
permitted hereby.

            Section 4.2 Duty to Number and Mark Equipment. With respect to the
Units to be delivered on the Closing Date, Lessee represents that Manager has
caused, and on or prior to the date on which a Lease Supplement is executed and
delivered in respect of a Replacement Unit pursuant to Section 11.4(b) (or, if
the applicable Replacement Unit is not in the possession of Lessee or the
Manager, as soon as practicable and in any event no later than ten Business Days
after the earliest date on which Lessee or the Manager obtains possession of
such Replacement Unit (whether for purposes of repair or maintenance or
otherwise)), Lessee will cause, each Unit to be numbered with the reporting mark
shown on the Lease Supplement dated the date on which such Unit was delivered
and covering such Unit, and will from and after such date keep and maintain,
plainly, distinctly, permanently and conspicuously marked by a plate or stencil
printed in contrasting colors upon each side of each Unit, in letters not less
than one inch in height, a legend substantially as follows:

                  FILED WITH THE SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD"

                                       3
<PAGE>

with appropriate changes thereof and additions thereto as from time to time may
be required by law in order to protect Lessor's right, title and interest in and
to such Unit, its rights under this Lease and the rights of the Indenture
Trustee. Except as provided hereinabove, Lessee will not place any such Units in
operation or exercise any control or dominion over the same until the required
legend shall have been so marked on both sides thereof, and will replace
promptly any such word or words in such legend which may be removed, defaced,
obliterated or destroyed. In the event of a change in the reporting mark of any
Unit, as soon as practicable (and in any event within 60 days after a
Responsible Officer of the Manager has received notice of any such changed mark)
a statement of the new reporting mark to be substituted therefor shall be
delivered by Lessee to Lessor and, so long as the Indenture shall not have been
discharged pursuant to its terms, to the Indenture Trustee. As soon as
practicable, but in any event within 30 days, after the delivery of such
statement a supplement to this Lease and, if not so discharged, the Indenture,
with respect to such new reporting marks, shall be filed or recorded in all
public offices where this Lease and the Indenture shall have been filed or
recorded and in such other places, if any, where Lessor and, so long as the
Indenture shall not have been discharged pursuant to its terms, the Indenture
Trustee may reasonably request in order to protect, preserve and maintain its
right, title and interest in the Units. The costs and expenses of all such
supplements, filings and recordings shall be borne by Lessee.

            Section 4.3 Prohibition Against Certain Designations. Except as
provided in Section 4.2 above, Lessee will not allow or permit the name of any
Person to be placed on any Unit as a designation that might reasonably be
interpreted as a claim of ownership and shall not, and shall not permit the
Manager, any Sublessee or any other Person to, alter the reporting marks with
respect to any Unit. Lessee may cause or permit any Unit to be lettered with the
names or initials or other insignia (other than reporting marks) customarily
used by Lessee or any applicable Permitted Sublessee or any of their respective
Affiliates on railcars used by it of the same or a similar type for convenience
of identification of the right of Lessee to use such Unit hereunder or such
Permitted Sublessee to use such Unit pursuant to a Permitted Sublease.

SECTION 5. Disclaimer of Warranties.

            Section 5.1 Disclaimer of Warranties. Without waiving any claim
Lessee may have against any seller, supplier or manufacturer, LESSEE
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (i) EACH UNIT IS OF A SIZE, DESIGN, CAPACITY AND
MANUFACTURE SELECTED BY AND ACCEPTABLE TO LESSEE, (ii) LESSEE IS SATISFIED THAT
EACH UNIT IS SUITABLE FOR ITS PURPOSES AND LESSEE HAS ACCEPTED EACH UNIT, (iii)
NEITHER LESSOR NOR OWNER PARTICIPANT IS A MANUFACTURER OR A DEALER IN PROPERTY
OF SUCH KIND OR HAS INSPECTED THE UNITS PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO AND ACCEPTANCE BY
LESSEE, (iv) EACH UNIT IS LEASED HEREUNDER SUBJECT TO ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS NOW IN EFFECT OR HEREAFTER ADOPTED AND (v) LESSOR
LEASES AND LESSEE TAKES EACH UNIT "AS-IS", "WHERE-IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS", IN
WHATEVER CONDITION IT MAY BE, AND LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NONE OF LESSOR, AS
LESSOR OR IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, INDENTURE TRUSTEE, ANY LOAN PARTICIPANT,
THE POLICY PROVIDER OR THE OWNER PARTICIPANT MAKES NOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE
MADE, AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS, WARRANTIES OR

                                       4
<PAGE>

REPRESENTATIONS EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE VALUE, USE, CONDITION,
FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESIGN, OPERATION, MERCHANTABILITY THEREOF
OR AS TO THE TITLE OF ANY UNIT, THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP
THEREOF OR CONFORMITY THEREOF TO SPECIFICATIONS, FREEDOM FROM PATENT, COPYRIGHT
OR TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT, THE ABSENCE OF ANY LATENT OR OTHER DEFECT, WHETHER OR
NOT DISCOVERABLE, OR AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY OBLIGATIONS BASED ON STRICT
LIABILITY IN TORT OR ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY
WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT THERETO AND EACH OF LESSOR, INDENTURE TRUSTEE, ANY LOAN
PARTICIPANT, THE POLICY PROVIDER AND OWNER PARTICIPANT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS
SELECTION OF THE UNITS, except that Lessor, in its individual capacity,
represents and warrants that on the Closing Date, Lessor shall have received
whatever title to each Unit as was conveyed to Lessor by Lessee and each Unit
will be free of Lessor's Liens attributable to Lessor and provided that the
foregoing disclaimer in clause (v) shall not extend to Owner Participant's
representation and warranty contained in Section 3.5(e) of the Participation
Agreement. Lessee's delivery of a Lease Supplement shall be conclusive evidence
as between Lessee and Lessor that all Units described therein are in all the
foregoing respects satisfactory to Lessee, and Lessee will not assert any claim
of any nature whatsoever against Lessor based on any of the foregoing matters.

            Section 5.2 Rights and Obligations Under Subleases. Unless a Lease
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under Section 14 and
Lessor shall have given written notice to Lessee, Lessor agrees to make
available to Lessee such rights as Lessor may have, and Lessee shall be entitled
to exercise all rights of Lessor under, each Sublease in each case, subject to
the applicable provisions of this Lease and the Collateral Agency Agreement, if
any. Lessor hereby delegates to Lessee, and Lessee hereby assumes and shall be
obligated to perform, all obligations of Lessor under each Sublease, in each
case subject to the applicable provisions of this Lease and Collateral Agency
Agreement, if any.

SECTION 6. Return of Equipment; Storage.

            Section 6.1 Return; Holdover Rent. (a) Not less than 180 days prior
to the end of the Basic Term or the end of the Renewal Term, if Lessee has
elected to return the Units under Section 22.2, Lessee will provide Lessor with
a list of not less than ten (10) alternative storage locations ("Storage
Locations") used by Lessee for the storage of rolling stock within the
Contiguous United States with sufficient available storage capacity to store the
Units and the available storage capacities of such locations. Unless Lessee
shall have purchased the Units pursuant to Section 22 of this Lease or pursuant
to Section 6.9 of the Participation Agreement, not less than 90 days prior to
the end of the Lease Term, Lessor will give Lessee irrevocable notice of its
decision either to take possession of or store the Units. If Lessor shall have
decided to take possession of the Units, the terms of Section 6.1(b) will apply.
If Lessor shall have decided to store the Units, the terms of Section 6.1(c)
will apply.

            (b) Unless Lessee shall have purchased the Units pursuant to Section
22 of this Lease or pursuant to Section 6.9 of the Participation Agreement, if
Lessor shall have decided to take possession of the Units, Lessee will, at its
sole risk and expense, deliver possession of the Units at any storage
location(s), f.o.b. such location(s), (i) as may be agreed upon by Lessor and

                                       5
<PAGE>

Lessee in writing or (ii) in the absence of such agreement as Lessor may
reasonably select by written notice to Lessee on or before the 90th day before
the end of the Lease Term; provided, that (x) with respect to all Units being so
delivered, there shall be no more than ten (10) locations (each of which shall
be located within the Contiguous United States and shall have adequate storage
capacities) and (y) Lessor's notice shall specify the total number and type of
Units to be delivered to each location.

            (c) (i) Unless Lessee shall have purchased the Units pursuant to
Section 22 of this Lease or pursuant to Section 6.9 of the Participation
Agreement, if Lessor shall have elected to store the Units upon the expiration
of the Lease Term with respect thereto, Lessee shall store the Units free of
charge and at the risk and expense of Lessee for a period (the "Storage Period")
beginning, for any particular Storage Location, on the expiration of the Lease
Term for such Units (the "Storage Period Commencement Date") and ending not more
than 120 days after the later of (i) the date of such expiration and (ii) the
date on which such Unit is in compliance with the conditions set forth in
Section 6.2. On or before the 120th day before the end of the Lease Term, Lessor
shall provide Lessee with written notice designating its choices from among the
Storage Locations provided by Lessee pursuant to Section 6.1(a). Any storage
provided by Lessee during the Storage Period shall be at the sole risk and
expense of Lessee, and Lessee shall maintain the insurance required by Section
12.1 with respect to all stored Units. During the Storage Period, Lessee will
permit Lessor or any Persons designated by it, including the authorized
representative or representatives of any prospective purchaser or user of such
Units, to restencil the marks on such Units and to inspect the same during
Lessee's normal business hours upon at least three Business Days' prior written
or telephonic notice; provided, however, that such inspection and restenciling
shall not interfere with the normal conduct of Lessee's business; and provided,
further, that (x) such inspection and restenciling shall be at such Person's own
risk and expense, (y) Lessee shall be indemnified by Lessor against any loss or
damage incurred by it in connection with any such inspection or restenciling by
such Person and (z) Lessee (except in the case of Lessee's gross negligence or
willful misconduct) shall not be liable for any injury to, or the death of, any
person exercising, either on behalf of Lessor or any prospective purchaser or
user, the rights of inspection and restenciling granted pursuant hereto. Lessee
shall not be required to store any Unit after the Storage Period. If Lessee does
store any Unit after the expiration of the Storage Period, such storage shall be
at the sole risk and expense of Lessor.

            (ii) Upon the request and direction of Lessor (and at Lessor's sole
risk and expense), on not more than one occasion with respect to each stored
Unit and upon not less than 15 days' prior written notice from Lessor to Lessee,
Lessee will, on or before the expiration of the Storage Period, transport such
Unit to any railroad interchange point or points within the Contiguous United
States on any railroad lines or to any connecting carrier for shipment (with
appropriate instructions to cause such Unit to be transported to such locations
in the Contiguous United States as Lessor shall direct), whereupon Lessee shall
have no further liability or obligation with respect to such Unit.

            (iii) Upon receipt of Lessor's written notice designating its
choices from among the alternative Storage Locations provided by Lessee under
Section 6.1(a), Lessee shall have the option to instead store such Units at such
Storage Locations as it shall choose in which case the Storage Period shall be
at the sole risk and expense of Lessee for a period of 60 days,

                                       6
<PAGE>

during which period Lessee shall be obligated to insure such Units as provided
in Section 12. Upon receipt of such notice, Lessee will promptly give notice to
Lessor of the locations at which Lessee will store such Units. If Lessee shall
exercise such option, Lessee shall on or before the expiration of the Storage
Period transport the Units to any railroad interchange point or points within
the Contiguous United States on any railroad lines or to any connecting carrier
for shipment (with appropriate instructions to cause such Units to be
transported to such locations designated by Lessor upon not less than 15 days'
prior written notice). The movement of any Unit from such Unit's location as
designated by Lessee pursuant to this Section 6.1(c)(iii) to an interchange
point thereafter designated by Lessor in accordance with the foregoing sentence
will be at the risk and expense of Lessee. During any Storage Period, Lessee
shall store the Units in such manner as the Manager normally stores similar
units of railroad equipment owned or managed by it.

            (d) Upon the latest of (i) expiration of the Lease Term with respect
to a Unit, (ii) tender of such Unit at the location determined in accordance
with Section 6.1(b) or, as applicable, the tender of such Unit for storage in
accordance with Section 6.1(c) and (iii) compliance by such Unit with Section
6.2, this Lease and the obligation to pay Basic Rent for such Unit accruing
subsequent to the expiration of the Lease Term with respect to such Unit shall
terminate.

            (e) In the event any Unit is not (i) returned to Lessor in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6.l(b) on the last day of the Lease
Term with respect thereto, or, if requested by Lessor pursuant to Section
6.1(c), delivered and stored on such last day of the Lease Term, and, in either
case, in the condition specified in Section 6.2 or (ii) deemed automatically
renewed in accordance with the provisions of Section 22.7, the Lease with
respect to such Unit shall continue in effect and Lessee shall pay to Lessor for
each such day from the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term with respect to
such Unit until the date on which such Unit is returned to Lessor in accordance
with the provisions of Section 6.1(b) and in the condition specified in Section
6.2, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the daily
equivalent of the average Basic Rent for the Basic Term or the Renewal Term, as
applicable, to such Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section
6.1(e) shall be construed as permitting or authorizing Lessee to fail to meet,
or be construed as Lessor consenting to or waiving any failure by Lessee to
perform, Lessee's obligation to return the Units in accordance with the
requirements of this Lease. Nothing herein shall be in abrogation of Lessor's
right to terminate this Lease under Section 15 as a result of such failure or to
have such Unit returned to it for possession or storage.

            (f) The assembling, delivery, storage and transporting of the Units
as hereinbefore provided are of the essence of this Lease, and, upon application
to any court of equity having jurisdiction on the premises, the Lessor shall be
entitled to a decree against the Lessee requiring specific performance thereof.
All rent earned in respect of the Units after the date of termination of this
Lease shall belong to the Lessor and, if received by the Lessee, shall be
promptly turned over to the Lessor.

            Section 6.2 Condition of Equipment. Each Unit when returned to
Lessor pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be (i) capable of performing the functions
for which it was designed, with all loading and unloading components operating
in good working order with

                                       7
<PAGE>

allowance for normal wear and tear, (ii) suitable for continued commercial use
in the commodity last carried immediately prior to such return, (iii) suitable
for use in interchange in accordance with then applicable Federal regulations,
the Field Manual of the AAR, the Interchange Rules and FRA rules and
regulations, (iv) in all material respects in the condition required by Section
8.1, (v) in conformance with any requirement pertaining to warranties of the
Manufacturer of the Units during the warranty period then in effect, (vi) empty,
(vii) cleaned in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice, including with
respect to Hazardous Substances and (viii) free and clear of all Liens except
Lessor's Liens. All logs, records, books and other materials, or appropriate
copies of any thereof, relating to the maintenance of such Unit shall be
delivered to Lessor or its designee upon the return of such Unit. Lessor shall
have the right to inspect any Unit that is returned pursuant to Section 6.1 to
ensure that such Unit is in compliance with the conditions set forth in this
Section 6.2, at Lessor's sole cost, expense and risk (including, without
limitation, the risk of personal injury or death), by its authorized
representatives, during Lessee's normal business hours and upon reasonable prior
notice to Lessee; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be liable for any
injury to, or the death of, any Person exercising, on behalf of Lessor, the
rights of inspection granted under this Section 6.2 unless caused by Lessee's
gross negligence or willful misconduct); and provided further that if as a
result of such inspection any Unit is found to be not in compliance with this
Section 6.2, the Lessee will (i) promptly take such steps as are necessary to
bring such Unit in compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 6.2
and (ii) pay the reasonable cost and expense of the original inspection of such
Unit and any reinspection of such Unit conducted by Lessor required because of
such non-compliance with Section 6.2. No inspection pursuant to this Section 6.2
shall interfere with the normal conduct of Lessee's business or the normal
conduct of any Sublessee's business, and Lessee shall not be required to
undertake or incur any additional liabilities in connection therewith. A Unit
shall not be deemed to have been returned for purposes of this Lease unless and
until it is in compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 6.2.

SECTION 7. Liens.

            Lessee will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, permit
or suffer to exist any Lien, including without limitation any Lease or Sublease,
on or with respect to any Unit or Lessee's leasehold interest therein under this
Lease, except Permitted Liens, Lessor's Liens and Liens described in Section
6.4(a) and 6.4(b) of the Participation Agreement. Lessee shall promptly, at its
own expense, take such action or cause such action to be taken as maybe
necessary to duly discharge (or bond to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor
and Indenture Trustee) any such Lien not excepted above if the same shall arise
at any time.

SECTION 8. Maintenance; Possession; Compliance with Laws.

            Section 8.1 Maintenance and Operation. (a) Lessee, at its own cost
and expense, shall maintain, repair and keep each Unit, and cause the Manager
under the Management Agreement to maintain, repair and keep each Unit, (i)
according to Prudent Industry Practice and in all material respects, in good
working order, and in good physical condition for railcars of a similar age and
usage, normal wear and tear excepted, (ii) in a manner in all material respects
consistent with maintenance practices used by the Manager in respect of railcars
owned, leased or managed by the Manager similar in type to such Unit or, with
respect to (A) any Equipment subject to an Existing Equipment Sublease that is a
Net Sublease,

                                       8
<PAGE>

maintenance practices used by the applicable Sublessee in respect of railcars
similar in type to such Unit used by such Sublessee on its domestic routes in
the United States; (provided further, however that after the return to the
Manager of any Unit which was subject to a Net Sublease immediately prior to
such return, such Unit shall be maintained and repaired in all material respects
in a manner consistent with maintenance practices used by the Manager in respect
of railcars owned, leased or managed by the Manager similar in type to such
Unit) and (B) any Permitted Sublease that is a Net Sublease entered into after
the Closing Date where (x) the long term unsecured debt of the applicable
Sublessee is rated at least BBB- by S&P and Baa3 by Moody's (or at least BBB- by
S&P or Baa3 by Moody's if then rated by only one such rating agency) or
similarly rated by any rating agency, (y) the applicable Sublessee is organized
under the laws of the United States or any State thereof and (z) the applicable
Sublessee is the owner or lessee of at least 250 railcars used primarily on
domestic routes in the United States, maintenance practices used by such
Sublessee in respect of railcars similar in type to such Unit, (iii) in
accordance with all manufacturer's warranties in effect but only to the extent
that the lack of compliance therewith would reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the coverage thereunder and in accordance with all applicable provisions,
if any, of insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 12
and (iv) in compliance in all material respects with any applicable laws and
regulations from time to time in effect, including, without limitation, the
Field Manual of the AAR, FRA rules and regulations and Interchange Rules as they
apply to the maintenance and operation of the Units in interchange regardless of
upon whom such applicable laws and regulations are nominally imposed; provided,
however, that, so long as the Manager or, with respect to any Equipment subject
to an Existing Equipment Sublease which is a Net Sublease, the applicable
Sublessee, as applicable, is similarly contesting such law or regulation with
respect to all other similar equipment owned or operated by Manager or, with
respect to any Equipment subject to an Existing Equipment Sublease which is a
Net Sublease, the applicable Sublessee, as applicable, Lessee (or such
Sublessee) may, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently
conducted, contest the validity or application of any such standard, rule or
regulation in any manner that does not (w) materially interfere with the use,
possession, operation or return of any of the Units, (x) materially adversely
affect the rights or interests of Lessor, Policy Provider or the Indenture
Trustee in the Units or hereunder, (y) expose Lessor, Policy Provider or the
Indenture Trustee to criminal sanctions or (z) violate any maintenance
requirements contained in any insurance policy required to be maintained by the
Lessee under this Lease or the Collateral Agency Agreement if such violation
would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the coverage thereunder;
provided further, that Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor, Policy Provider and
Indenture Trustee in reasonable detail of any such contest. In no event shall
Lessee discriminate in any material respect as to the use or maintenance of any
Unit (including the periodicity of maintenance or recordkeeping in respect of
such Unit) as compared to equipment of a similar nature which the Manager owns
or manages. Lessee will maintain all records, logs and other materials required
by relevant industry standards or any governmental authority having jurisdiction
over the Units required to be maintained in respect of any Unit, all as if
Lessee were the owner of such Units, regardless of whether any such
requirements, by their terms, are nominally imposed on Lessee, Lessor or Owner
Participant.

            (b) Without the written waiver or consent of Lessor (which waiver or
consent will not be unreasonably withheld), Lessee shall not change, or permit
any Sublessee to change, a DOT/AAR classification (as provided for in 49 C.F.R.
Part 179 or any successor thereto), or permit any Sublessee to operate any Unit
under a different DOT/AAR classification, from that

                                       9
<PAGE>

classification in effect for such Unit on the Closing Date, except for any
change in tank test pressure rating provided such change does not increase the
pressure rating of the Unit above the tank test pressure to which the Unit was
manufactured; provided however, that in the event Lessor shall not have provided
Lessee with a written waiver or consent to such a reclassification or operation
of any Unit within 10 Business Days after receipt of Lessee's written request
therefor (or Lessor expressly rejects such a request by Lessee), Lessee may
elect to replace such Unit in accordance with and subject to the provisions of
Sections 11.2(a)(i), 11.3 and 11.4.

            (c) Lessor hereby appoints and constitutes Lessee its agent and
attorney-in-fact during the Lease Term to assert and enforce, from time to time,
in the name and for the account of Lessor and Lessee, as their interests may
appear, but in all cases at the sole cost and expense of Lessee, whatever claims
and rights Lessor may have as owner of each Unit against the manufacturers or
any prior owner thereof, and Lessee agrees that it shall and shall cause the
Manager to, assert and enforce all such claims and rights; provided, however,
that if at any time a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, at Lessor's option, such power of attorney shall terminate, and
Lessor may assert and enforce, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, such claims
and rights.

            Section 8.2 Possession and Use. Lessee shall be entitled to the
possession of the Units and to the use of the Units by it or any Affiliate in
the United States and, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 8.2
and Section 8.3, Canada and Mexico, only in the manner for which it was designed
and intended and so as to subject it only to ordinary wear and tear. In no event
shall Lessee use, store or permit the use or storage of any Unit in any
jurisdiction not included in the insurance coverage required by Section 12. The
Units shall be used primarily on domestic routes in the United States, and in no
event shall more than seventeen and one half percent (17.5%) of the Units (as
determined by mileage records and measured annually on a calendar year basis) be
used outside the Contiguous United States; provided, that such maximum
percentage shall be increased to (i) 25% on the sixth anniversary of the date
hereof and (ii) 40% on the ninth anniversary of the date hereof. In addition, in
no event shall more than 30% of the Units, the Other Units and the Pledged Units
in the aggregate (as determined by mileage records and measured at the end of
each calendar quarter for the 12 month period ending on the last day of the
calendar quarter immediately preceding such calendar quarter) be used in Mexico.
Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall be deemed to constitute permission by Lessor
to any Person that acquires possession of any Unit to take any action
inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Lease or any of the other
Operative Agreements.

            Section 8.3 Sublease. Lessee shall be entitled, without the prior
approval of Lessor, to enter into Permitted Subleases.

            A "Permitted Sublease" means each (a) Existing Equipment Sublease
(including any renewal or extension thereof to the extent such renewal or
extension complies with clauses (i), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii)
below) and (b) a sublease, car contract or other agreement granting permission
for the use of a Unit, which sublease, car contract or other agreement meets all
of the following requirements:

            (i) the sublessee or user thereunder is a Permitted Sublessee and,
after giving effect to the entering into of such agreement, the number of Units,
Pledged Units and Other Units

                                       10
<PAGE>

leased or subleased to such sublessee or user and all of its Affiliates, in the
aggregate, does not exceed 10% of the sum of the aggregate number of Units then
subject to this Lease, the aggregate number of Other Units subject to the Other
Leases and the aggregate number of Pledged Units then subject to the Lien of the
Collateral Agency Agreement; provided, that for purposes of this clause (i),
"sublessee" shall mean each Person leasing such Units from the Lessee as well as
each Person subleasing such Units from any other sublessee or other Person.

            (ii) if such agreement permits the sublessee or user thereunder to
further sublease any of the Units subject to such agreement, then such agreement
shall require that any such further sublease be conditioned on (A) the sublessee
obtaining Lessee's (as sublessor) prior consent to such further sublease, (B)
the sublessee agreeing that any such further sublease will have provisions
making it terminable (as to the sub-sublessee) at the request of the Lessor or
Lessee, as applicable, and prohibiting any further subleasing by the
sub-sublessee and will not contain any purchase option in favor of the
sub-sublessee, (C) such agreement providing that no such further sublease shall
relieve the sublessee or user under the sublease from liability thereunder and
(D) the applicable sub-sublessee satisfying the requirements for a "Permitted
Sublessee" set forth below;

            (iii) such agreement was on an arm's length basis with fair market
terms on the date of its execution, and does not require any prepayment of
rental payments throughout the term of such agreement;

            (iv) such agreement does not contain any purchase option in favor of
the sublessee or user thereunder;

            (v) such agreement (or any related consent, acknowledgment of
assignment, side letter or similar written instrument executed by such
sublessee) permits the assignment, pledge, mortgage or other similar disposition
of the lease of the related railcar without notice to or consent by the
sublessee (or, in the case of a written instrument described in the foregoing
parenthetical, any further notice to or consent by the sublessee), it being
understood that the inclusion within such permission or written instrument of
language to the effect that such sublessee consent is conditioned on the
assignees' agreement that it takes its interest in the railcar and/or related
sublease subject to the rights of the sublessee in such railcar under the
sublease, shall not in and of itself be deemed to constitute the sublease as
other than a Permitted Sublease;

            (vi) such agreement contains a legend in bold-faced capitalized
print stating that "This sublease and the railcars subleased hereunder have been
assigned to TRLIII 2003-1C Railcar Statutory Trust by Trinity Rail Leasing Trust
II pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and a Bill of Sale each dated as of
November 12, 2003 and TRLIII 2003-1C Railcar Trust has further assigned this
sublease and such railcars to Wilmington Trust Company, as secured party, in its
capacity as Indenture Trustee under the Trust Indenture and Security Agreement
dated as of November 12, 2003 between TRLIII 2003-1C Railcar Statutory Trust and
Wilmington Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee"; and

            (vii) such agreement does not extend more than two years beyond the
end of the Basic Term (without the prior written consent of the Owner
Participant).

                                       11
<PAGE>

            As used herein, a "Permitted Sublessee" means any of the following:

            (i) a railroad company or companies (that is not a Credit Bankrupt,
         Trinity or any Affiliate of Trinity) organized under the laws of the
         United States of America or any state thereof or the District of
         Columbia, Canada or any province thereof, or Mexico or any state
         thereof, upon lines of railroad owned or operated by such railroad
         company or companies or over which such railroad company or companies
         have trackage rights or rights for operation of their trains, and upon
         connecting and other carriers in the usual interchange of traffic;

            (ii) responsible companies (i.e., a company with which the Manager
         would do business in the ordinary course of its business with respect
         to railcars which it owns or manages) (other than railroad companies,
         Trinity, Affiliates of Trinity or Credit Bankrupts) for use in their
         business; provided, however, that the credit profile of sublessees of
         the Units shall not vary materially from the credit profile of
         sublessees of other railcars owned, leased or managed by the Manager;
         or

            (iii) wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Trinity organized under the laws
         of (x) Canada or any political subdivision thereof or (y) Mexico or any
         political subdivision thereof, in each case so long as such subleases
         are on an arm's length basis;

provided, however, that a Person organized under the laws of Mexico or any state
thereof (a "Mexican Sublessee") shall not constitute a Permitted Sublessee
unless after giving effect to the contemplated sublease to such Mexican
Sublessee, the percentage of Units, Other Units and Pledged Units in the
aggregate (as measured by number of Units, Other Units and Pledged Units and not
mileage records) subleased (or sub-subleased by a sublessee organized under the
laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of
Columbia, Canada or any province thereof to a sub-sublessee organized under the
laws of Mexico or any state thereof, as applicable) to all Mexican Sublessees
does not exceed 15% of the sum of the Units, the Other Units and the Pledged
Units in the aggregate, provided further, that at no time shall more than 10% of
the Units, the Other Units and the Pledged Units, in the aggregate be subleased
(or sub-subleased by a sublessee organized under the laws of the United States
of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, Canada or any
province thereof to a sub-sublessee organized under the laws of Mexico or any
state thereof, as applicable) to Mexican Sublessees, the long term unsecured
debt of which is unrated or rated below BBB- or Baa3, as determined by S&P and
Moody's, as applicable.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lessee or any of
its Affiliates be required to take any action to perfect any security interest
which any Person may have in any Sublease, other than the filing of a UCC-1
Financing Statement against the Partnership in the Partnership's jurisdiction of
formation and/or other similar filings with the STB, the Registrar General of
Canada and any applicable Canadian provinces covering all Subleases generally
and delivery of the original copies of the applicable Subleases in the manner
set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement.

            Lessee will use commercially reasonable efforts to have each
Sublease other than Existing Equipment Subleases be substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2

                                       12
<PAGE>

and contain provisions relating to the requirement that such Sublease be subject
and subordinate to the rights of assignees and/or security interest grantees in
respect thereof. Promptly after the execution of each Sublease, Lessee shall
deliver the original, fully executed counterpart number one of each such
Sublease to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of the
Collateral Agency Agreement or, if the circumstance described in Section 2.5(d)
of the Collateral Agency Agreement shall have occurred, to the custodian
described in such Section 2.5(d).

            No sublease entered into by Lessee hereunder shall relieve Lessee of
any liability or obligation hereunder, which shall be and remain those of a
principal and not a surety. Nothing in this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to
constitute permission to any Person in possession of any Unit pursuant to any
such sublease to take any action inconsistent with the terms and provisions of
this Lease or any of the other Operative Agreements. As used in this Section
8.3, "sublease" as a noun means a sublease, car contract or other contract
granting permission for the use of a Unit and "sublease" as a verb means to
enter into any of the foregoing.

SECTION 9. Modifications.

            Section 9.1 Required Modifications. In the event a Required
Modification to a Unit is required, Lessee agrees to make or cause to be made
such Required Modification at its own expense; provided, however, that Lessee
(or applicable Sublessee) may, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings
diligently conducted, contest the validity or application of any such law,
regulation, requirement or rule in any manner that does not materially interfere
with the use, possession, subleasing, operation, maintenance or return of any
Unit or materially adversely affect the rights or interests of Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee in the Units or Subleases or expose Lessor, Policy Provider or
the Indenture Trustee to criminal sanctions. Title to any Required Modification
shall immediately vest in Lessor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if Lessee determines in its reasonable judgment consistent with
Prudent Industry Practice (as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of Lessee to
such effect, confirmed by an Officer's Certificate of the Manager) that any
Required Modification to a Unit would be economically impractical, in lieu of
making the Required Modification as provided above, Lessee may provide written
notice of such determination to Lessor in such Officer's Certificate and treat
such Unit as if an Event of Loss had occurred as of the date of such written
notice with respect to such Unit and in such event the provisions of Sections
11.2(ii), 11.3 and 11.4 shall apply with respect to such Unit; provided,
however, that Lessee shall not discriminate against such Unit in making such
determination of economic impracticability as compared with other equipment of
the same type and similarly situated that is owned or leased by Lessee or
managed by Manager.

            Section 9.2 Optional Modifications. Lessee at any time may or may
permit a Sublessee to, in its discretion and at its own or such Sublessee's cost
and expense, modify, alter or improve any Unit in a manner which is not required
by Section 9.1 (a "Modification"); provided that no Modification (i) shall
diminish the fair market value, residual value, utility or remaining economic
useful life of such Unit below the fair market value, residual value, utility or
remaining economic useful life thereof immediately prior to such Modification,
in more than a de minimis respect, assuming such Unit was then at least in the
condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease or (ii) cause
such Unit to become "limited use property" within the meaning of Revenue
Procedure 2001-28 or Revenue Procedure 2001-29. Title to any

                                       13
<PAGE>

Non-Severable Modification shall be immediately vested in Lessor. Title to any
Severable Modification (other than Required Modifications) shall remain with
Lessee or the Sublessee as applicable. If Lessee shall at its cost cause such
Severable Modifications (other than Required Modifications) to be made to any
Unit, Lessor shall have the right, upon 90 days prior written notice in the case
of the return of such Unit pursuant to Section 6.1, to purchase any such
Severable Modifications (other than Severable Modifications consisting of
proprietary or communications equipment) title to which is held by Lessee at
their then Fair Market Sales Value (taking into account their actual condition).
If Lessor does not so elect to purchase such Severable Modifications, Lessee may
remove such Severable Modifications at Lessee's cost and expense, and if
requested (which request shall be made by not less than 90 days prior written
notice in the case of a return other than pursuant to Section 15.6) by Lessor
will so remove such Severable Modifications at Lessee's cost and expense, and
Lessee shall, at its expense, repair any damage resulting from the removal of
any such Severable Modifications in a manner consistent with Section 8.1;
provided that such removal shall not (i) diminish the fair market value,
residual value, utility or remaining economic useful life of the Unit to which
such Severable Modifications relate below the fair market value, residual value,
utility or remaining economic useful life thereof immediately prior to the
addition of such Severable Modifications, in more than a de minimis respect,
assuming such Unit was then at least in the condition required to be maintained
by the terms of this Lease or (ii) cause such Unit to become "limited use
property" within the meaning of Revenue Procedure 2001-28 or Revenue Procedure
2001-29. If Lessee has not removed any Severable Modification prior to the
return of the related Unit as provided herein, title to such Severable
Modification shall pass to Lessor as of the date of such return.

            Section 9.3 Removal of Property; Replacements. Lessee may, in the
ordinary course of maintenance or repair of any Unit, remove any item of
property constituting a part of such Unit, and unless the removal of such item
is required by Section 9.1 hereof, Lessee shall replace such item as promptly as
practicable by an item of property that is free and clear of all Liens (other
than Permitted Liens) and in as good operating condition as, and with a fair
market value, residual value, utility and remaining economic useful life at
least equal to, the item of property being replaced, assuming that such replaced
item was in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease;
provided that Lessee may not remove any item if such removal would cause such
Unit to become "limited use property" within the meaning of Revenue Procedure
2001-28 or Revenue Procedure 2001-29. Any item of property removed from such
Unit in the ordinary course of maintenance and repair as provided in the
preceding sentence shall remain the property of Lessor until replaced in
accordance with the terms of such sentence, but shall then, without further act,
become the property of Lessee. Any replacement property which is incorporated
into a Unit in the ordinary course of maintenance and repair shall, without
further act, become the property of Lessor and be deemed part of such Unit for
all purposes hereof.

SECTION 10. Voluntary Termination.

            Section 10.1 Right of Termination. Lessee shall have the right, at
its option at any time or from time to time during the Basic Term on or after
the seventh anniversary of the Basic Term Commencement Date to terminate the
Lease with respect to any or all of the Units (provided that, Lessee shall
exercise such termination hereunder and under the comparable provisions
contained in the Other Leases (i) with respect to at least 100 railcars and,
(ii) the determination as to which Units are subject to termination shall
otherwise be made by Lessee on

                                       14
<PAGE>

a random basis without discrimination based on maintenance status, operating
condition of the Units in question or otherwise) (such Units, the "Terminated
Units") if (x) Lessee determines in good faith (as evidenced by a certified copy
of a resolution adopted by the General Partner's Board of Directors and a
certificate executed by the Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner and
the Chief Financial Officer of the Manager) that such Units have become obsolete
or surplus to Lessee's requirements, (y) Lessor has received (i) an Officer's
Certificate from Lessee and the Manager to the effect that there has been no
discrimination in the selection of the Terminated Units when measured against
the other Units, and that, following the termination of this Lease with respect
to the Terminated Units, the Units remaining subject to this Lease will
constitute a pool of Units which is of a sufficient quantity and quality to
sustain over the remaining Basic Term the Coverage Ratios applicable at the time
of such termination and (ii) a Rating Agency Confirmation and (z) Lessee
delivers at least 120 days' prior notice to Lessor and the Indenture Trustee
specifying a proposed date of termination for such Units (the "Termination
Date"), which date shall be a Rent Payment Date, any such termination to be
effective on the Termination Date upon Lessee's compliance with this Section 10.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, there shall be no
determination that a Unit is surplus or obsolete for purposes of this Lease if,
on the Termination Date, such Unit is subject to a Sublease. Except as expressly
provided otherwise herein, there will be no conditions to Lessee's right to
terminate this Lease with respect to the Terminated Units pursuant to this
Section 10.1. So long as (a) Lessor shall not have given Lessee a notice of
election to retain the Terminated Units in accordance with Section 10.3 or (b)
notice of prepayment of the Equipment Notes shall not have been given pursuant
to Section 2.10 of the Indenture, Lessee may withdraw the termination notice
referred to above at any time prior to the 60th day prior to the scheduled
Termination Date, whereupon this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
with respect to the Terminated Units; provided that Lessee may not exercise its
right to withdraw a termination notice more than once annually or more than four
times during the Basic Term (irrespective of which Units are covered thereby).
Lessee agrees that whether or not it withdraws a termination notice it will
reimburse Lessor, the Policy Provider and the Indenture Trustee for all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) incurred by any thereof in connection with such termination or
proposed termination.

            Section 10.2 Sale of Equipment. During the period from the date of
such notice given pursuant to Section 10.1 to the Termination Date, Lessee, as
non-exclusive agent for Lessor and, except as provided in Section 10.3, at
Lessee's sole cost and expense, shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain bids
from Persons other than Lessee, the Manager or any of their respective
Affiliates for the cash purchase of the Terminated Units, and Lessee shall
promptly, and in any event at least five Business Days prior to the proposed
date of sale, certify to Lessor in writing the amount and terms of each such
bid, the proposed date of such sale and the name and address of the party
submitting such bid. Unless Lessor shall have elected to retain the Terminated
Units in accordance with Section 10.3, on the Termination Date: (i) Lessee shall
deliver the Terminated Units (excluding any optional Severable Modifications
removed by Lessee pursuant to Section 9.2) to the bidder (which shall not be
Lessee or Manager or an Affiliate of Lessee or Manager (for the avoidance of
doubt the bidder may be a Customer, or a customer of the Manager, and neither
the Manager nor any Affiliate shall be prohibited from managing the Units for
such bidder after the purchase by such bidder)) that shall have submitted the
highest cash bid prior to such date (or to such other bidder as Lessee and
Lessor shall agree) and (ii) subject to the prior or concurrent receipt (x) by
Lessor of all amounts owing to Lessor

                                       15
<PAGE>

pursuant to the next sentence and (y) by the Persons entitled thereto of all
unpaid Supplemental Rent due on or before the Termination Date, Lessor shall,
without recourse or warranty (except as to the absence of any Lessor's Lien)
simultaneously therewith transfer all of its right, title and interest in and to
the Terminated Units to such bidder. The net proceeds of sale realized at such
sale shall be paid to Lessor and, in addition, on the Termination Date, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor (A) all Basic Rent with respect to such Terminated Units due
and payable prior to the Termination Date (exclusive of any Basic Rent with
respect to the Terminated Units due on such date), (B) the excess, if any, of
(1) the Termination Amount for the Terminated Units computed as of the
Termination Date over (2) the net cash sales proceeds (after the deduction of
all applicable sales, transfer or similar taxes) of the Terminated Units, (C) an
amount equal to any unpaid Late Payment Interest in respect of any Rent in
respect of the Terminated Units not paid when due (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, Rent corresponding to the principal amount of the Equipment Notes to
be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.10(a) of the Indenture) and (D) all
other Rent in respect of the Terminated Units (exclusive of any Basic Rent on
the Terminated Units due on such date) then due and payable hereunder (which
shall include, without limitation, a portion of the Policy Provider Amounts and
Policy Provider Reimbursement Costs, if any, equal to the product obtained by
multiplying the unpaid Policy Provider Amounts and Policy Provider Reimbursement
Costs by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Equipment Cost of the
Terminated Units and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Equipment
Costs of all Units then subject to this Lease and Late Payment Interest related
thereto), so that, after receipt and application of all such payments, but
without withdrawal from any CAA Accounts other than the applicable Non-Shared
Payments Account, (i) Lessor shall be entitled under the terms of the Collateral
Agency Agreement to receive, and does receive, taking into account all payments
of Basic Rent, in respect of all such Units, the sum of the portion of the
Accumulated Equity Deficiency Amount allocable to the Terminated Units and Late
Payment Interest related thereto and any other amounts then due to Lessor and
(ii) the Policy Provider has received the portion of Policy Provider Amounts and
Policy Provider Reimbursement Costs calculated above. If no sale shall have
occurred, whether as a result of Lessee's failure to pay all of the amounts
hereinabove required or otherwise, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect with respect to such Units and Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor, Policy
Provider and the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by any thereof in
connection therewith. Lessee, in acting as agent for Lessor, shall have no
liability to Lessor for failure to obtain the best price, shall act in its sole
discretion and shall be under no duty to solicit bids publicly or in any
particular market. Owner Participant shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to obtain bids either directly or through agents other than Lessee.

            Section 10.3 Retention of Equipment by Lessor. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.2, Lessor may irrevocably elect by written
notice to Lessee, (with a copy to the Policy Provider) not later than 60 days
after receipt of Lessee's notice of termination, not to sell the Terminated
Units on the Termination Date, whereupon Lessee shall (i) deliver the Terminated
Units to Lessor in the same manner and condition as if delivery were made to
Lessor pursuant to Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.2, and shall extend storage
rights to the same extent as provided in Section 6.1(c), treating the
Termination Date as the termination date of the Lease Term with respect to the
Terminated Units and (ii) pay to Lessor, or to the Persons entitled thereto, all
Basic Rent due and owing on the Termination Date and unpaid (exclusive of any
Basic Rent due on such date in respect of the Terminated Units), any unpaid Late
Payment

                                       16
<PAGE>

Interest in respect of any Rent in respect of the Terminated Units not paid when
due (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Rent corresponding to the principal
amount of the Equipment Notes to be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.10(a)
of the Indenture), and all other Rent in respect of the Terminated Units
(exclusive of any Basic Rent on the Terminated Units due on such date) then due
and payable hereunder (including, without limitation, a portion of the Policy
Provider Amounts and Policy Provider Reimbursement Costs, if any equal to the
product obtained by multiplying the unpaid Policy Provider Amounts and Policy
Provider Reimbursement Costs by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
Equipment Costs of the Terminated Units and the denominator of which shall be
the aggregate Equipment Costs of all Units then subject to this Lease), so that,
after receipt and application of all such payments, but without withdrawal from
any CAA Accounts other than the applicable Non-Shared Payments Account, Lessor
shall be entitled under the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement to receive,
and does receive, taking into account all payments of Basic Rent, in respect of
all such Units, the sum of the portion of the Accumulated Equity Deficiency
Amount allocable to the Terminated Units and Late Payment Interest related
thereto and any other amounts then due to Lessor and the Policy Provider has
received the portion of the Policy Provider Amounts and Policy Provider
Reimbursement Costs calculated above. On any Termination Date where Lessee is
required to make payments pursuant to the preceding sentence, Lessee shall pay
as additional Basic Rent (or Lessor shall pay as a refund of Basic Rent) an
amount equal to the Basic Rent Adjustment (or the absolute value of the negative
Basic Rent Adjustment) set forth on Schedule 4-B to the Participation Agreement
for the relevant Rent Payment Date. Also on such date, Lessor shall pay, or
cause to be paid, to the Indenture Trustee an amount equal to the product
obtained by multiplying the unpaid principal amount of the Equipment Notes
outstanding on such date (after deducting therefrom the principal installment,
if any, to be paid on such date) by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the Equipment Cost of the Terminated Units and the denominator of which shall be
the aggregate Equipment Costs of all Units then subject to this Lease; provided,
that if the Lessor or Owner Participant is the Lessee or an Affiliate of the
Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor such additional amounts as are necessary to
pay in full all Policy Provider Amounts, calculated pursuant to clause (II) of
the definition thereof, and Policy Provider Reimbursement Costs, calculated
pursuant to clause (I) of the definition thereof. Unless all amounts described
above in this Section 10.2 shall have been paid to the Persons entitled thereto
on the Termination Date, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with
respect to the Terminated Units. Lessor agrees that in the event that Lessor
elects to retain (and does retain) the Terminated Units as provided in this
Section 10.3, for a period of one year after payment by Lessor of all amounts
due and owing by Lessor under this Section 10.3, Lessor may not sell or lease
any of such Terminated Units to Lessee or any of its Affiliates. If after giving
the notice referred to above Lessor shall fail to pay the amounts required
pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 10.3 and as a result thereof this
Lease shall not be terminated with respect to the Terminated Units on a proposed
Termination Date, Lessor shall (x) thereafter no longer be entitled to exercise
its election to retain such Terminated Units and (y) reimburse Lessee for any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
incurred by it in attempting to sell the Terminated Units pursuant to Section
10.2 immediately prior to Lessor's exercise of such preemptive election, and
Lessee may at its option at any time thereafter prior to the immediately
following Rent Payment Date submit a new termination notice pursuant to Section
10.1 with respect to such Terminated Units specifying a proposed Termination
Date occurring on a Determination Date occurring not earlier than 25 days from
the date of such notice.

                                       17
<PAGE>

            Section 10.4 Termination of Lease. In the event of either (x) any
such sale and receipt by Lessor and the Indenture Trustee of all of the amounts
provided in Section 10.2 in respect of the Terminated Units or (y) retention of
the Terminated Units and full performance by Lessor and Lessee of their
respective payment obligations in compliance with Section 10.3, and upon
compliance by Lessee with the other provisions of this Section 10, the
obligation of Lessee to pay Basic Rent hereunder for such Terminated Units shall
cease and the Lease Term for the Terminated Units shall end.

SECTION 11. Loss, Destruction Requisition, Etc.

            Section 11.1 Event of Loss. In the event that any Unit (i) shall
suffer damage or contamination which, in Lessee's reasonable judgment (as
evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of Lessee to such effect, confirmed by an
Officer's Certificate of the Manager), makes repair uneconomic or renders such
Unit unfit for commercial use, (ii) shall suffer destruction which constitutes a
total loss, or shall suffer theft or disappearance (after reasonable efforts by
Lessee to locate the same) for a period exceeding 6 months (or, if earlier, the
end of the Basic Term or Renewal Term then in effect), (iii) shall have title
thereto taken or appropriated by any governmental authority, agency or
instrumentality under the power of eminent domain or otherwise, or (iv) shall be
taken or requisitioned for use by any governmental authority or any agency or
instrumentality thereof under the power of eminent domain or otherwise, and such
taking or requisition is for a period that exceeds the shorter of (A) 180 days
and (B) the remaining Basic Term or any Renewal Term then in effect (any such
occurrence being hereinafter called an "Event of Loss"), Lessee, in accordance
with the terms of Section 11.2, shall promptly and fully inform Lessor and the
Indenture Trustee of such Event of Loss.

            Section 11.2 Replacement or Payment upon Event of Loss;
Substitution. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss or the deemed
occurrence of an Event of Loss pursuant to Section 9.1, an election to replace
pursuant to Section 8.1(b) or an election to substitute pursuant to Section
11.2(b), in each case with respect to any Unit (an "Affected Unit"), Lessee
shall within 60 days (or promptly in the case of an Event of Loss described in
clause (iv) of Section 11.1) after a Responsible Officer of the Manager shall
have actual knowledge of the occurrence of such Event of Loss or election to
replace or substitute as provided in Section 11.2(b) give Lessor and the
Indenture Trustee notice thereof (which initial notice shall identify the Unit
involved). Thereafter, within the 60-day (or 30-day period in the case of an
Event of Loss described in clause (iv) of Section 11.1) period following such
initial notice, Lessee shall give Lessor and the Indenture Trustee a second
notice as to which of the following options Lessee shall elect to perform (it
being agreed that, except in the case of an election to replace pursuant to
Section 8.1(b) or an election to substitute pursuant to Section 11.2(b) (in
which case Lessee will comply with the provisions of Section 8.1(b) or 11.2(b)
as applicable), if Lessee shall fail to give such second notice within such
period, Lessee shall be deemed to have elected to perform the option set forth
in Section 11.2(ii)):

            (i) Upon Lessee's election to perform under this clause (i) pursuant
to the above-mentioned second notice (or in the circumstances of an election
described in Section 8.1(b) with respect to any Unit), as promptly as
practicable following such election, and in any event on or before the 60th day
(or 30th day in the case of an Event of Loss described in clause (iv) of Section
11.1) following such second notice (or Section 8.1(b) or 11.2(b) election),
Lessee

                                       18
<PAGE>

shall comply with Section 11.4(b) and shall convey or cause to be conveyed to
Lessor a replacement unit ("Replacement Unit") for each such Affected Unit, with
such Replacement Unit to be leased to Lessee hereunder, such Replacement Unit to
be of the same car type of the same or newer model year (or otherwise approved
by Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and free and
clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens of the type described in clause
(ii) with respect to Permitted Subleases, and in clauses (iv) and (vii) of the
definition thereof) and to have a fair market value (except to a de minimis
extent), residual value, utility, remaining economic useful life and condition
at least equal to the Unit so replaced (assuming such Unit to be replaced was in
the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease) and to be
(as of the date of conveyance) then subject to a currently effective Permitted
Sublease and not to be "limited use property" within the meaning of Revenue
Procedure 2001-28 or Revenue Procedure 2001-29; provided, however, that, if only
railcars of newer age or greater value are available for such replacement,
Lessee may on one occasion re-substitute a railcar with a value closer to or
equal to that of the Unit which originally suffered the Event of Loss or was
replaced; or

            (ii) on the Rent Payment Date which is not less than 25 days nor
more than 60 days following the date of notice of Lessee's election to perform
under this clause (ii), Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid to Lessor (or in
the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Persons entitled thereto) in funds of the
type specified in Section 3.5, (a) an amount equal to the Stipulated Loss Amount
of each such Unit suffering an Event of Loss or deemed Event of Loss determined
as of such Rent Payment Date, (b) all Basic Rent due and owing on such date and
unpaid in respect of such Unit or Units (exclusive of any Basic Rent due on such
date in respect of such Unit or Units), (c) any unpaid Late Payment Interest in
respect of any Rent with respect to such Unit or Units not paid when due
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, Rent corresponding to the principal
amount of the Equipment Notes to be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.10(b)
of the Indenture) and (d) all other Rent in respect of such Unit or Units
(exclusive of any Basic Rent due on such date in respect of the Unit or Units
suffering the Event of Loss) then due and payable hereunder (including, without
limitation, a portion of the Policy Provider Amounts and Policy Provider
Reimbursement Costs, if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying the
unpaid Policy Provider Amounts and Policy Provider Reimbursement Costs by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Equipment Cost of the Terminated
Units and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Equipment Costs of all
Units then subject to this Lease (without duplication of amounts calculated
above) and Late Payment Interest related thereto) so that, after receipt and
application of all such payments, but without withdrawal from any Reserve
Account (or the Special Reserves Account, Bolster Repair Account or Transition
Expense Account, as such terms are defined in the Collateral Agency Agreement),
Lessor shall be entitled under the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement to
receive, and does receive, taking into account all payments of Basic Rent in
respect of such Unit, the sum of the portion of the Accumulated Equity
Deficiency Amount allocable to such Unit or Units and Late Payment Interest
related thereto and any other amounts then due to Lessor and the Policy Provider
has received the portion of Policy Provider Amounts and Policy Provider
Reimbursement Costs calculated above, it being understood that until such
Stipulated Loss Amount and such other sums are paid, there shall be no abatement
or reduction of Basic Rent on account of such Event of Loss.

            (b) (i) In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease,
a Sublessee shall notify the Lessee that it intends to exercise its purchase
option with respect to any Units ("Sublessee Purchased Units"), the Lessee shall
either (I) pay the greater of (x) the proceeds received from the Sublessee in
respect of the purchase of such Units as increased or decreased by any Basic
Rent Adjustment and (y) the applicable Termination Amount (such greater amount,
the "Sublessee Purchased Units Price") plus all other amounts payable in respect
of such Units in accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) of this Section
11.2(b) or (II) substitute a Replacement Unit for each such Sublessee Purchased
Unit in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Sections 11.2(a)(i),
11.3 and 11.4, with such payment or substitution to be made not later than the
date on which the Sublessee Purchased Units are to be conveyed to the applicable
Sublessee.

            (ii) If Lessee elects to pay the Sublessee Purchased Unit Price as
provided in Section 11.2(b)(i)(I), then Lessee shall pay, or cause to be paid,
to the Lessor an amount equal to the Sublessee Purchased Unit Price with respect
to each Sublessee Purchased Unit, which amount shall be paid without withdrawal
from any CAA Account other than the applicable Non-Shared Payments Account.
Concurrently with the payment by Lessee of the foregoing, Lessee shall also pay
to Lessor (1) any unpaid Late Payment Interest in respect of the Sublessee
Purchased Units (including in respect of the principal amount of the Equipment
Notes to be prepaid), together with all Basic Rent then due and payable with
respect to such Units (excluding any Basic Rent due on the date of the payment
of such Sublessee Purchased Unit Price as set forth above) and (2) a portion of
the Policy Provider Amounts and Policy Provider Reimbursement Costs, if any,
equal to the product obtained by multiplying the unpaid Policy Provider Amounts
and Policy Provider Reimbursement Costs by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the Equipment Cost of the Terminated Units and the denominator of which
shall be the aggregate Equipment Costs of all Units then subject to this Lease;
provided, that if the Lessor or Owner Participant is the Lessee or an Affiliate
of the Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor such additional amounts as are
necessary to pay in full all Policy Provider Amounts, calculated pursuant to
clause (II) of the definition thereof, and Policy Provider Reimbursement Costs,
calculated pursuant to clause (I) of the definition thereof.

            (c) The Lessor and the Lessee hereby agree to cooperate in good
faith, and to take such actions as each shall reasonably request, to permit each
to treat the substitution of a Replacement Unit for a Sublessee Purchased Unit
as part of a tax deferred exchange under section 1031 of the Code (an "Exchange
Transaction") including allowing the Exchange Transaction to occur after the
Sublessee's notification of its intention to exercise its purchase option but
prior to the Sublessee's exercise of its purchase option.

            Section 11.3 Rent Termination. Upon the replacement or substitution
of any Unit or Units in compliance with Sections 11.2(a)(i) or 11.4(b) (but only
as to replaced Units and not any Replacement Unit) or upon the payment of all
sums required to be paid pursuant to Section 11.2 in respect of any Unit or
Units, the Lease Term with respect to such Unit or Units and the obligation to
pay Basic Rent for such Unit or Units accruing subsequent to the date of payment
of Stipulated Loss Amount or date of conveyance of such Replacement Unit or
Units pursuant to Section 11.2 shall terminate; provided that Lessee shall be
obligated to pay all Rent in respect of such Unit or Units which is payable
under Section 11.2 with respect to such

                                       20
<PAGE>

payment of Stipulated Loss Amount or such replacement of such Unit or Units and
in respect of all other Units then continuing to remain subject to this Lease.

            Section 11.4 Disposition of Equipment; Replacement of Unit. (a) Upon
the payment of all sums required to be paid pursuant to Section 11.2 in respect
of any Unit or Units, Lessor will convey to Lessee or its designee all right,
title and interest of Lessor in and to such Unit or Units, "as is", "where is",
without recourse or warranty, except for a warranty as to the absence of
Lessor's Liens, and shall execute and deliver to Lessee or its designee, at
Lessee's cost and expense, such bills of sale and other documents and
instruments as Lessee or its designee may reasonably request to evidence such
conveyance. As to each separate Unit so disposed of, Lessor shall (subject to
any insurer's right of subrogation, if any) be entitled to any amounts in excess
of Stipulated Loss Amount arising from such disposition, plus any awards,
insurance or other proceeds and damages received by Lessee, Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee by reason of such Event of Loss.

            (b) At the time of or prior to any replacement or substitution of
any Unit or Replacement Unit, Lessee, at its own expense, will (A) furnish
Lessor with a Bill of Sale with respect to the Replacement Unit substantially in
the form delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(g) of the Participation Agreement,
(B) cause a Lease Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto,
subjecting such Replacement Unit to this Lease, and duly executed by Lessee, to
be delivered to Lessor for execution by the appropriate parties, it being
understood that upon such execution (x) Lessee will cause such Lease Supplement
to be filed for recordation in the same manner as provided for the original
Lease Supplement in Section 16.1 and (y) to the extent that the Indenture has
not been satisfied and discharged, Lessor shall deliver possession of the
"original" counterpart of such Lease Supplement to the Indenture Trustee, (C) so
long as the Indenture shall not have been satisfied and discharged, cause an
Indenture Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Indenture for
such Replacement Unit, to be delivered to Lessor and to the Indenture Trustee
for execution and, upon such execution, to be filed for recordation in the same
manner and within the same time periods as provided for the original Indenture
Supplement in Section 16.1, (D) furnish Lessor with an opinion of Lessee's
counsel (which may be the General Counsel or Assistant General Counsel of
Trinity), (x) to the effect that the Bill of Sale referred to in clause (A)
above constitutes an effective instrument for the conveyance of title to the
Replacement Unit to Lessor, and (y) describing all filings and recordings and
other actions required pursuant to Section 16 with respect to the Replacement
Units, (E) furnish (I) to Owner Participant (and its applicable Affiliates) an
agreement of Lessee to indemnify Owner Participant (and its applicable
Affiliates) against any adverse tax consequences suffered as a result of such
replacement that are not otherwise indemnified under the Tax Indemnity Agreement
and (II) to Lessor an opinion from independent tax counsel selected by Owner
Participant to the effect that Owner Participant will not have any material
adverse tax consequences as a result of such replacement or substitution, (F)
furnish Lessor with an engineer's certificate (which may be from an employee of
the Manager) certifying as to the utility, condition and remaining useful life
required under clause (i) of Section 11.2(a), (G) furnish to Lessor and the
Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying that the Replacement Unit
has a fair market value (except to a de minimis extent), residual value, utility
and remaining economic useful life and condition at least equal to the Unit
being replaced and is free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens of
the type described in clause (ii) with respect to Permitted Subleases, and in
clauses (iv) and (vii) of the definition thereof), (H) furnish

                                       21
<PAGE>

Lessor with an opinion of independent transportation counsel or in-house counsel
for Manager as to the absence of Liens of record with the STB and as to the
completion of all necessary STB filings and deposits with the Registrar General
of Canada described in Section 16.1 hereof with respect to such Replacement Unit
and (I) furnish such other documents and evidence as any Participant, the Policy
Provider, Lessor or the Indenture Trustee, or their respective counsel, may
reasonably request in order to establish the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Section 11.4. In addition, as soon as practicable after any
such replacement or substitution, cause each applicable Unit to be numbered with
the reporting mark shown on the applicable Lease Supplement in accordance with
Section 4.2 hereof. For all purposes hereof, (i) Lessee shall be deemed to have
complied with the requirements of this Section 11.4(b) as of the date of its
delivery to Lessor, the Participants, the Policy Provider and the Indenture
Trustee of the documents and instruments referred to in the foregoing clauses
(A) through (I), signed by Lessee or its counsel, as applicable, in due form for
any required filing or recording, and such filing or recording shall have been
made if such documents and instruments have been executed and delivered by
Lessor or Indenture Trustee or both of them in a timely manner, (ii) title to
the Replacement Unit shall be deemed to have been transferred to Lessor as of
such date and (iii) upon such passage of title thereto to Lessor the Replacement
Unit shall be deemed part of the property leased hereunder and the Replacement
Unit shall be deemed a "Unit" as defined herein. Upon such passage of title,
Lessor will transfer to Lessee, "as is" and "where is" and without recourse or
warranty (except as to Lessor's Liens), all Lessor's right, title and interest
in and to the replaced Unit, and upon such transfer, Lessor will request in
writing that the Indenture Trustee execute and deliver to Lessee an appropriate
instrument releasing such replaced Unit from the lien of the Indenture. Lessee
shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable
legal fees and expenses) incurred by Lessor, Policy Provider or the Indenture
Trustee in connection with any replacement pursuant to this Section 11.4. Lessee
further agrees that, upon receipt of fully signed counterparts of the Lease
Supplement and Indenture Supplement referred to in clauses (B) and, if
applicable, (C) of the first sentence of this Section 11.4(b), it will, at its
sole cost and expense, cause such documents to be filed or recorded in the
manner contemplated by Section 16.1.

            Section 11.5 Eminent Domain. In the event that during the Lease Term
the use of any Unit is requisitioned or taken by any governmental authority
under the power of eminent domain or otherwise for a period which does not
constitute an Event of Loss, all of Lessee's obligations under the Operative
Agreements, including without limitation, Lessee's obligation to pay all
installments of Basic Rent, shall continue for the duration of such
requisitioning or taking. Any amount referred to in Section 11.4(a) or in
Section 12 that is payable to Lessor shall be deposited in the related
Non-Shared Payments Account established under the Collateral Agency Agreement.

SECTION 12. Insurance.

            Section 12.1 Insurance. Lessee will at all times after delivery and
acceptance of each Unit, at its own expense, keep or cause the Insurance Manager
under the Insurance Agreement to keep such Unit insured with insurers of
recognized responsibility with a rating of at least A-/7 by A.M. Best Company
(or a comparable rating by a nationally or internationally recognized rating
group of comparable stature) or by other insurers approved in writing by Lessor,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, in amounts and against risks
and

                                       22
<PAGE>

with deductibles and terms and conditions not less beneficial to the insured
thereunder than the insurance, if any, maintained by the Manager with respect to
similar equipment which it owns or leases, but in no event shall such coverage
be for amounts or against risks less than the Prudent Industry Practice. Without
limiting the foregoing, Lessee will in any event:

            (a) keep each Unit insured against physical damage (which may be
accomplished pursuant to a contingent physical damage policy) in an amount not
less than the Stipulated Loss Amount attributable thereto as shown on Schedule 4
to the Participation Agreement, subject to an aggregate limit for all Units of
not less than $1,500,000 per occurrence, provided, that such coverage may
provide for deductible amounts of not more than $50,000 per occurrence (or
$100,000, in the event that (i) coverage providing for a $50,000 deductible
amount is not then available on commercially reasonable terms or (ii) a
deductible amount of $100,000 is then customary in the railcar leasing industry
with respect to such coverage and in each case the Lessor shall have received
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the foregoing (which may include a
report from an independent insurance advisor chosen by Lessor and reasonably
satisfactory to Lessee); and

            (b) maintain public liability insurance naming Owner Participant,
Lessor, the Trust Company, the Indenture Trustee, the Policy Provider and Loan
Participant as additional insureds (but only with respect to liability arising
out of or related to the Operative Agreements and the Units) against bodily
injury, death or property damage arising out of the use or operation of the
Units with general and excess liability limits of not less than $100,000,000 per
occurrence or in the aggregate, provided that such coverage may provide for
deductible amounts not exceeding the lesser of (w) $10,000,000 or (x) the
difference (not less than zero (0)) between (i) the level of the then current
deductible maintained by Manager for the Manager's Fleet (or if Manager, its
successors and assigns is no longer engaged in the railcar leasing business, the
average level of then current deductible amounts maintained by the three largest
companies engaged in such business in the United States) and (ii) such amount of
additional coverage as may be obtained by Lessee in reduction of the then
current deductible maintained by Manager for an additional incremental annual
premium payable by Lessee in the aggregate in respect of the entire Equipment of
up to $100,000 as adjusted by the Inflation Factor; provided, further, that such
policies which are carried on a "claims made" basis shall provide for a
retroactive date not more recent than either (y) the Closing Date, or (z) a date
seven years prior to the effective date of the policy.

            (c) It is understood and agreed that the insurance required under
this Section 12.1 may be part of a company-wide insurance program of the
Insurance Manager or its Affiliates, including risk-retention and
self-insurance. Any policy of insurance maintained in accordance with this
Section 12.1 and any policy purchased in substitution or replacement for any of
such policies shall provide that if any such insurance lapses or is cancelled or
terminated for any reason whatever (other than upon normal policy expiration),
Lessor, the Indenture Trustee, Loan Participant, the Policy Provider and Owner
Participant shall receive 30 days' prior written notice of such lapse,
cancellation or termination.

            (d) If Lessee or the Insurance Manager shall maintain any liability
coverages for the benefit of Lessee in excess of the coverages required
hereunder (whether or not such excess coverage complies with the requirements
under this Section 12), Lessee will cause all

                                       23
<PAGE>

such coverages to name Owner Participant, Lessor, the Trust Company, the
Indenture Trustee and Loan Participant as additional insureds (but only with
respect to liability arising out of or related to the Operative Agreements or
the Units), provided, however, that the requirements of this Section 12 shall
not otherwise apply to such coverages.

            Section 12.2 Physical Damage Insurance. (a) The insurance maintained
pursuant to Section 12.1(a) shall provide that (i) so long as no Significant
Default shall have occurred and be continuing the proceeds up to $100,000 for
any loss or damage to any Unit shall be paid to Lessee for the purpose of
repairing or restoring such Unit that has been damaged, (ii) so long as the
Equipment Notes remain outstanding, the proceeds in excess of $100,000 for any
loss or damage to any Unit shall be paid to the Indenture Trustee under a
standard loss payable clause, and thereafter to Lessor and (iii) Lessee will be
entitled, at its own expense, to make all proofs of loss and/or take all other
steps necessary to collect the proceeds of such insurance.

            (b) To the extent that the risk of loss with respect to the
applicable Units shall be borne by Persons (other than the Lessee) in possession
or control of such Unit and such other Person shall be obligated to pay a
settlement amount to Lessee in the amount of such loss in respect of such Unit,
the Lessee may, in lieu of maintaining the physical damage insurance required by
Section 12.1(a), self-insure with respect to any Units for such amounts and
against such risks as shall be based upon reasonable practices then in effect in
the railcar leasing and insurance industries.

            (c) The entire proceeds of any property insurance or third party
payments for damages to any Unit received by Lessor or the Indenture Trustee
under Section 12.2(a)(ii) shall be held by such party until, with respect to
such Unit, the repairs referred to in clause (i) below are made as specified
therein or payment of the Stipulated Loss Amount is made, and such entire
proceeds will be paid, so long as no Significant Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, either:

            (i) to Lessee promptly following receipt by the Indenture Trustee or
      Lessor, as the case may be, of a written application signed by Lessee for
      payment to Lessee for repairing or restoring the Units which have been
      damaged so long as (1) Lessee shall have complied with the applicable
      provisions of this Lease, and (2) Lessee shall have certified that any
      damage to such Units shall have been fully repaired or restored; or

            (ii) if this Lease is terminated with respect to such Unit because
      of an Event of Loss and Lessee has paid the Stipulated Loss Amount and all
      other amounts due as a result thereof, such proceeds shall be promptly
      paid over to, or retained by, Lessee.

            Section 12.3 Public Liability Insurance. (a) The public liability
insurance referred to in paragraph 12.1(b) shall (i) provide that in as much as
such policies cover more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring
agreements and endorsements, with the exception of limits of liability,
deductibles or retentions and liability for premiums, commissions, assessments
or calls (which shall be solely a liability of Lessee), shall operate in the
same manner as if there were a separate policy or policies covering each
insured, (ii) waive any rights of subrogation of the insurers against Owner
Participant, Lessor, the Trust Company, the Indenture Trustee, the Policy
Provider and Loan Participant (iii) provide that neither Owner Participant,
Lessor, the

                                       24
<PAGE>

Trust Company, the Policy Provider, the Indenture Trustee nor Loan Participant
shall have any responsibility for any insurance premiums, whether for coverage
before or after cancellation or termination of any such policies as to Lessee
and (iv) be primary without contribution from any similar insurance maintained
by Owner Participant, Lessor, the Trust Company, the Indenture Trustee, the
Policy Provider or Loan Participant.

            (b) Lessee shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain public
liability insurance policies which stipulate that coverage thereunder will not
be invalidated (as to Owner Participant, Loan Participant, Lessor, as Lessor of
the Units and in its individual capacity, and the Indenture Trustee) by any act
or neglect of Lessee, or any breach or violation by Lessee of any warranties,
declarations or conditions contained in such policies, but shall be under no
obligation to obtain such policies containing such stipulations if they are not
available to Lessee at commercially reasonable rates in the markets in which
Lessee has then placed its insurance program.

            (c) In the event any public liability insurance policy or coverage
thereunder which are required to be maintained under Section 12.1(b) shall not
be available to Lessee in the commercial insurance market on commercially
reasonable terms, Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement to waive
such requirement. Lessee shall make written request for any such waiver in
writing, accompanied by written reports prepared, at Lessee's option, either by
(i) one independent insurance advisor chosen by Lessee and Lessor or (ii) three
independent insurance advisors, one chosen by Lessor, one chosen by Lessee and
one chosen by the other two advisors (one of which may be the regular insurance
broker or brokers of Lessee). The fees and expenses of all such advisors shall
be paid by Lessee. The written reports required hereunder shall unanimously (x)
state that such insurance (or the required coverage thereunder) is not
reasonably available to Lessee at commercially reasonable premiums in the
commercial insurance markets within which Lessee or the Manager normally
purchases its insurance from insurers, acceptable to Lessee, with "A.M. Best's"
rating of A- or better for railcars of similar type and capacity and (y) explain
in detail the basis for such conclusions. At any time after the granting of such
waiver, but not more often than once a year, Lessor may make a written request
for a supplemental report (in form reasonably acceptable to Lessor) from such
insurance advisor(s) updating the prior report and reaffirming the conclusions
set forth therein. Lessee shall provide any such required supplemental report
within 60 days after receipt of the written request therefor. Any such waiver
shall be effective for only as long as such insurance is not reasonably
available to Lessee in the commercial markets in which Lessee normally purchases
its insurance at commercially reasonable rates, it being understood that the
failure of Lessee to furnish timely any such supplemental report shall be
conclusive evidence that such condition no longer exists. If such supplemental
report shows that such coverage is available, Lessee shall within 90 days of
such report obtain such insurance coverage. During any period with respect to
which such waiver has been granted and remains in effect under this Section
12.3(c), Lessee shall obtain public liability insurance as set forth in Section
12.1(b) from such carriers, in such amounts and with coverage limits and
deductibles as may be reasonable in its judgment under the circumstances, but in
any event (i) no less than prudent industry standards and (ii) in an amount that
may be purchased for a premium equal to 200% of Lessee's cost (on a fleet-wide
basis) of public liability insurance premiums for the coverage on a fleet-wide
basis required by Section 12.1(b) for the final year immediately preceding the
fiscal year in which such waiver first was granted.

                                       25
<PAGE>

            Section 12.4 Certificate of Insurance. (a) Lessee shall, prior to
the Closing Date and when the renewal certificate referred to below is sent (but
in any event not less than annually), furnish (or, in the case of (ii) below,
use reasonable efforts to furnish) Lessor, the Indenture Trustee, Owner
Participant, the Policy Provider and the Loan Participant with a certificate
signed by the insurer or an independent insurance broker (i) showing the
insurance then maintained by Lessee pursuant to Section 12.1, (ii) stating that,
except as noted in such certificate, such insurance complies with the
requirements hereof (including, without limitation the deductible level
described in Section 12.1(b)) and as set forth in Exhibits B-1 and B-2 to the
Participation Agreement, and (iii) to the extent that any provision that Lessee
is required to use reasonable efforts to obtain is not contained in such
insurance, such certificate shall so state and shall confirm that, in such
broker's opinion, such provision is not reasonably obtainable. Lessor and the
Policy Provider shall each be entitled at its expense to review copies of all
applicable insurance policies. With respect to any renewal policy or policies,
certificates or binders evidencing such renewal shall be furnished as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after the earlier of the date
such renewal is effected or the expiration date of the original policy or
policies. Simultaneously, with the furnishing of such certificate, Lessee will
provide appropriate evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, the Policy
Provider and the Indenture Trustee, that all premiums due on such insurance have
been paid.

            (b) Lessee agrees to use reasonable efforts to cause each of its
insurers to agree that, with respect to any policy of insurance maintained
pursuant to Section 12.1, such insurer will provide not less than 30 days' prior
written notice to Lessor, the Indenture Trustee, the Policy Provider, Loan
Participant and Owner Participant of any non-renewal or material adverse change
with respect to such policy. For purposes of this Section 12.4(b), "material
adverse change" shall mean a material adverse change in policy limits,
exclusions or deductibles or any material adverse change in policy coverage
inconsistent with the requirements of Section 12.1(b). If any of Lessee's
insurers delivers such notice of non-renewal, Owner Participant and Policy
Provider may attempt to obtain and provide satisfactory insurance and Lessee
shall reimburse Owner Participant and Policy Provider for reasonable expenses
incurred (i) during the period 10 days prior to expiration of existing insurance
policies, for all Owner Participant's expenses excluding broker fees and
commissions and insurance premiums, and (ii) on and after the expiration of
existing insurance policies, for all Owner Participant's expenses including
broker fees and commissions and insurance premiums.

            Section 12.5 Additional Insurance. In the event that Lessee shall
fail to maintain insurance as herein provided in Section 12.1 or, if applicable,
Section 12.3, Lessor or Policy Provider may at its option, upon prior written
notice to Lessee, provide such insurance and, in such event, Lessee shall, upon
demand from time to time reimburse Lessor for the cost thereof together with
interest from the date of payment thereof at the Late Rate, on the amount of the
cost to Lessor of such insurance which Lessee shall have failed to maintain. If
after Lessor has provided such insurance, Lessee then obtains the coverage
provided for in Section 12.1 which was replaced by the insurance provided by
Lessor, and Lessee provides Lessor with evidence of such coverage reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor, Lessor shall cancel the insurance it has provided
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 12.5. In such event, Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor for all costs to Lessor of cancellation, including without
limitation any short rate penalty, together with interest from the date of
Lessor's payment thereof at the Late Rate. In addition, at any time Lessor
(either directly or in the name of Owner Participant) may at its own

                                       26
<PAGE>

expense carry insurance with respect to its interest in the Units, provided that
such insurance does not interfere with Lessee's ability to insure the Units as
required by this Section 12 or adversely affect Lessee's insurance or the cost
thereof, it being understood that all salvage rights to each Unit shall remain
with Lessee's insurers at all times. Any insurance payments received from
policies maintained by Lessor pursuant to the previous sentence shall be
retained by Lessor without reducing or otherwise affecting Lessee's obligations
hereunder, other than with respect to Unit(s) with respect to which such
payments have been made.

            Section 12.6 Post-Lease Term Insurance. Lessee agrees that upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Lessee will, with respect
to the public liability insurance otherwise required to be carried under this
Section 12, either: (A) purchase a seven year extended reporting period for
Owner Participant, Lessor and Owner Trustee, or (B) obtain the written agreement
of the Manager in form and substance satisfactory to Owner Participant to carry
or cause to be carried for such seven year period public liability insurance
which satisfies the requirements of this Section 12 and which names Owner
Participant, Lessor, the Collateral Agent and Owner Trustee as additional
insureds.

SECTION 13. Reports; Inspection.

            Section 13.1 Duty of Lessee to Furnish. On or before April 30, 2004
(or December 31, 2004 with respect to clause (c) below), and on or before each
April 30 (or each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, with respect
to clause (c) below) thereafter, Lessee will furnish (or cause the Manager under
the Management Agreement to furnish) to Lessor, Owner Participant, Loan
Participant, the Indenture Trustee, Policy Provider and the Rating Agency an
accurate statement, as of the preceding December 31 (or, as of the end of the
preceding calendar quarter with respect to clause (c) below), (a) showing the
amount, description and reporting marks of the Units then leased hereunder, the
amount, description and reporting marks of all Units that may have suffered an
Event of Loss during the 12 months ending on such December 31 (or since the
Closing Date, in the case of the first such statement), and such other
information regarding the condition or repair of the Units as Lessor, Collateral
Agent or Policy Provider may reasonably request, (b) stating that, in the case
of all Units repainted during the period covered by such statement, the markings
required by Section 4.2 hereof shall have been preserved or replaced, (c)
showing the percentage of use in the United States and in each of Canada and
Mexico based on the total mileage traveled by the Units and the Other Units for
the prior calendar quarter as reported to the Manager by railroads (provided,
that Lessee shall cooperate with Owner Participant and Lessor and shall provide
such additional information on such matters as Owner Participant or Lessor may
reasonably request to enable Owner Participant and Lessor to pursue or fulfill
their respective tax audit and tax litigation rights and obligations) and (d)
stating that Lessee is not aware of any condition of any Unit which would cause
such Unit not to comply in any material respect with the rules and regulations
of the FRA and the interchange rules of the Field Manual of the AAR as they
apply to the maintenance and operation of the Units in interchange and any other
requirements hereunder. Lessee will provide Lessor and Policy Provider with
prompt notice, but in any event within 30 days of (i) any legal proceeding
relating to any Unit or Pledged Unit, alleging that Lessee is liable for an
amount in excess of $5,000,000 or that Lessor, the Owner Participant, the
Indenture Trustee or the Policy Provider is alleged to be liable for an amount
in excess of $100,000, (ii) actual knowledge of or receipt of written notice
alleging that any Unit or Pledged Unit (or group of Units or Pledged

Units) violates any environmental law where the aggregate cost of placing such

likely to exceed $100,000 or (iii) actual knowledge of or receipt of written
notice of any incident involving any Unit or Pledged Unit alleging personal
injury or property damage (including damage to the environment) including costs
of remediation, in excess of $1,000,000.

            Section 13.2 Inspection. (a) Each of the Lessor (and as assignee of
certain of Lessor's rights hereunder, the Control Party) and the Owner
Participant, together with the agents, representatives, accountants and legal
and other advisors of each of the foregoing (collectively, the "Inspection
Representatives"), shall have the right to (i) conduct a field examination of
the Units and the Pledged Units (each such inspection, a "Unit Inspection"),
(ii) (x) inspect all documents (the "Related Documents"), including, without
limitation, all leases, insurance policies, warranties or other agreements,
relating to the Units, the Pledged Units and the other Collateral (each such
inspection, a "Related Document Inspection") and (y) inspect each of the
Lessee's and the Manager's books, records and databases (which shall include
reasonable access to Lessee's and the Manager's computers and computer records
to the extent necessary to evaluate compliance with the Operative Agreements)
(collectively, the "Books and Records") with respect to the Units, the Pledged
Units and the other Collateral and the Related Documents (including without
limitation data supporting all reporting requirements under the Operative
Agreements) (each such inspection, a "Book and Records Inspection") and (iii)
discuss (x) the affairs, finances and accounts of the Lessee (with respect to
itself) and the Manager (with respect to itself and the Lessee) and (y) the
Units, the Pledged Units and the other Collateral, the Related Documents and the
Books and Records, in each case with the principal executive officer and the
principal financial officer of each of the Lessee and the Manager, as applicable
(the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) a "Company Inspection") (the Unit
Inspections, the Related Documents Inspections, the Books and Records
Inspections and the Company Inspections described in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii), collectively, the "Inspections").

            (b) All Inspections shall be conducted upon reasonable request and
notice to Lessee (with respect to itself) and the Manager (with respect to
itself and the Lessee) and shall (a) be conducted during normal business hours,
(b) be subject to Lessee's and the Manager's customary security procedures, if
any, and (c) not unreasonably disrupt Lessee's or the Manager's business.

            (c) Each of the Lessor (and, as assignee of certain of Lessor's
rights hereunder, the Control Party) and the Owner Participant (together with
their respective Inspection Representatives) shall have the right to conduct
(independent of any inspection rights of any other party) (i) (x) one Unit
Inspection per calendar year at the sole cost and expense of the Lessor, Control
Party or Owner Participant, respectively (as applicable), and (y) one Related
Documents Inspection, one Books and Records Inspection and one Company

the Owner Participant, one additional Related Documents Inspection, Books and
Records Inspection and Company Inspection per calendar year for the calendar
year ending December 31, 2004 and the calendar year ending December 31, 2005, in
each case at the sole cost and expense of Lessor, the Control Party or Owner
Participant, respectively (as applicable) (including the reasonable legal and
accounting fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor, Control Party or the
Owner Participant, as applicable, and their respective Inspection
Representatives, as applicable) (each

                                       28
<PAGE>

such Inspection described in clauses (x) and (y), an "Ordinary Inspection" and
collectively, "Ordinary Inspections"); provided, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessee shall pay for or reimburse the Control Party (which amounts
shall constitute Supplemental Rent hereunder) for inspection costs incurred by
or on behalf of the Control Party pursuant to this paragraph (c).

            (d) If in connection with or as a result of any Ordinary Inspection,
Lessor, the Control Party or the Owner Participant, as applicable, determines,
in its reasonable discretion, that an Inspection Issue (as defined below) has
occurred, then Lessor, the Control Party or the Owner Participant, as
applicable, shall have the right, to (i) collect from Lessee the costs and
expenses of such Ordinary Inspection and (ii) conduct any type and number of
additional Inspections from time to time (each, an "Additional Inspection" and
collectively, "Additional Inspections") to confirm satisfactory resolution, in
the reasonable business judgment of the Lessor, Control Party or the Owner
Participant, as applicable, of any such Inspection Issues identified in such
Ordinary Inspection or Interim Inspection, or in any Additional Inspection in
connection therewith. All such Additional Inspections shall be at the sole cost
and expense of Lessee (including the reasonable legal and accounting fees, costs
and expenses incurred by Lessor, the Control Party or Owner Participant, as
applicable, and their respective Inspection Representatives). For the purposes
of this Section 13.2, "Inspection Issue" means (x) any material misstatement or
omission of fact in or with respect to the Units, the Pledged Units, the Related
Documents or the Company Inspections or (y) a determination, in its reasonable
business judgment, by Lessor, the Control Party or the Owner Participant, as
applicable, that the Related Documents or Books and Records are incomplete or
inaccurate in any material respect.

            Without prejudice to the right to conduct Inspections, Lessor, the
Control Party and the Owner Participant shall confer with a view toward
coordinating their conduct with respect to the Inspections in order to minimize
the costs thereof and business disruption attendant thereto.

            Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, during the occurrence and
continuance of a Lease Event of Default, (i) there shall be no limit on the type
and number of Inspections that can be undertaken by Lessor, the Control Party or
the Owner Participant, as applicable, and their respective Inspection
Representatives and (ii) all costs and expenses of any Inspection shall be at
the sole cost and expense of the Lessee (including the reasonable legal and
accounting fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Control Party and the Owner
Participant, together with their respective Inspection Representatives).

SECTION 14. Lease Events of Default.

            The following events shall constitute Lease Events of Default
hereunder (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come
about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with
any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of
any administrative or governmental body) and each such Lease Event of Default
shall be deemed to exist and continue so long as, but only as long as, it shall
not have been remedied:

            (a) Lessee shall fail to (i) make or (ii) be deemed by virtue of the
last sentence of Section 3.5 hereof to have made any payment of Basic Rent,
Early Purchase Price, any other

                                       29
<PAGE>

purchase price to be paid by Lessee for any Units pursuant to this Lease or the
Participation Agreement, Stipulated Loss Amount or Termination Amount (x) in the
case of any such payment that is required to be made on the Basic Term
Expiration Date or on any date within 30 days before the Basic Term Expiration
Date, when due, and (y) in the case of any other such payment, within 10
Business Days after the same shall have become due; provided, however, that so
long as any Equipment Notes remain outstanding, failure to make (or be deemed to
have made) any portion of Basic Rent on any Rent Payment Date shall not be a
Lease Event of Default so long as the amounts applied under Section 3.4, clause
(4), of the Collateral Agency Agreement are sufficient to make the distributions
required under such clause (4) with respect to the obligations owed under this
Lease; provided, further, that in the event that the Special Equity Buy-Out has
been consummated, failure to make any payment of Basic Rent, Early Purchase
Price, any other purchase price to be paid by Lessee for any Units pursuant to
this Lease or the Participation Agreement, Stipulated Loss Amount or Termination
Amount (to the extent such amount constitutes an Accumulated Equity Deficiency
Amount to be applied under Section 3.4, clause 9 of the Collateral Agency
Agreement) shall, after receipt by Lessee of written notice of such failure from
Lessor or Owner Participant, be a Lease Event of Default; or

            (b) Lessee shall fail to (i) make or (ii) be deemed by virtue of
payments made by the Collateral Agent to have made any payment of Supplemental
Rent, including indemnity or tax indemnity payments, but not including
Stipulated Loss Amount, Termination Amount, Early Purchase Price, or any other
purchase price to be paid by Lessee for any Units pursuant to this Lease or the
Participation Agreement (x) in the case of any such payment that is required to
be on the Basic Term Expiration Date or on any date within 30 days before the
Basic Term Expiration Date, when due, and (y) in the case of any other such
payment, after the same shall have become due and such failure shall continue
unremedied for 30 days after receipt by Lessee of written notice of such failure
from Lessor, Policy Provider, Owner Participant or the Indenture Trustee;
provided, however, that so long as any Equipment Notes remain outstanding,
failure to make (or be deemed to have made) payment of any of the amounts
referred to in or to be applied pursuant to clauses (5) through (15) of Section
3.4 of the Collateral Agency Agreement shall not be a Lease Event of Default; or

            (c) Lessee shall fail to maintain in effect the insurance required
by Section 12 or Section 6.4 of the Collateral Agency Agreement and such failure
shall not have been waived as provided for therein; or

            (d) Lessee shall use or permit the use of the Units or the Pledged
Units or any portion thereof in a way which is not permitted by this Lease (with
respect to the Units) or the Collateral Agency Agreement (with respect to the
Pledged Units), provided that such unauthorized use shall not constitute a Lease
Event of Default for a period of 45 days after Lessee's obtaining actual
knowledge thereof so long as (i) such unauthorized use is not the result of any
willful action of Lessee and (ii) such unauthorized use is capable of being
cured and Lessee diligently pursues such cure throughout such 45-day period; or
Lessee shall make or permit any unauthorized assignment or transfer of this
Lease in violation of Section 18.2; or

            (e) TILC (or any successor thereto in its capacity as Administrator
or Servicer, as applicable) shall have defaulted in any material respect in the
performance of any of its obligations under the Administrative Services
Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or a

                                       30
<PAGE>

default shall occur under Section 6(a) of the Account Administration Agreement,
and, in each case, Lessee shall have failed to exercise its rights thereunder in
respect of such default for a period of 30 days after receipt by Lessee of
written notice from Lessor, Owner Participant, Policy Provider or the Indenture
Trustee, demanding that such action be taken; or

            (f) Any representation or warranty made by Lessee in any Lessee
Agreement or any representation or warranty made by TILC in any Operative
Agreement to which any such Person is a party, in each case, other than the Tax
Indemnity Agreement, is untrue or incorrect in any material respect as of the
date of making thereof and such untruth or incorrectness shall continue to be
material and unremedied for a period of 30 days after receipt of notice from
Lessor, Owner Participant, Indenture Trustee or the Policy Provider; provided
that, if such untruth or incorrectness is capable of being remedied, no such
untruth or incorrectness shall constitute a Lease Event of Default hereunder for
a period of 120 days after receipt of notice from Lessor, Owner Participant, the
Indenture Trustee or the Policy Provider so long as Lessee, TILC or TRMI, as the
case may be, is diligently proceeding to remedy such untruth or incorrectness
and shall in fact remedy such untruth or incorrectness within such period;
provided that such untrue or incorrect representation or warranty shall be
deemed to be remediable or remedied only after all adverse consequences thereof
if any, can be and have been remedied as applicable; or

            (g) Lessee or the General Partner shall (i) commence a voluntary
case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief
with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law now or hereafter in effect, or seeking the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any
substantial part of its property, or (ii) consent to any such relief or to the
appointment of or taking possession by any such official in any voluntary case
or other proceeding commenced against it, or (iii) admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they come due, or (iv) make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (v) take any corporate or
partnership action to authorize any of the foregoing; or

            (h) An involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced
against Lessee or the General Partner seeking liquidation, reorganization or
other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or seeking the appointment of a
trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any
substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding
shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

            (i) Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any other of the
covenants or agreements to be observed or performed by Lessee under any Lessee
Agreement or any certificate and such failure shall continue unremedied for 30
days after notice from Lessor, Owner Participant, Policy Provider or the
Indenture Trustee to Lessee, specifying the failure and demanding the same to be
remedied; provided that, if such failure is capable of being remedied, and the
remedy requires an action other than, or in addition to, the payment of money,
no such failure (other than one relating to the payment of such money) shall
constitute a Lease Event of Default hereunder for a period of 150 days after
receipt of such notice so long as Lessee is diligently proceeding to remedy such
failure and shall in fact remedy such failure within such period; or

                                       31
<PAGE>

            (j) A Manager Default shall have occurred and be continuing under
the Management Agreement, and Lessee shall have failed to exercise its rights
under the Management Agreement in respect of such Manager Default for a period
of 30 days after receipt by Lessee of written notice from Lessor, Owner
Participant or the Indenture Trustee demanding that such action be taken; or

            (k) An Insurance Manager Default shall have occurred and be
continuing under the Insurance Agreement, and Lessee shall have failed to
exercise its rights under the Insurance Agreement in respect of such Insurance
Manager Default for a period of 30 days after receipt by Lessee of written
notice from Lessor, Owner Participant or the Indenture Trustee demanding that
such action be taken; or

            (l) The Lessee shall have defaulted in any material respect in the
performance of any of its covenants and agreements contained in Section 2.8(b)
of the Collateral Agency Agreement and such default shall continue unremedied
for a period of 30 days; or

            (m) An amount equal to the Additional Liquidity Reserve Amount shall
not have been deposited into the Liquidity Reserve Account either (i) pursuant
to Section 3.4 of Collateral Agency Agreement (without withdrawal from the Cash
Trapping Account) or (ii) as a result of a direct capital contribution by TILC
or an Affiliate thereof (other than the Lessee) within ninety (90) days after
the occurrence of an Additional Liquidity Reserve Trigger.

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
any failure of Lessee to perform or observe any covenant or agreement herein
shall not constitute a Lease Event of Default if such failure is caused solely
by reason of an event which constitutes an "Event of Loss" so long as Lessee is
continuing to comply with the applicable terms of Section 11.

SECTION 15. Remedies.

            Section 15.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Lease Event of
Default and at any time thereafter so long as the same shall be continuing,
Lessor may, at its option, declare this Lease to be in default by a written
notice to Lessee (except that this Lease shall, without any action on the part
of Lessor, be automatically deemed to have been declared in default upon the
occurrence of a Lease Event of Default described in Section 14(g) or (h)); and
at any time thereafter, unless Lessee shall have remedied all outstanding Lease
Events of Default prior to the commencement of the exercise by Lessor of any of
its remedies hereunder, Lessor may do one or more of the following as Lessor in
its sole discretion shall elect, to the extent permitted by, and subject to
compliance with any mandatory requirements of, applicable law then in effect:

            (a) proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or
in equity, to enforce performance by Lessee of the applicable covenants of this
Lease or to recover damages for the breach thereof,

            (b) by notice in writing to Lessee, Lessor may demand that Lessee,
and Lessee shall, upon written demand of Lessor and at Lessee's expense (but
subject to the rights of any Sublessee which has been granted the right of quiet
enjoyment of the Unit by Lessee pursuant to a Sublease, so long as no event of
default by the Sublessee shall have occurred and

                                       32
<PAGE>

be continuing under the relevant Sublease), (i) forthwith return all or any part
of the Units so demanded to Lessor or its order in the manner and condition
required by, and otherwise in accordance with all of the provisions of, Section
15.5; or Lessor with or without notice or judicial process may by its agents
enter upon the premises of Lessee or other premises where any of the Units may
be located and take possession of and remove all or any of the Units , and
Lessor may use and employ in connection with such removal any services, aids,
equipment, trackage and other facilities of Lessee as is reasonably required to
remove such Units and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same free from any
right of Lessee, or its successor or assigns, to use such Units for any purpose
whatever and (ii) with respect to any Unit which is then subject to a Sublease,
assign all of Lessee's right, title and interest in such Sublease to Lessor (to
the extent such Sublease has not been previously assigned to Lessor);

            (c) sell any Unit and/or assign any Sublease at public or private
sale in such manner as Lessor may determine, free and clear of any rights of
Lessee (but subject to the rights of any Sublessee which has been granted the
right of quiet enjoyment of the Unit by Lessee pursuant to a Sublease, so long
as no event of default by the Sublessee shall have occurred and be continuing
under the relevant Sublease) and without any duty to account to Lessee or any
Sublessee with respect to such sale or for the proceeds thereof (except to the
extent required by paragraph (f) below if Lessor elects to exercise its rights
under said paragraph), in which event Lessee's obligation to pay Basic Rent with
respect to such Unit hereunder due for any periods subsequent to the date of
such sale shall terminate (except to the extent that Basic Rent is to be
included in computations under paragraph (e) or (f) below if Lessor elects to
exercise its rights under either of said paragraphs);

            (d) (i) deliver notice under Section 5.2 and exercise all rights of
the "lessor" under the Subleases, including without limitation the right to
direct the applicable Sublessees to make rental payments to such account or
accounts as Lessor may specify, and (ii) hold, keep idle or lease to others any
Unit not then subject to a Sublease as Lessor in its sole discretion may
determine, free and clear of any rights of Lessee and without any duty to
account to Lessee or any Sublessee with respect to such action or inaction or
for any proceeds with respect thereto, except that Lessee's obligation to pay
Basic Rent with respect to such Unit due for any periods subsequent to the date
upon which Lessee shall have been deprived of possession and use of such Unit
pursuant to this Section 15 shall be reduced by the net proceeds, if any,
received by Lessor from leasing such Unit to any Person other than Lessee;

            (e) whether or not Lessor shall have exercised, or shall thereafter
at any time exercise, any of its rights under paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d)
above or (g) below with respect to any Unit, Lessor, by written notice to Lessee
specifying a payment date (which date shall be a Determination Date for the
purposes of computing Stipulated Loss Amount) which shall be not less than 10
days after the date of such notice, may demand that Lessee pay to Lessor, and
Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the payment date specified in such notice, as
liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the
Basic Rent for such Unit due after the payment date specified in such notice),
all Rent, other than Stipulated Loss Amount and Termination Amount or amounts
calculated by reference thereto, due and payable, or accrued, in respect of such
Unit as of the payment date specified in such notice (exclusive of any Basic
Rent due on such date) plus whichever of the following amounts Lessor, in its
sole discretion, shall specify in such notice: (i) an amount with respect to
each such Unit which represents the excess

                                       33
<PAGE>

of the present value, as of such payment date, of all rentals for such Unit
which would otherwise have accrued hereunder from such payment date for the
remainder of the Basic Term or any Renewal Term then in effect over the then
present value of the then Fair Market Rental Value of such Unit (taking into
account its actual condition) for such period discounted from the end of such
Term to such payment date, such present value to be computed in each case using
a per annum discount rate equal to the Debt Rate, compounded monthly from the
respective dates upon which rentals would have been payable hereunder had this
Lease not been terminated; or (ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
Stipulated Loss Amount for such Unit computed as of the payment date specified
in such notice over the Fair Market Sales Value of such Unit (taking into
account its actual condition) as of the payment date specified in such notice;
or (iii) if Lessor shall not have sold such Unit pursuant to the exercise of its
rights under paragraph (c) above with respect to such Unit, an amount equal to
the Stipulated Loss Amount for such Unit computed as of the payment date
specified in such notice as of the payment date specified in such notice; and
upon payment by Lessee pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 15.1(e) of such
Stipulated Loss Amount, any Late Payment Premium and of all other amounts (other
than Basic Rent due on such date) payable by Lessee under this Lease and under
the other Operative Agreements, including without limitation, all Policy
Provider Amounts and Policy Provider Reimbursement Costs in respect of such
Unit, Lessor shall transfer "as is" and "where is" and without recourse or
warranty all right, title and interest of Lessor in and to such Unit to Lessee
or as it may direct, and Lessor shall execute and deliver such documents
evidencing such transfer as Lessee shall reasonably request;

            (f) if Lessor shall have sold any Unit pursuant to paragraph (c)
above, Lessor, in lieu of exercising its rights under paragraph (e) above with
respect to such Unit may, if it shall so elect, demand that Lessee pay to
Lessor, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as liquidated damages for loss of a
bargain and not as a penalty (in lieu of the Basic Rent for such Unit due
subsequent to the Rent Payment Date next preceding such sale), any accrued and
unpaid Rent for such Unit as of the date of such sale (Basic Rent for this
purpose accruing at a per diem rate equal to the monthly amount due on the next
following Rent Payment Date divided by 30) (exclusive of any Basic Rent due on
such date), plus the amount, if any, by which the Stipulated Loss Amount of such
Unit computed as of the Rent Payment Date next preceding the date of such sale
or, if such sale occurs on a Rent Payment Date, then computed as of such Rent
Payment Date, plus the amount of any Late Payment Premium, exceeds the net
proceeds of such sale (taking into account for this purpose all costs and
expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred by Lessor in connection
with such sale or otherwise exercising remedies hereunder) plus interest on such
excess from the date of such sale to the date of payment at the Late Rate; and

            (g) (i) Lessor may terminate this Lease with respect to all of the
Units, (ii) Lessor may terminate the leasing of any or all Units under any
Sublease (subject to the provisions of any applicable Sublease and subject to
Section 8 of the Participation Agreement) and/or (iii) Lessor may exercise any
other right or remedy that may be available to it under applicable law.

            In addition, Lessee shall be liable, except as otherwise provided
above, for any and all unpaid Rent due hereunder before or during the exercise
of any of the foregoing remedies (including, without limitation, Late Payment
Interest, but exclusive of any Basic Rent due on

                                       34
<PAGE>

such date), and for legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Lessor,
Indenture Trustee and Policy Provider by reason of the occurrence of any Lease
Event of Default or the exercise of Lessor's remedies with respect thereto,
including without limitation the repayment in full of any costs and expenses
necessary to be expended in repairing any Unit in order to cause it to be in
compliance with all maintenance and regulatory standards imposed by this Lease.

            In the event Lessor terminates this Lease pursuant to any provision
of this Section 15.1, and the Stipulated Loss Amount is not payable, the amounts
otherwise payable by Lessee hereunder shall be increased by any positive amount
(as a payment for accrued but unpaid Basic Rent) of the Basic Rent Adjustment
set forth on Schedule 4-A of the Participation Agreement opposite the relevant
Rent Payment Date and Lessor shall pay to Lessee an amount equal to the absolute
value of any negative amount (as a rebate of prepaid Basic Rent) of the Basic
Rent Adjustment set forth on Schedule 4-A of the Participation Agreement
opposite the relevant Rent Payment Date; provided, however, that to the extent
that such payment or refund does not precisely reflect the difference between
Basic Rent allocated and Basic Rent paid as of the date Basic Rent ceases to
accrue, the amounts due hereunder shall be further adjusted to ensure that the
aggregate amount of Basic Rent paid equals the aggregate amount of Basic Rent
allocated as of the date Basic Rent ceases to accrue.

            In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuation of a
Lease Event of Default, Lessee will pay or reimburse Lessor and its assignees
(including the Indenture Trustee, the Pass Through Trustee and the Policy
Provider) for all of their respective costs and expenses (including reasonable
costs and expenses of counsel and other professionals) incurred in connection
with (i) the enforcement, defense or preservation of any rights in respect of
this Lease and the other Operative Agreements, including, without limitation,
any insolvency proceeding of Lessee or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) the
negotiation of any restructuring or "work-out", whether or not consummated, of
any obligations under, or transactions contemplated by, this Lease and the other
Operative Agreements.

            Section 15.2 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies in this Lease
provided in favor of Lessor shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to all other remedies in its favor existing
at law or in equity.

            Lessee hereby waives any mandatory requirements of law, now or
hereafter in effect, which might limit or modify any of the remedies herein
provided, to the extent that such waiver is permitted by law. Lessee hereby
waives any and all existing or future claims of any right to assert any offset
or counterclaim against the Rent payments due hereunder, and agrees to make the
rent payments regardless of any offset or counterclaim or claim which may be
asserted by Lessee on its behalf in connection with the lease of the Units.
Lessee further agrees that Lessee's obligations to pay all Rent (including,
without limitation, all Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent) and its obligations to
maintain the Units pursuant to Section 8 hereof and to maintain the insurance
pursuant to Section 12 hereof shall constitute monetary obligations of Lessee
for all purposes of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, Lessee hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred by
statute or otherwise that may require Lessor to sell, lease or otherwise use the
Units in mitigation of Lessor's damages as set forth in Section 15.1 or that may
otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights and remedies provided in this
Section 15.

                                       35
<PAGE>

            Section 15.3 No Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right,
power or remedy accruing to Lessor upon any breach or default by Lessee under
this Lease shall impair any such right, power or remedy of Lessor, nor shall any
such delay or omission be construed as a waiver of any breach or default, or of
any similar breach or default hereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of a
single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

            Section 15.4 Notice of Lease Default. Lessee agrees to furnish to
Lessor, Policy Provider, Owner Participant and the Indenture Trustee, promptly
upon any officer acquiring actual knowledge of any condition which constituted
or constitutes a Lease Default under this Lease, written notice specifying such
condition and the nature and status thereof.

            Section 15.5 Lessee's Duty to Return Equipment Upon Default. If
Lessor or any assignee of Lessor shall terminate this Lease with respect to any
Units pursuant to this Section 15 and shall have provided to Lessee the written
demand specified in Section 15.1(b) with respect to such Units, Lessee shall
forthwith deliver possession of the Units not then subject to a Sublease to
Lessor (except where Lessor has received all amounts payable by Lessee pursuant
to any notice provided by Lessor under Section 15.1(e)(iii)). For the purpose of
delivering possession of any Unit not then subject to a Sublease to Lessor as
above required, Lessee shall at its own cost, expense and risk (except as
hereinafter stated):

            (a) forthwith place such Units upon such storage tracks of Lessee or
any of its Affiliates or, at the expense of Lessee, on any other storage tracks,
as Lessor may designate or, in the absence of such designation, as Lessee may
select;

            (b) permit Lessor to store such Units on such tracks without charge
for insurance, rent or storage until such Units have been sold, leased or
otherwise disposed of by Lessor and during such period of storage Lessee shall
continue to maintain all insurance required by Section 12.1 hereof; and

            (c) transport the Units to any place on any lines of railroad or to
any connection carrier for shipment, all as Lessor may direct in writing. All
such Units not then subject to a Sublease returned shall be in the condition
required by Section 6.2 hereof.

            All amounts earned in respect of the Units after the date of
termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 15, but not exceeding amounts
actually received therefor, shall be paid to Lessor or, so long as the Indenture
shall not have been discharged pursuant to its terms, the Indenture Trustee,
and, if received by Lessee, shall be promptly turned over to Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee as aforesaid. In the event any Unit not then subject to a
Sublease is not assembled, delivered and stored as hereinabove provided within
15 days after the termination of the leasing of such Unit pursuant to Section
15, Lessee shall, in addition, pay to Lessor or the Indenture Trustee as
aforesaid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each day thereafter an
amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the daily equivalent of the average
Basic Rent for the term in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the
Lease for such Unit exceeds the amount, if any, received by Lessor or the
Indenture Trustee as aforesaid (either directly or from Lessee) for such day for
such Unit pursuant to the preceding sentence.

            Section 15.6 Specific Performance; Lessor Appointed Lessee's Agent.
The assembling, delivery, storage and transporting of the Units not then subject
to a Sublease as provided in Section 15.5 are of the essence of this Lease, and
upon application to any court of equity having jurisdiction in the premises,
Lessor shall be entitled to a decree against Lessee requiring specific
performance of the covenants of Lessee so to assemble, deliver, store and
transport the Units not then subject to a Sublease. Without in any way limiting
the obligation of Lessee under the provisions of Section 15.5, Lessee hereby
irrevocably appoints Lessor as the agent and attorney of Lessee, with full power
and authority, at any time while Lessee is obligated to deliver possession of
any Units not than subject to a Sublease to Lessor pursuant to this Section 15,
to demand and take possession of such Unit in the name and on behalf of Lessee
from whosoever shall be at the time in possession of such Unit.

SECTION 16. Filings; Further Assurances.

appropriate jurisdictions as reasonably requested by Lessor naming Lessor as

foregoing, in no event shall Lessee or any of its Affiliates be required to take
any action to perfect any security interest which any Person may have in any
Sublease, other than the filing of a UCC-1 Financing Statement against the
Partnership in the Partnership's jurisdiction of formation and/or other similar
filings with the STB, the Registrar General of Canada and any applicable
Canadian provinces covering all Subleases generally and delivery of original
copies of the applicable Subleases in the manner set forth in the Collateral

deliver to Lessor such further documents and assurances and take such further
action as Lessor may from time to time reasonably request or as may be required
by applicable law or regulation in order to effectively carry out the intent and
propose of this Lease and to establish and protect the rights and remedies
created or intended to be created in favor of Lessor, the Participants, the
Policy Provider and the Indenture Trustee hereunder, including, without
limitation, the execution and delivery of supplements or amendments hereto, in
recordable form, subjecting to this Lease any Replacement Unit and the recording

                                       37
<PAGE>

Lessor may from time to time deem advisable; provided, that in no event shall
Lessee or any of its Affiliates be required to take any action to perfect, any
security interest which any Person may have in any Sublease, other than the
filing of a UCC-1 Financing Statement against the Partnership in the
Partnership's jurisdiction of formation and/or other similar filings with the
STB, the Registrar General of Canada and any applicable Canadian provinces
covering all Subleases generally and delivery of original copies of the
applicable Subleases in the manner set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement.

            Section 16.3 Other Filings. If, at any time after the Closing Date
and during the Lease Term, Mexico, or one or more states in Mexico, establishes
a state or other system for filing and perfecting the ownership and/or security
interests of entities such as Lessor and/or the Indenture Trustee, at the time
that Lessee or the Manager takes such action with respect to other equipment
similar to the Units (whether owned or leased by Lessee) and also upon the
request of Lessor, any Participant, or the Indenture Trustee, Lessee shall cause
any and all of the Operative Agreements to be recorded with or under such system
and shall cause all other filings and recordings and all such other action
required under such system to be effected and taken, in order to perfect and
protect the respective right, title and interests of Lessor, Owner Participant,
Loan Participant and the Indenture Trustee; provided, that in no event shall
Lessee or any of its Affiliates be required to take any action to perfect any
security interest which any Person may have in any Sublease.

            Section 16.4 Expenses. Lessee will pay all costs, charges and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incident to any such filing,
refiling, recording and rerecording or depositing and re-depositing of any such
instruments or incident to the taking of such action.

SECTION 17. Lessor's Right to Perform.

            If Lessee fails to make any payment required to be made by it
hereunder or fails to perform or comply with any of its other agreements
contained herein, Lessor may itself make such payment or perform or comply with
such agreement, after giving not less than five Business Days' prior notice
thereof to Lessee (except in the event that an Indenture Default resulting from
a Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, in which event Lessor may effect such payment, performance or
compliance to the extent necessary to cure such Indenture Default with notice
given concurrently with such payment, performance or compliance), but shall not
be obligated hereunder to do so, and the amount of such payment and of the
reasonable expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with such payment or the
performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together
with interest thereon at the Late Rate from such date of payment, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, shad be deemed to be Supplemental Rent, payable by
Lessee to Lessor on demand.

SECTION 18. Assignment.

            Section 18 Assignment by Lessor. Lessee and Lessor hereby confirm
and acknowledge that concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease,
Lessor has executed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee the Indenture, which,
among other things, assigns as collateral security and grants a security
interest in favor of the Indenture Trustee in, to

                                       38
<PAGE>

and under all right, title and interest of Lessor in and to this Lease and
certain of the Rent payable hereunder (excluding Excepted Property), all
Equipment and all Subleases, all as more explicitly set forth in the Indenture.
Lessee acknowledges the Indenture Trustee's rights under the Indenture including
without limitation, the right of the Indenture Trustee to receive from the
Lessee copies of all notices, certificates, reports, filings, opinions of
counsel and other documents and all information which Lessee is permitted or
required to give or furnish to Lessor pursuant to this Lease. Lessor agrees that
it shall not otherwise assign or convey its right, title and interest in and to
this Lease or any Unit, nor amend, modify or waive any provision of this Lease,
in each case, except as expressly permitted by and subject to the provisions of
the Participation Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Indenture.

            Section 18.2 Assignment by Lessee. Except in the case of any
requisition for use by any governmental authority or any agency or
instrumentality thereof referred to in Section 11.1, Lessee will not, except as
expressly permitted in the Operative Agreements, without the prior written
consent of Lessor and the Indenture Trustee, assign any of its rights hereunder.

            Section 18.3 Sublessee's or Others Performance and Rights. Any
obligation imposed on Lessee in this Lease shall require only that Lessee
perform or cause to be performed such obligation, even if stated herein as a
direct obligation, and the performance of any such obligation by the Manager
under the Management Agreement, the Insurance Manager under the Insurance
Agreement, the Administrator under the Administrative Services Agreement or any
Sublessee under a Sublease then in effect and permitted by the terms of this
Lease shall constitute performance by Lessee and discharge such obligation by
Lessee. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any right granted to
Lessee in this Lease shall grant Lessee the right to (a) exercise such right or
permit such right to be exercised by the Manager or the Insurance Manager or (b)
in Lessee's capacity as sublessor pursuant to any Permitted Sublease permit any
Sublessee to exercise substantially equivalent rights under any such sublease as
are granted to Lessee under this Lease; provided, however, that Lessee's right
to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 10 and Lessee's purchase and renewal
options set forth in Section 22 may be exercised only by Lessee; provided,
further, that nothing in this Section 18.3 shall or shall be deemed to (i)
create any privity of contract between any such Sublessee, on the one hand, and
any of Lessor, Owner Participant or any subsequent transferee or Affiliate of
any such Person, on the other hand, (ii) create any duty or other liability of
any nature whatsoever on the part of any of Lessor, Owner Participant or any
subsequent transferee or Affiliate of any such Person, to any such Sublessee or
any Affiliate thereof or (iii) modify or waive any term or provision of Section
8.3 hereof, which Section 8.3 shall control if any conflict arises between any
of the provisions thereof and this Section 18.3, or (iv) shall relieve Lessee of
any liability or obligation hereunder. The inclusion of specific references to
obligations or rights of any such Sublessee in certain provisions of this Lease
shall not in any way prevent or diminish the application of the provisions of
the two sentences immediately preceding with respect to obligations or rights in
respect of which specific reference to any such Sublessee has not been made in
this Lease.

SECTION 19. Net Lease, Etc.

            (a) This Lease is a net lease and Lessee's obligation to pay all
Rent payable hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and
shall not be affected by any circumstance of any character including, without
limitation, (i) any set-off, abatement,

                                       39
<PAGE>

counterclaim, suspension, recoupment, reduction, rescission, defense or other
right that Lessee may have against Lessor, Owner Participant, the Indenture
Trustee or any holder of an Equipment Note or Pass Through Certificate, any
vendor or manufacturer of any Unit, or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (ii) any defect in or failure of title, merchantability, condition,
design, compliance with specifications, operation or fitness for use of all or
any part of any Unit, (iii) any damage to, or removal, abandonment, requisition,
taking, condemnation, loss, theft or destruction of all or any part of any Unit
or any interference, interruption, restriction, curtailment or cessation in the
use or possession of any Unit by Lessee or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever or of whatever duration, (iv) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding by or against Lessee, Lessor, Owner
Participant, the Indenture Trustee, Loan Participant, any holder of an Equipment
Note or Pass Through Certificate or any other Person (and no payment of any Rent
hereunder shall be considered paid or applied to the extent that, at any time,
all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of
law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any
reason), (v) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of this Lease, any
other Operative Agreement, or any other instrument referred to herein or therein
or any other infirmity herein or therein or any lack of right, power or
authority of Lessee, Lessor, Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, any
holder of an Equipment Note or Pass Through Certificate or any other Person to
enter into this Lease or any other Operative Agreement or to perform the
obligations hereunder or thereunder or consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby or any doctrine of force majeure, impossibility, frustration
or failure of consideration, (vi) the breach or failure of any warranty or
representation made in this Lease or any other Operative Agreement by Lessee,
Lessor, Owner Participant, Loan Participant, the Indenture Trustee, any holder
of an Equipment Note or Pass Through Certificate or any other Person, (vii) the
requisitioning, seizure or other taking of title to or use of such Unit by any
government or governmental authority or otherwise, whether or not by reason of
any act or omission of Lessor, Lessee or the Indenture Trustee, or any other
deprivation or limitation of use of such Unit in any respect or for any length
of time, whether or not resulting from accident and whether or not without fault
on the part of Lessee or (viii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Lessee hereby waives any and all rights which it may now have or
which at any time hereafter may be conferred upon it, by statute or otherwise,
to terminate, cancel, quit or surrender this Lease with respect to any Unit,
except in accordance with the express terms hereof. If for any reason whatsoever
this Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part by operation of law or
otherwise, except as specifically provided herein, Lessee nonetheless agrees, to
the maximum extent permitted by law, to pay to Lessor or to the Indenture
Trustee, as the case may be, an amount equal to each installment of Basic Rent
and all Supplemental Rent due and owing, at the time such payment would have
become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof had this Lease not
been terminated in whole or in part. Each payment of Rent made by Lessee
hereunder shall be final and Lessee shall not seek or have any right to recover
all or any part of such payment from Lessor or any Person for any reason
whatsoever. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to waive any claim which
Lessee might have under any of the Operative Agreements or otherwise or to limit
the right of Lessee to make any claim it might have against Lessor or any other
Person or to pursue such claim in such manner as Lessee shall deem appropriate.

SECTION 21. Concerning the Indenture Trustee.

            Section 21.1 Limitation of the Indenture Trustee's Liabilities.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the
Operative Agreements, the Indenture Trustee's obligation to take or refrain from
taking any actions, or to use its discretion (including, but not limited to, the
giving or withholding of consent or approval and the exercise of any rights or
remedies under such Operative Agreements), and any liability therefor, shall, in
addition to any other limitations provided herein or in the other Operative
Agreements, be limited by the provisions of the Indenture, including, but not
limited to, Article VI thereof.

            Section 21.2 Right, Title and Interest of the Indenture Trustee
Under Lease. It is understood and agreed that the right, title and interest of
the Indenture Trustee in, to and under this Lease and the Rent due and to become
due hereunder shall by the express terms granting and conveying the same be
subject to the interest of Lessee in and to the Units as created pursuant to and
governed by the terms of this Lease.

SECTION 22. Purchase Options; Renewal Option.

            Section 22.1 Early Purchase Option. In addition to the option
granted Lessee pursuant to Section 6.9 of the Participation Agreement and
provided that Lessee shall have duly given the notice required by the next
succeeding sentence, Lessee shall have the right and, upon the giving of such
notice, the obligation to purchase all but not less than all of the Units leased
hereunder on the Early Purchase Date for such Units at a price equal to the
Early Purchase Price of such Units plus the other amounts specified below.
Lessee shall give Lessor written notice not less than 360 days but not more than
720 days prior to the Early Purchase Date of its election to exercise the
purchase option provided for in this Section 22.1, which notice shall be

                                       42
<PAGE>

irrevocable. Payment of the Early Purchase Price, together with (w) all unpaid
Basic Rent due and payable prior to such Early Purchase Date, (x) any Late
Payment Interest with respect any Rent not paid when due (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, Rent corresponding to the principal amount of the Equipment
Notes), (y) any other Supplemental Rent due and owing by Lessee under the
Operative Agreements, including without limitation, all Policy Provider Amounts
then due and owing (so that, after receipt and application of all such payments,
but without withdrawal from any CAA Account, (a) Owner Participant shall be
entitled under the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement to receive, and does
receive, taking into account all payments of Basic Rent in respect of the Units,
the sum of the Accumulated Equity Deficiency Amount and Late Payment Interest
related thereto and any other amounts then due to Owner Participant and (b) the
Policy Provider shall be entitled under the terms of the Collateral Agency
Agreement to receive, and does receive, all Policy Provider Amounts and all
Policy Provider Reimbursement Costs then due and owing (together with, if the
Owner Trustee or Owner Participant is the Lessee or an Affiliate of the Lessee,
such additional amounts as are necessary to pay in full all outstanding Policy
Provider Amounts, calculated pursuant to clause (II) of the definition thereof,
and Policy Provider Reimbursement Costs, calculated pursuant to clause (I) of
the definition thereof)), shall be made on the Early Purchase Date at the place
of payment specified in Section 3.5 hereof in immediately available funds
against delivery of a bill of sale transferring and assigning to Lessee all
right, title and interest of Lessor in and to such Units on an "as-is"
"where-is" basis and containing a warranty as to the absence of Lessor's Liens.
Lessor shall not be required to make any other representation or warranty as to
the condition of such Units or any other matters, and may specifically disclaim
any such representations or warranties. The costs of preparing the bill of sale
and all other documentation relating to any purchase by Lessee pursuant to this
Section 22.1 and the costs of all necessary filings relating to such purchase
and transfer and sales taxes will be borne by Lessee. In the event of any such
purchase and receipt by Lessor of all of the amounts provided in this Section
22.1, the obligation of Lessee to pay Basic Rent hereunder in respect of the
applicable Units shall cease and the Lease Team shall terminate with respect
thereto.

            If Lessee elects to exercise the purchase option provided for in
this Section 22.1, Lessee shall, as the purchase price therefor, in the sole
discretion of Lessee, either (i) pay the Early Purchase Price, together with all
other amounts due and owing by Lessee under the Operative Agreements, as
specified in the paragraph above or (ii) pay the difference between the amount
specified in clause (i) and the outstanding principal amount of the Equipment
Notes as of the Early Purchase Date and assume on a full recourse basis all of
the Owner Trustee's obligations under the Indenture as provided in Section 3.6
of the Indenture; provided, that, following such assumption, the purchased Units
shall remain subject to the Lien of a separate indenture similar to the
Indenture pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Indenture. Lessee will make the
payments required by foregoing clause (i) or assume the indebtedness evidenced
by the Equipment Notes as provided in foregoing clause (ii) on the Early
Purchase Date in immediately available funds against delivery of a bill of sale
transferring and assigning to Lessee all right, title and interest of Lessor in
and to the Units on an "as-is" "where-is" basis and containing a warranty as to
the absence of Lessor's Liens. If Lessee shall fail to fulfill its obligations
under this second paragraph of Section 22.1, all of Lessee's obligations under
this Lease and the Operative Agreements, including, without limitation, Lessee's
obligation to pay installments of Rent, shall continue and Lessee shall be
obligated to pay all costs and expenses, including legal

                                       43
<PAGE>

fees and expenses, incurred by Lessor, Owner Participant, Policy Provider and
Indenture Trustee as a result of the notice given by Lessee pursuant to this
Section.

            If Lessee exercises its Early Purchase Option and the Basic Rent
Adjustment is negative and Lessee pays all other amounts due in relation to such
exercise, then Lessee shall pay an amount equal to the Early Purchase Price less
the absolute value of the amount of such Basic Rent Adjustment listed on
Schedule 6 to the Participation Agreement in respect of the purchased Units (as
a rebate of Basic Rent and not as a reduction in the applicable Early Purchase
Price). If Lessee exercises the Early Purchase Option and the Basic Rent
Adjustment is positive, Lessee shall pay an amount equal to the Early Purchase
Price plus the Basic Rent Adjustment in respect of such purchased Units (as a
payment of additional Basic Rent).

            Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 22.1 to the
contrary, Lessee may purchase or cause an Affiliate of Lessee to purchase the
Beneficial Interest in lieu of Lessee purchasing the Units pursuant to this
Section 22.1 for a purchase price equal to the Beneficial Interest Purchase
Price and may keep this Lease (and the Equipment Notes) in place; provided, that
Lessee shall remain liable under this Lease to pay Basic Rent and all other
payments hereunder in full, provided, further, that such purchase shall be made
in all respects in accordance with Section 6.9 of the Participation Agreement.

            Section 22.2 Election to Retain or Return Equipment at End of Basic
or Renewal Term. Not less than 360 days and not more than 720 days prior to the
end of the Basic Term or the Renewal Term, Lessee shall give Lessor notice of
its decision to return or retain the Units (it being understood that at the end
of the Basic Term or the Renewal Term Lessee must return all of such Units or
retain all of such Units at the end of the Basic Term or the Renewal Term). If
Lessee elects to retain Units, Lessee shall comply with Section 22.3 and/or 22.4
hereof, as it may elect in accordance with the provisions thereof including the
notice requirements stated therein. If Lessee fails to give the 360 days' notice
required by this Section 22.2, or a subsequent notice required by Section 22.3
or 22.4, Lessee shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected to return all of the
Units at the end of the Basic Term or the Renewal Term, as the case may be, in
accordance with Section 6.

            Section 22.3 Purchase Option. Provided that Lessee shall have duly
given the notice required by Section 22.2 and by the next succeeding sentence of
this Section 22.3, Lessee shall have the right and, upon the giving of such
notice under this Section 22.3, the obligation to purchase all of the Units at a
price equal to the greater of (i) Fair Market Sales Value of such Units and (ii)
$6,876,188.00, at the expiration of the Basic Term, or, if a Renewal Term is
then in effect, at the end of such Renewal Term at a price equal to the Fair
Market Sales Value of such Units, plus all other amounts due and owing by Lessee
under the Operative Agreements, including, without limitation, Late Payment
Interest and any unpaid Rent (so that, after receipt and application of all such
payments, but so long as the Policy remains in effect without withdrawal from
any Reserve Account (or the Special Reserves Account, Bolster Repair Account or
Transition Expense Account, as such terms are defined in the Collateral Agency
Agreement), Owner Participant shall be entitled under the terms of the
Collateral Agency Agreement to receive, and does receive, taking into account
all Basic Rent payments in respect of the Units, the sum of the Accumulated
Equity Deficiency Amount and Late Payment Interest related thereto and any other
amounts then due to Owner Participant) and all then unpaid Policy

                                       44
<PAGE>

Provider Amounts and, without duplication, all then unpaid Policy Provider
Reimbursement Costs, in each case under this Lease and under each of the Other
Leases). Lessee shall give Lessor written notice not less than 360 days and not
more than 720 days prior to the end of the Basic Term or the Renewal Term, as
the case may be, of its election to exercise the purchase option provided for in
this Section 22.3, which notice shall be irrevocable. Payment of the purchase
price, together with all other amounts due and owing by Lessee under the
Operative Agreements (including, without limitation, all then unpaid Policy
Provider Amounts and, without duplication, all then unpaid Policy Provider
Reimbursement Costs, in each under this Lease and under each of the Other
Leases) shall be made at the place of payment specified in Section 3.5 hereof in
immediately available funds against delivery of a bill of sale transferring and
assigning to Lessee all right, title and interest of Lessor in and to such Units
on an "as-is" "where-is" basis and containing a warranty as to the absence of
Lessor's Liens. Lessor shall not be required to make any other representation or
warranty as to the condition of such Units or any other matters, and may
specifically disclaim any such representations or warranties.

            Section 22.4 Renewal Option. Provided no Lease Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and Lessee shall have duly given the
notice required by Section 22.2 and Lessee has not exercised its option to
purchase the Units pursuant to Section 22.3, Lessee shall have the right and,
upon the giving of a notice under this Section 22.4 as below provided, the
obligation to lease pursuant to this Lease all (but not less than all) of the
Units at the expiration of the Basic Term. Lessee may exercise this renewal
option by giving Lessor written notice not less than 360 days and not more than
720 days prior to the end of the Basic Term that Lessee elects to renew this
Lease with respect to the Units then leased hereunder. Such renewal shall be for
a renewal term of two years. The Basic Rent for each Unit during the Renewal
Term (the "Renewal Rent") shall be the greater of (a) $286,507.83, payable
monthly in arrears and (b) the Fair Market Rental Value determined as of the
commencement of the Renewal Term. The Renewal Term shall commence immediately
upon the expiration of the Basic Term.

            Section 22.5 Rent Appraisal, Outside Renewal Date. Promptly
following Lessee's irrevocable written notice pursuant to Section 22.2 of its
election to retain Units at the end of the Basic Term or the Renewal Term (and,
in any event, if it is anticipated that there will be any Extended Units at the
end of the Basic Term), Lessor and Lessee shall determine (a) if Lessee shall
have exercised the purchase option under Section 22.3, the Fair Market Sales
Value of the applicable Units as of the end of the then existing Basic Term or
Renewal Term, as applicable, in each case assuming such Units are at least in
the condition required by this Lease, and (b) if Lessee shall have exercised its
renewal option pursuant to Section 22.4, the Fair Market Rental Value of the
applicable Units as of the end of the Basic Term assuming such Units are at
least in the condition required by this Lease.

            Section 22.6 Stipulated Loss Amount and Termination Amount During
Renewal Term. All of the provisions of this Lease, other than Section 10, shall
be applicable during any Renewal Term for such Units, except as specified in the
next sentence. During the Renewal Term, the Stipulated Loss Amount and
Termination Amount of any Unit shall be determined on the basis of the Fair
Market Sales Value of such Unit as of the first day of the Renewal Term, reduced
in equal monthly increments to the Fair Market Sales Value of such Unit as of
the last day of the Renewal Term; provided that in no event during any Renewal
Term shall the

                                       45
<PAGE>

Stipulated Loss Amount and Termination Amount of any Unit be less than 20% of
the Equipment Cost of such Unit.

SECTION 23. Limitation of Lessor's Liability.

            It is expressly agreed and understood that all representations,
warranties and undertakings of Lessor hereunder (except as expressly provided
herein) shall be binding upon Lessor only in its capacity as Owner Trustee under
the Trust Agreement and in no case shall the Trust Company be personally liable
for or on account of any statements, representations, warranties, covenants or
obligations stated to be those of Lessor hereunder, except that the Trust
Company shall be personally liable for its gross negligence or willful
misconduct and for its breach of its covenants, representations and warranties
contained herein to the extent covenanted or made in its individual capacity.

SECTION 24. Investment of Security Funds.

            Any moneys received by Lessor or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
Section 12.2 which are required to be paid to Lessee after completion of repairs
to be made pursuant to Section 12.2 or pursuant to Section 11.4(a) or 11.5, as
the case may be, shall be paid directly to the appropriate Non-Shared Payments
Account established under the Collateral Agency Agreement.

SECTION 25. Miscellaneous.

            Section 25.1 Governing Law; Severability. THIS LEASE SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN
SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). Whenever possible, each
provision of this Lease shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Lease shall be
prohibited by or invalid under the laws of any jurisdiction, such provision, as
to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Lease in any other jurisdiction.

            Section 25.2 Execution in Counterparts. This Lease may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each executed counterpart constituting an
original and in each case such counterparts shall constitute but one and the
same instrument; provided, however, that to the extent that this Lease
constitutes chattel paper (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial
Code) no security interest in this Lease may be created through the transfer or
possession of any counterpart hereof other than the counterpart bearing the
receipt therefor executed by the Indenture Trustee on the signature page hereof,
which counterpart shall constitute the only "original" hereof for purposes of
the Uniform Commercial Code.

            Section 25.3 Headings and Table of Contents; Section References. The
headings of the sections of this Lease and the Table of Contents are inserted
for purposes of convenience only and shall not be construed to affect the
meaning or construction of any of the

                                       46
<PAGE>

provisions hereof. All references herein to numbered sections, unless otherwise
indicated, are to sections of this Lease.

            Section 25.4 Successors and Assigns. This Lease shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the parties
hereto and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

            Section 25.5 True Lease. It is the intent of the parties to this
Lease that it will be a true lease and not a "conditional sale", that Lessor
shall at all times be considered to be the owner of each Unit which is the
subject of this Lease for the purposes of all federal, state, city and local
taxes, that this Lease conveys to Lessee no right, title or interest in any Unit
except as lessee and that the Lease will be a finance lease under the provisions
of Article 2A of the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Nothing contained in this
Section 25.5 shall be construed to limit Lessee's use or operation of any Unit
or constitute a representation, warranty or covenant by Lessee as to tax
consequences.

            The parties hereto hereby agree that Lessee's obligation to make
payments of the type described in the definition of "Excepted Property" is a
separate and independent obligation from its obligation to make other Rent
payments, and that Lessee's obligation to make payments of the type described in
the definition of "Excepted Property" may be independently enforced and may be
assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred separately from Lessee's obligations
to make other Rent payments. The obligation to make such payments has been
included herein for the convenience of the parties.

            Section 25.6 Amendments and Waivers. Subject to and in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture, no term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Lease may be terminated, amended or compliance therewith waived (either
generally or in a particular instance, retroactively or prospectively) except by
an instrument or instruments in writing executed by each party hereto.

            Section 25.7 Survival. All warranties, representations, indemnities,
payment obligations (including without limitation, the obligations of the Lessee
to pay Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent), covenants and agreements made by
either party hereto, herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered
by such party or on the behalf' of any such party under this Lease, shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other party hereto and shall survive
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby on the Closing Date
regardless of any investigation made by either such party or on behalf of either
such party, and to the extent having accrued and not been paid, having been
required to be performed and not having been performed or relating to or
otherwise arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Agreements during the Lease Term, shall survive the expiration or
other termination of this Lease or any other Operative Agreement.

            Section 25.8 Business Days. If any payment is to be made hereunder
or any action is to be taken hereunder on any date that is not a Business Day,
such payment or action otherwise required to be made or taken on such date shall
be made or taken on the immediately succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if made or taken on such scheduled date and as to any payment
(provided any such payment is made on such succeeding Business

                                       47
<PAGE>

Day) no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment from and after such
scheduled date to the time of such payment on such next succeeding Business Day.

            Section 25.9 Directly or Indirectly; Performance by Managers. Where
any provision in this Lease refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which
such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable
whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. In this
regard, it is understood and agreed that Lessee has entered into the Management
Agreement with the Manager, the Insurance Agreement with the Insurance Manager
and the Administrative Services Agreement with the Administrator, under which
agreements certain rights and obligations of Lessee hereunder will be exercised
and performed by such Persons on behalf of Lessee. Lessee agrees to instruct the
Manager, the Insurance Manager and the Administrator to take such actions as
shall be necessary or appropriate under such agreements so that Lessee shall be
in compliance in all material respects with its obligations hereunder and under
the other Operative Agreements.

            Section 25.10 Incorporation by Reference. The payment obligations
set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Participation Agreement are hereby
incorporated by reference.

            Section 25.11 No Partnership Created. The parties hereto do not
intend to create, and nothing herein shall be construed as creating, a
partnership or joint venture for federal income tax purposes. Each party hereto
agrees (i) that it does not have, or intend to form, a joint profit motive with
any other party hereto or any other person with respect to any Unit, Existing
Equipment Sublease or Permitted Sublease, (ii) not to hold itself out to the
public as a partner with any other party hereto, (iii) not to share any profits
(including rent or any other payments to which it is entitled) or losses with
respect to its interest in any Unit, Existing Equipment Sublease or Permitted
Sublease, and (iv) that unless (x) otherwise required by the Internal Revenue
Service or like governmental authority with jurisdiction over income tax matters
(the "Required Position") or (y) such party receives an opinion of its
independent tax counsel that there is no "reasonable basis" (within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6662-3(b)(3)) to claim that no partnership
exists (and such party delivers notice of the receipt of such opinion or notice
of the Required Position to the other parties hereto within ten (10) Business
Days after its receipt of such opinion or notice of the Required Position), it
will not file any partnership or other joint income tax return with respect to
items of income, loss, deduction, or credit attributable to its interest in any
Unit, Existing Equipment Sublease or Permitted Sublease.
