(a)From time to time following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances and such other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may be necessary or appropriate to fully and effectively sell, transfer, assign, and convey and deliver to Buyer all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be expressly conveyed to Buyer under this Agreement and to fully and effectively sell, transfer, assign, and convey and deliver to Buyer and their Subsidiaries, and have Buyer and its Subsidiaries assume, the Assumed Liabilities intended to be expressly assumed by Buyer under this Agreement, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and to confirm the right, title or interest of Buyer in the Acquired Assets, including (i) promptly transferring and/or delivering back to Seller and its Subsidiaries any asset or Liability not contemplated by this Agreement to be an Acquired Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, which asset or Liability was transferred and/or delivered to Buyer at the Closing and (ii) promptly transferring and/or delivering to Buyer any asset or Liability contemplated by this Agreement to be an Acquired Asset or an Assumed Liability, respectively, which was not transferred and/or delivered to Buyer at the Closing, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), without further consideration paid by any Party and the relevant Schedules to this Agreement shall be amended accordingly.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date, (i) Seller shall remit to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. dollar funds to an account designated by Buyer, an amount equal to

(A)the amount of any cash or cash equivalents received by Sellers or its Subsidiaries in respect of any Transferred Accounts Receivable prior to the Closing Date less (B) the amount of any Transferred Accounts Payable satisfied by Seller or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date, if such amount is a positive number, or (ii) Buyer shall remit to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. dollar funds to an account designated by Seller, an amount equal to

(A) the amount of any Transferred Accounts Payable satisfied by Seller or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date less (B) the amount of any cash or cash equivalents received by Sellers or its

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the purchase price to be paid by Buyer for the Acquired Assets shall be (i) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, plus (ii) a cash payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, of Five Hundred Seventy-One Million One Hundred Seventy-Seven Thousand Three Hundred Thirty- Two Dollars (US $571,177,332) (the “Base Purchase Price”), payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (as adjusted pursuant to Annex A hereto, the “Purchase Price”).

(b)As used in this Agreement, the “Estimated Purchase Price” means an amount equal to the Base Purchase Price plus (A) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Modified Working Capital exceeds the Target Modified Working Capital, minus (B) the amount, if any, by which Target Modified Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Modified Working Capital, minus (C) the amount of the Estimated Data Tape Adjustment Amount, (D) plus the amount of Estimated Transfer Taxes. For purposes of determining the amount of cash to be paid as the Estimated Purchase Price by Buyer at the Closing pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(i), Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer before the Closing Date, a written statement certified by an officer of Seller setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of: (i) the Modified Working Capital (such amount, the “Estimated Modified Working Capital”), (ii) the Data Tape Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Data Tape Adjustment Amount”), (iii) the Estimated Transfer Taxes (the “Estimated Transfer Taxes”), and (iv) the Estimated Purchase Price (such statement, the “Estimated Closing Statement”). Seller agrees that it shall prepare the Estimated Closing Statement in accordance with, as applicable, the definitions of “Modified Working Capital” and “Data Tape Adjustment Amount” set forth herein and, in the case of the Estimated Modified Working Capital, in accordance with the Accounting Principles, and Seller shall deliver together with the Estimated Closing Statement any supporting documentation and additional information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer with respect to the amounts set forth therein. Seller has consulted (including by providing Buyer with reasonable access to such of Seller’s personnel as are reasonably necessary to assist Buyer in its review) in good faith with Buyer in the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement and has provided Buyer with a draft thereof showing the components of Estimated Modified Working Capital, the Estimated Transfer Taxes and the Estimated Data Tape Adjustment Amount (together with any supporting work papers) and has considered in good faith the comments provided by Buyer prior to preparing the final calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price.

(a)If the Purchase Price as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.2 is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Buyer the total amount of such deficit, and if the Purchase Price as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.2 exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to Seller the total amount of such excess,

in either case by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. dollar funds to an account designated by the party receiving payment, within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of the Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 3.2.

(b)Within 60 days after the Closing, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth Buyer’s calculation, prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, of: (i) the Modified Working Capital, (ii) the Data Tape Adjustment Amount, (iii) the Transfer Taxes, and (iv) the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3.2 (the “Closing Statement”). The parties agree to provide each other and their respective representatives access to their respective books, records and personnel to the extent relating to or previously relating to the Business throughout the periods during which the Closing Statement is being prepared or evaluated and any disputes that may arise under this Section 3.2 are being resolved. If Seller disagrees with the determination of the Closing Statement, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such disagreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, which written notice shall set forth any such disagreement in reasonable detail together with supporting documentation (“Disagreement Notice”). If Seller fails to deliver a Disagreement Notice by the end of such 30- day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer. Matters included in the calculations in the Closing Statement to which Seller does not object in the Disagreement Notice shall be deemed accepted by Seller and shall not be subject to further dispute or review. Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disagreement, and any resolution agreed to in writing by Buyer and Seller shall be final and binding upon the parties.

(c)If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disagreement as contemplated by Section 3.2(b) within 30 days after delivery by Seller of a Disagreement Notice, or within 20 business days of delivery by Seller of a request for changes in the Purchase Price Allocation as contemplated by Section 3.3, Buyer and Seller shall jointly select a mutually acceptable third party nationally recognized accounting firm (that is not the auditor of either Party) to act as accounting arbitrator, the retention of which will not give rise to present or potential future auditor independence problems for Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, as determined in the reasonable discretion of Seller and Buyer, to resolve such disagreement (the firm so selected shall be referred to herein as the “Accounting Arbitrator”). The parties shall instruct the Accounting Arbitrator to consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement as to which Buyer has disagreed pursuant to a Disagreement Notice and Buyer and Seller have not resolved their disagreement. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Arbitrator shall be limited to whether such calculation was done in accordance with the terms hereof, the accounting methods, standards, policies, practices, classifications, estimation methodologies, assumptions or procedures used to prepare the Closing Statement, and whether there were mathematical errors in the calculation of the Closing Statement, and the Accounting Arbitrator shall not make any other determination. The Accounting Arbitrator shall make its determination based solely on written submissions, presentations and supporting material provided by Buyer and Seller and not pursuant to any independent review. In resolving any such disagreement, the Accounting Arbitrator may not assign a value to such item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Buyer in the Closing Statement or by Seller in the Disagreement Notice or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by Buyer in the Closing Statement or by Seller in the Disagreement Notice. Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Arbitrator to

deliver to all parties, as promptly as practicable, a written report setting forth the resolution of any such disagreement determined in

accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such report shall be final and binding upon the parties absent manifest error. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator arising in connection with this Section 3.2 shall be borne by the parties in such proportion to reflect the relative amount of each party’s determination that has been modified pursuant to the Accounting Arbitrator’s report. For example, if Seller claims in the Disagreement Notice that it is entitled to an adjustment payment of $100,000, but the Accounting Arbitrator determines that Seller has a valid claim for only $30,000, then Buyer shall bear 30% of the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator and Seller shall bear the other 70% of such fees, costs and expenses.

(d)Buyer and Seller agree that any payments made pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be allocated in a manner consistent with any allocation agreed to pursuant to Section 3.3.

(a)Buyer and Seller have allocated the Purchase Price, including all Liabilities assumed or taken subject to and treated as consideration for federal income tax purposes, to the aggregate Acquired Assets sourced to Canada and the aggregate Acquired Assets sourced to the United States (the “US-Canada Purchase Price Allocation”), as set forth in Exhibit L.

(b)Buyer and Seller have further allocated (i) the portion of the US-Canada Purchase Price to the aggregate Acquired Assets sourced to the United States among the individual Acquired Assets sourced to the United States, and (ii) the portion of the US-Canada Purchase Price allocated to the aggregate Acquired Assets sourced to the Canada among the individual Acquired Assets sourced to Canada (the “Purchase Price Allocation”), as set forth in Exhibit L, which Buyer and Seller agree is reasonable and in accordance with the Code Section 1060 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. All Tax Returns and reports filed by Buyer and Seller shall be prepared consistently with the Purchase Price Allocation or, if applicable, any adjustments to the Purchase Price or Assumed Liabilities.

3.4Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any other provision of federal, state, local, or foreign Tax Law or under any applicable Law; provided, however, Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller at least five (5) days prior to withholding any such amounts and Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to eliminate or reduce such withholding obligation, including by providing any necessary documentation to support such elimination or reduction. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be timely paid over to the relevant Taxing Authority by Buyer and to the extent so paid over such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

The closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP located at 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019 (or remotely via the electronic exchange of executed documents and other closing deliverables) simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement on the date of this Agreement (the “Closing Date.”).

For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the term “Transaction Confidential Information” shall mean all information of a confidential or proprietary nature (whether or not specifically labeled or identified as “confidential”), in any form or medium, to the extent disclosed by or on behalf of any Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates, or by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates to Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms or conditions of, or in connection with the performance of any covenants, agreements or obligations, or exercise of rights, under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1, Buyer may disclose such copies of the Transaction Agreements (including the schedules and exhibits attached to such Transaction Agreements and the Seller Disclosure Schedule) in connection with any material investment to be made in Buyer or in connection with a business combination involving, or change of control of, Buyer; provided that prior to disclosing such copies, Buyer shall have entered into a customary confidentiality agreement with the recipient of such copies restricting the disclosure and use of such copies by such recipient in the same manner as any other confidential or proprietary information disclosed by Buyer to such recipient.

7.2Public Statements. Each Party shall issue a mutually agreed press release on the date hereof and Seller will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities Exchange Commission on or before the 4th business day after the date of this Agreement, which will include a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit. Except as required by Law, Order or stock exchange requirements, a Party hereto may not issue any other releases of information without the consent of the other Parties.

7.3Record Retention. Each Party agrees, on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates, that for a period of not less than one (1) year following the Closing Date, it shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records relating to the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities in its possession with respect to periods prior to the Closing. Each Party shall have the right to destroy all or part of such books and records after the first anniversary of the Closing Date or, at an earlier time by giving each other Party hereto twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of such intended disposition and by offering to deliver to the other Parties, at the other Party’s expense, custody of such books and records as such first party may intend to destroy. Promptly following the Closing Date, Seller shall furnish to the Buyer any chattel paper original counterpart of a Railcar Lease Agreement to the extent in Seller’s possession. In the event that any chattel paper original counterpart of a Railcar Lease Agreement, including an original counterpart no. 1 thereto, is not in Seller’s possession, the Seller shall deliver the Buyer a certificate of a responsible officer of Seller confirming that: (i) the Seller cannot locate an original of such Railcar Lease Agreement, including an original counterpart no. 1 thereto, and (ii) to the Seller’s knowledge, there is no, or there is no longer in existence, an original counterpart no. 1 or any other original of such Railcar Lease Agreement bearing a legend identifying it as a chattel paper original.

7.4Bulk Sales. It will not be practicable to comply or to attempt to comply with the procedures of the Uniform Commercial Code or other bulk sales Laws or similar Laws of the

jurisdictions in which the Acquired Assets to be conveyed hereby are situated or of any other jurisdictions which may be asserted to be applicable to the Transactions and the Parties believe that it is not clear that any such Laws are applicable to such transaction, therefore the parties waive compliance with the provisions of any such bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the Transactions.

(a)After the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, as promptly as practicable, deliver, and if necessary endorse over to Buyer, any cash, checks or other instruments of payment Seller or any of its Subsidiaries receive that relate to the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business to which Buyer is entitled and shall hold such cash, checks or other instruments of payment in trust for Buyer until such delivery.

(b)After the Closing, Buyer shall, as promptly as practicable, deliver to Seller (or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable) any mail and payments received by Buyer that do not relate to the Acquired Assets or the Business and to which Seller or its Subsidiaries are entitled.

7.6Unintentionally Omitted Assets. If, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, Seller or Buyer discover that there are any assets of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that were used in the Business prior to the Closing and are primarily related to the Business, but were not included in the Acquired Assets and were not Excluded Assets, Seller shall transfer such assets to Buyer unless such assets would be Non-Assignable Assets if they had been included in the Acquired Assets, in which case they will be deemed to be Non-Assignable Assets and Section 2.5 will apply to such assets.

(a)As consideration for and to induce Buyer to pay the consideration set forth in this Agreement, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the third anniversary hereof (the “Restricted Period”) (provided, that such period shall be extended by any period in which Seller is in violation of the covenants of this Section 7.7), Seller shall not, and Seller shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, engage in, or own any interest in, or control, manage or operate any Person that engages in the Railcar Business or Fleet Management Business, or any business that is substantially similar to the Railcar Business or Fleet Management Business (each such business, a “Competitive Business”) in any country in which the Business operates on the Closing Date. Nothing in this Section 7.7(a) shall preclude Seller or any of its Subsidiaries from:

(i)engaging in, owning any interest in, or controlling, managing or operating any Person engaging in, in the Retained Businesses;

(ii)acquiring (by asset purchase, stock purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), directly or indirectly, the stock, business or assets of any Person that at the time of such acquisition is engaged in, or owns any interest in or controls, manages, or operates any Person that is engaged in, a Competitive Business that would otherwise be prohibited by this Section 7.(a) (such Competitive Business being referred to herein as an “Acquired Competitive Business”); provided, that such Acquired Competitive Business

did not generate more than ten percent (10%) of the net revenues of the combined businesses that are being acquired as part of the same transaction or related transactions in which such Acquired Competitive Business is being acquired (measured over the last twelve (12) months for which such financial data are available prior to the execution of the definitive agreement for such acquisition (or the date of the consummation of such acquisition if there is no such definitive agreement));

(iii)engaging in, owning any interest in, or controlling, managing or operating any Person engaging in, any Acquired Competitive Business acquired in accordance with Section 7.7(a)(ii) in a manner and on a scale consistent with the conduct of such business immediately prior to the acquisition of such business;

(iv)owning, directly or indirectly, as a passive, non-controlling investor (without any membership on the board of directors or similar governing body of such Person), up to an aggregate of five (5%) of any class of securities of any Person that are registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;

(v)owning any interest in, or controlling, managing or operating Railcars for its own use;

(vi)leasing or subleasing, as lessor or sub-lessor a de minimis amount of the Railcars provided for in (v) above (subject to the terms of the Leasing Agreement);

(vii)owning any interest in, or controlling, managing or operating the Railcars set forth on Schedule 2.2(n)(ii); or

(viii)leasing or subleasing, as lessor or sub-lessor the Railcars provided for in (vii) above pursuant to the terms of the agreements set forth on Schedule 2.2(n)(ii).

(b)From the Closing Date until the second anniversary of the Closing Date (provided, that such period shall be extended by any period in which Seller is in violation of the covenants of this Section 7.7), Seller shall not, and Seller shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly:

(i)employ (including any continued employment with Seller), hire, solicit or assist in the solicitation of, any Transferred Employee who on the Closing Date is an employee of the Business, unless such individual is no longer in the employ of the Business, Buyer or its Affiliates;

(ii)encourage any Offered Employee to remain employed by Seller or any of its Affiliates or to reject any offer of employment by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (which for purposes of clarification, will not prohibit Seller’s disclosure (and related discussion) of its retirement benefits to Offered Employees who are retirement eligible and no such disclosure about Seller’s retirement benefits with Offered Employees who are retirement eligible will be deemed a breach of this Section 7.7(b)(ii)); or

(iii)contact, solicit, assist in the solicitation of, or cause any supplier, licensee or service provider with whom the Business has a commercial relationship,

(c)Each of the parties has carefully read this Section 7.7 and considered the restraints imposed upon Seller and its Subsidiaries, and is in full accord as to the necessity of such restrictive covenants for the reasonable and proper protection of Buyer, its Affiliates and the Business, and agrees that each restraint imposed by the provisions of this Section 7.7 is fair and reasonable with respect to subject matter, geographic scope and time period. It is expressly understood and agreed that although Seller and Buyer consider such covenants to be fair and reasonable, if a judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or any other restriction contained in this Section 7.7 is an invalid or unenforceable restriction against Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, the provisions of this Section 7.7 shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply to such maximum time and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein, which shall be given full force and effect without regard to such finding.

(d)Seller represents, stipulates and acknowledges on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries that: (i) the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7.7 are a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby for which Seller will receive a substantial financial benefit, and (ii) it would impair the goodwill acquired by Buyer and reduce the value of the Business obtained by Buyer through the

transactions contemplated hereby if such Person were to use its ability and knowledge in competition with Buyer, its Affiliates or the Business, or to otherwise breach the obligations contained in this Section 7.7.

(e)In respect of the covenants contained in this Section and this Agreement, Buyer agrees, at the request of Seller, to make any elections or joint elections with Seller contemplated by section 56.4 of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

7.8Forward-Looking Statements; Data Room. In connection with its investigation of Seller and the Business, Buyer and its Representatives and Affiliates may have received from, or on behalf of Seller, certain estimates, budgets, forecasts, plans and financial projections with respect to Seller and/or the Business (“Forward-Looking Statements”), and Buyer acknowledges that (i) there are uncertainties inherent in making Forward-Looking Statements and (ii) it is familiar with such uncertainties and it is making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all Forward-Looking Statements so furnished to it and its Representatives (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying Forward-Looking Statements). Seller is not making any representation or warranty with respect to, nor will have or be subject to any Liability to Buyer, or any other Person resulting from, the distribution to Buyer or its use of, Forward-Looking Statements. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any documents that are or were available for its review in connection with its due diligence investigation will be deemed to have been delivered to, made available to, and received by, Buyer for all purposes if such documents were posted and made available to Buyer in the Data Room on the date that is at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement.

7.9Non-Reliance. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in ARTICLE 5 of this Agreement, (a) Seller has not made any representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, as to itself or the Business, or the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding itself or the Business, which has been furnished or made available to the Buyer or its Representatives, and (b) Buyer has not relied, is not relying, and will not assert that it has relied upon any statement, representation or warranty (whether written or oral) other than the representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE 5 of this Agreement.

(a)Prior to the date hereof, Buyer or its designated Affiliate has offered, or immediately thereafter will offer, employment or service to each Business Employee disclosed on Section 5.10(g) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule: (x) who is actively employed on the Closing Date or who is temporarily absent from active employment due to vacation, effective as of the Closing Date, or (y) who is temporarily absent from active employment due to disability, military leave or any other approve leave or paid time off on the Closing Date, upon termination of such temporary absence within six (6) months following the Closing Date, provided that such individual is able to perform the essential functions of the position (with or without reasonable accommodation) he or she previously held with Seller prior to such absence (the “Offered Employees”). Those Business Employees who accept employment or service from Buyer or one

of its Affiliates pursuant to the offers of employment or service made pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) and commence employment or service with Buyer or one of its Subsidiaries shall be referred to herein collectively as “Transferred Employees”. Seller shall provide all reasonable assistance to Buyer and its Affiliates in connection with the offers of employment or service to the Offered Employees contemplated by this section.

(b)The offer of employment provided under Section 8.1(a) to Offered Employees will provide for (i) base salary or hourly wages which are at least equivalent to the base salary or hourly wages provided by the Company immediately prior to the Closing, as set forth in Section 5.10(g) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule with respect to each such Transferred Employee;

(ii)annual cash bonus opportunities, if any, which are at least equivalent to the annual cash bonus opportunities provided by the Company immediately prior to the Closing, as set forth in Section 5.10(g) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule with respect to each such Transferred Employee; and (iii) benefits (excluding equity arrangements, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements, change-in-control benefits, retiree health and welfare benefits or defined benefit pension plans) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to such benefits provided to the Offered Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date as described on Schedule 5.10(g), and will not require any Offered Employee to work from a location more than thirty (30) miles from the location at which such Offered Employee primarily worked prior to the Closing Date.

(c)Buyer will retain, and will not terminate any of the Transferred Employees except for cause (as determined by Buyer in good faith), for at least twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.

8.2Seller’s Payment of Pre-Closing Compensation and Benefits. Seller shall terminate the employment of Offered Employees who become Transferred Employees effective on the Closing Date, and Seller shall pay to the Transferred Employees any and all Liabilities relating to or arising out of their employment or termination of employment up to and including the Closing Date, including any payments and benefits due such Transferred Employees pursuant to accrued wages, salary, bonus, or other forms of compensation and benefits, except for Assumed PTO.

(a)Buyer shall cause the Transferred Employee’s service with Seller as set forth on Section 5.10(g) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to be recognized under the benefit plans made available by Buyer or its Affiliates to the Transferred Employees (“Buyer Benefit Plans”) for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting (excluding equity compensation and severance) and, to the extent applicable, entitlement to vacation and sick leave but excluding benefit accruals, to the same extent such service is recognized under the corresponding Business Benefit Plans; provided that such recognition does not result in any duplication of benefits. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable measures to cause all applicable Buyer Benefit Plans that provide medical, vision, and dental insurance coverage (collectively, “Buyer Welfare Plans”) to waive pre- existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability provisions and waiting period requirements to the same extent such exclusions, provisions and requirements were waived or satisfied under the applicable Business Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date. In

addition, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable measures to cause the applicable Buyer Welfare Plans to credit Transferred Employees with amounts credited by Seller medical, dental and vision insurance coverage toward the satisfaction of annual deductible and out-of-pocket maximums under such Buyer health and, dental and vision coverage during the plan year in which the Closing occurs.

(b)Seller, its Subsidiaries and ERISA Affiliates shall be solely responsible for complying with COBRA with respect to their employees and their eligible dependents by reason of such employees’ termination of employment with Seller, its Subsidiaries and their ERISA Affiliates, and neither Buyer nor any Affiliate thereof shall have any obligation or liability to provide COBRA benefits on account of any such termination of employment. Seller, its Subsidiaries and their ERISA Affiliates shall not take any action after the Closing that would cause Buyer and any ERISA Affiliate thereof to become a “successor employer” to any “M&A qualified beneficiary”, including ceasing to maintain any group health plan in connection with the sale contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer shall or shall cause its Affiliates to assume each Transferred Employee’s unused vacation time earned as of the Closing Date with Seller but only to the extent set forth on Section 5.10(g) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and included in the calculation of Modified Working Capital (“Assumed PTO”). Seller, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall retain and hold Buyer and its Affiliates harmless from all other Liabilities under all Employee Benefit Plans.

8.4No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 8 or any other provision of this Agreement with respect to Business Employees are included for the sole benefit of the respective Parties and shall not create any right (a) in any other Person, including any Business Employees, any participant in any

Employee Benefit Plan or any beneficiary thereof, (b) to continued employment, either before or after the Closing, with Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (c) to be construed to modify, amend or establish any benefit plan, program or arrangement or in any way affect the ability of the Parties hereto or any other Person to modify, amend or terminate any of its benefit plans or programs.

(a)Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 and any audit, litigation, refund claim or other proceeding with respect to Taxes (each, a “Tax

Proceeding”). Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer and Seller agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Assets relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.

(b)Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to provide the other Party with all information that either Party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c)Seller shall prepare and timely file (at the expense of the Seller) all Tax Returns for Seller that are for a tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (each such Tax return being a “Seller Return”).

(d)To the extent that Buyer or Seller reasonably determines that Revenue Procedure 2004-53 is applicable as the result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall each adopt the “standard procedure” for preparing and filings IRS Forms 941 and W-2, as described in such Revenue Procedure.

9.2Tax Characterization of Payments Under this Agreement. Seller and Buyer agree to treat all payments made either to or for the benefit of the other Party under this Agreement (other than payment of the Purchase Price) as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof to the extent permitted under applicable Tax Law.

10.1Survival of Representations and Warranties. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, except in the case of Fraud, (a) none of the representations or warranties contained in ARTICLE 5 herein shall survive the Closing and all such representations or warranties will expire and be of no further force and effect as of the Closing, and no indemnification obligation will be associated therewith or based thereon as of or after the Closing, and (b) the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date. All covenants and agreements of the Parties contained herein to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing for the shorter of (y) six (6) years after the Closing Date, or (z) for the period explicitly specified therein, and all such covenants will thereafter expire and be of no further force and effect, and no indemnification obligation will be associated therewith or based thereon. All covenants and agreements of the Parties contained herein to be performed at the Closing which are not performed at the Closing shall survive the Closing for six (6) months after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 2.5 shall remain in full force and effect until fully performed in accordance with the terms therein, at which time such agreement

and covenant shall terminate and (ii) any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. It is the express intent of the Parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 10.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item will be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby. The Parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 10.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’ length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties and to supersede the statute of limitations that would otherwise be applicable.

(a)Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 10, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, and their respective agents and other Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties” ), from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or to which any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third party claim) and which arise directly or indirectly from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:

(ii)any breach of the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement which constitutes Fraud;

(iii)any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or other agreement of Seller under this Agreement; and

(iv)any Action relating to any matter of the type referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above (including any Action commenced by any Buyer Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this ARTICLE 10 ,but only if such Buyer Indemnified Party prevails in such Action to enforce its rights under this ARTICLE 10).

(b)Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 10, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and each of its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, and their respective agents and other Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties or to which any of the Seller Indemnified Parties may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third party claim) and which arise directly or indirectly from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:

(ii)any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement on and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the Closing Date;

(iii)any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or other agreement of Buyer under this Agreement; and

(iv)any Action relating to any matter of the type referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above (including any Action commenced by any Seller Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this ARTICLE 10, but only if such Seller Indemnified Party prevails in such Action to enforce its rights under this ARTICLE 10).

(c)Subject to Section 11.6, the Parties acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement (other than with respect to the Transition Services Agreement, Maumee Office License Agreement, Fleet Management Agreement and the Railcar Repair Services Agreement), shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 10, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, from and after the Closing, none of the Parties hereto shall be liable or responsible in any manner whatsoever to any other Party or other Person within the definition of a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, whether for indemnification or otherwise, with respect to any and all claims relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, regardless of whether such claims arise in contract,

tort, breach of warranty or any other legal or equitable theory, including any type of fraud not meeting the definition of Fraud herein. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under any Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 10, provided however, that nothing in this Section 10.2(c) shall limit or apply: (i) in the event of Fraud, (ii) to any claim under the R&W Insurance Policy or against the insurer thereunder, (iii) to any Action to obtain specific enforcement of the covenants in this Agreement, or (iv) to any remedies in connection with or arising out of the other Transaction Agreements.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of determining whether a breach of a representation or warranty exists for purposes of this ARTICLE 10 and the amount of Losses arising from such a breach for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 10, such representation and warranty shall be read without giving effect to any qualification that is based on materiality, including the words “material,” “Business Material Adverse Effect,” “in any material respect” and other uses of the word “material” (and shall be

treated as if such words were deleted from such representation or warranty to the extent used as a qualification).

(a)Except for claims arising out of Fraud, or for claims in respect of Assumed Liabilities or Excluded Liabilities, the maximum aggregate amount of Losses that the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover under Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(b), respectively, shall be limited to an aggregate amount of the Purchase Price.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Losses recoverable hereunder shall be reduced in amount by any insurance, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements actually received by any Indemnified Party in connection with such Losses (in all such cases, net of fees, expenses, increases in insurance premiums or any other costs incurred by any Indemnified Party in order to receive any such benefits, proceeds, payments or reimbursements other than any retention required under the R&W Insurance Policy, which retention is the obligation of Buyer), and any Indemnified Party shall (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to receive such benefits, proceeds, payments or reimbursements, and (B) to the extent any such benefits, proceeds, payments or reimbursements are realized (in all such cases that are subject to this Section 10.3(b), net of fees, expenses, increases in insurance premiums or any other costs incurred by any Indemnified Party in order to realize any such benefits, proceeds, payments or reimbursements) after such Losses are recovered from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 10, promptly repay the amount of such Losses (not to exceed the amount of such net benefits, proceeds, payments or reimbursements) to the Indemnifying Party.

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, (i) in the event that a particular matter entitles a Buyer Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to more than one clause of Section 10.2(a) or pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover a particular dollar of Losses associated with such matter only once under this ARTICLE 10 and the Transaction Agreements and (ii) in the event that a particular matter entitles a Seller Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to more than one clause of Section 10.2(b) or pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement, Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover a particular dollar of Losses associated with such matter only once under this ARTICLE 10 and the Transaction Agreements and (iii) if a state of facts exists that would allow a Buyer Indemnified Party to seek recovery under either the R&W Insurance Policy or Section 10.2(a) herein, such Buyer Indemnified Party must first seek recovery of such Losses under the R&W Insurance Policy, whether or not there is any retention amount due, which retention is the obligation of Buyer and will not be considered Losses hereunder, except in the case of Fraud.

10.4Indemnification Claims. If an Indemnified Party is of the opinion that it has or may have a right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Agreement (an “Indemnification Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall so notify the Indemnifying Party in a written notice (a “Claim Certificate”), prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period (if applicable): (i) stating that such Indemnified Party has directly or indirectly suffered or incurred any Losses, or reasonably anticipates that it will directly or indirectly suffer or incur any Losses, for which it is entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Agreement;

(ii) a brief description in reasonable detail (to the extent available to such Indemnified Party) of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to each item of Losses based on such Indemnified Party’s good faith belief thereof; and (iii) the basis for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Agreement to which such item of Losses is related. After delivery of a Claim Certificate, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this ARTICLE 10 shall be determined: (a) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; (b) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined.

10.5Third Party Claims. In the event any claim, demand, complaint or Action is instituted by a third party against an Indemnified Party which involves or appears reasonably likely to involve an Indemnification Claim hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall, promptly after receipt of notice of any such Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any such Third Party Claim will relieve the Indemnifying Party from Liability in connection therewith only if and to the extent that such failure caused damages, for which the Indemnified Party is obligated, which are greater than the damages would have been had the Indemnified Party given the Indemnifying Party prompt notice hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should an Indemnified Party be physically served with a complaint with regard to a Third Party Claim the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party with a copy of the complaint within five (5) days after receipt thereof and shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party within five (5) days after the receipt of such complaint copies of notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party

Claim (or in each case such earlier time as may be necessary to enable the Indemnifying Party to respond to the court proceedings on a timely basis). Upon receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim and to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.5:

(a)the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party, except that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel if a conflict of interest exists with respect to such Third Party Claim between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party other than ordinary conflicts that arise under this Agreement;

Upon receipt of such payment from the Canadian Buyer, the Canadian Seller shall report the amount of GST/HST and PST, as applicable, to the appropriate Governmental Authorities in the manner and at the time required by applicable Law, and shall thereafter remit such amount to the appropriate Governmental Authorities (which remittance shall occur in the manner and at the time required by applicable Law).

In the event that the Canadian Seller subsequently determines that a Transferred Rail Asset forming part of the Canadian Acquired Assets was situated in a different province than initially determined on the GST/HST and PST Report, the Canadian Seller shall have the right to invoice the Canadian Buyer (and the Canadian Buyer shall be required to pay the amount of such invoice to the Canadian Seller) for any applicable additional GST/HST and PST as required under applicable law.

(i)The Canadian Buyer shall be responsible to provide the Canadian Seller with its PST vendor numbers or valid purchase exemption certificate(s) to support the PST exemptions for the applicable Transferred Rail Assets as purchases for resale by way of lease or any other basis for point of sale exemption, such as for multijurisdictional conveyances.

(l)The sale or transfer of some Transferred Rail Assets owned by the Seller to the Buyer shall be subject to Canadian Transfer Tax provided that such Transferred Rail Assets are situated in Canada at the time of their sale or transfer to the Buyer and that the Seller is a registrant for GST/HST and/or PST purposes, where applicable, as the case may be. As such, the Buyer is liable and shall pay the Seller for any applicable Canadian Transfer Tax with respect to the sale or transfer of any Transferred Rail Assets owned by the Seller that are situated in Canada at the time of Closing and, in the event that the Seller, receives an actual notice from any Canadian Governmental Authority with respect to any Canadian Transfer Taxes arising out of the sale of any such Transferred Rail Asset, and on written demand by the Seller, the Buyer shall pay, and otherwise indemnify and hold harmless the Seller from and against any and all such Canadian Transfer Taxes.
