The Borrower shall not request any Loans under the Credit Facility which would cause the unpaid principal balances outstanding under the Credit Facility to exceed the Availability. In the event that the unpaid principal balance of the Credit Facility exceeds the Availability, the Borrower shall reduce the unpaid principal balance of the Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility to an amount not in excess of the Availability by payment to the Lender within five (5) Business Days of any reduction in Availability due to a reduction in Borrowing Base Value evidenced by the Borrower’s monthly reporting as set forth in Section 5.09 hereof, as set forth in Section 2.01.3 hereof as a result of an Appraisal (or re-Appraisal) of the Collateral, as a result of a Casualty Event as set forth in Section 5.02, or as a result of (and as a condition precedent to) any of the actions set forth in Section 4.12 of the Security Agreement that upon giving effect thereto, determined in the judgment of the Lender, result in a reduction of the Borrowing Base Value of the affected Collateral, including related Railcars. Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the other Credit Documents, the Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow under the Credit Facility (in whole or in part) until the Maturity Date.

In connection with the Borrower’s request to add Eligible Railcars to the Borrowing Base, the following agreements, documents, information, and requirements (collectively, “Borrowing Base Request Documentation and Requirements”) shall be provided or caused to be provided by the Borrower or delivered to the Lender by third parties, in each case at the Borrower’s expense, as conditions precedent to such approval.

due under the Lease Agreement (after expiration of any applicable cure periods thereunder), and then in such instance, delivery of the notice to the Lender shall be made within ten (10) days thereafter.

The Lender shall maintain the right to order one equipment inspection annually, at Borrower’s expense.

Interest shall accrue upon the unpaid principal balances of the Loans until the Loans have been repaid in full at the rate or rates described below in this Section 2.02. Accrued interest shall be paid in arrears on the applicable Interest Payment Dates.

2.02.1. LIBOR Rate Loans. Interest shall accrue each day on the unpaid principal balance of any LIBOR Rate Loan, from and including the date of advance thereof to, but not including, the date such LIBOR Rate Loan is paid in full (or converts to a Base Rate Loan), at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate in effect for that day. The applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be determined each day using the LIBOR Rate in effect for that day, which, if such day is not a London Business Day, shall have been fixed on the nearest preceding London Business Day. Except as set forth below in this Section, all Loans shall be LIBOR Rate Loans.

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

effective on the date of such change.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 2.04. Increased Costs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 2.05. Taxes.

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

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

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

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

2.05.5. Status of Lender.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF LENDER

ON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof:

Subject to Section 8.05, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by applicable Laws and the terms of the Credit Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender may, (a) declare the commitment of the Lender to make advances of Loans under the Credit Facility to be terminated, (b) accelerate and call immediately due and payable all or any part of the Obligations, (c) seek specific performance or injunctive relief to enforce performance of the undertakings, duties, and agreements provided in the Credit Documents, whether or not a remedy at law exists or is adequate, (d) exercise any rights of a secured creditor under applicable Laws against the Collateral, including (i) the right to take possession of the Collateral without the use of judicial process or hearing of any kind, (ii) the right to require the Loan Parties to assemble the Collateral at such place as the Lender may specify, and (iii) the right to sell the Collateral, in whole or in part, at either private or public sale, and (e) seek the appointment of a receiver for any or all of the Loan Parties and/or the assets of any or all of the Loan Parties.

Section 8.02. Automatic Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default as described in Sections 7.07 or 7.08 of this Agreement, the commitments of the Lender hereunder to advance Loans under the Credit Facility shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall be automatically accelerated and due and payable without any notice, demand or action of any type on the part of the Lender.

Section 8.03. [Reserved].

Section 8.04. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents or otherwise under applicable Laws shall be cumulative and the exercise of any particular right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies in addition to, or as an alternative of, such right or remedy.

Section 8.05. Equity Cure. For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.11 of this Agreement, as of the end of any one Fiscal Quarter, upon notice from the Borrower to the Lender on or prior to the date that the financial statements for the month on which the last day of such Fiscal Quarter occurs are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.09.2 that the Borrower intends to receive an Equity Cure pursuant to this Section 8.05, subject to the limitations set forth below, a cash equity investment contribution (an “Equity Cure”) (which to the extent constituting other than common Equity Interests will be on terms and conditions acceptable to the Lender but shall not, in any event be in the form of a loan) from the Guarantor or the Ultimate Parent, the net cash proceeds of such Equity Cure received by the Borrower within fifteen (15) days following the date on which such financial statements are required to be delivered will, at the Borrower’s request, be deemed to increase net income for such Fiscal Quarter and as of the last day of such Fiscal Quarter solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio as set forth in Section 6.11 hereof tested at the end of such Fiscal Quarter and applicable subsequent periods which include such Fiscal Quarter. Following an Equity Cure, the Borrower must immediately pay down the amount of the Loans that would have caused the breach of the Interest Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 6.11 hereof had no Equity Cure been made to the extent necessary to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with Section 6.11 as of the last day of the relevant Fiscal Quarter, and shall deliver to the Lender calculations demonstrating to the reasonable satisfaction of the Lender monthly pro forma financial covenant

compliance by the Borrower for the remainder of the term of the Credit Facility. The Equity Cure may be exercised only once during the two-year term of the Credit Facility. The Lender shall not be obligated to extend additional credit under the Credit Facility during the period between the breach of the financial covenant and the completion of the Equity Cure.

All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

Section 9.02. Course of Conduct. No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right or power under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

The rights and remedies of the Lender under the Credit Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Credit Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless such waiver is made in writing by the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No waiver or indulgence by the Lender shall constitute a future waiver of performance or exact performance by any of the Loan Parties. No amendment or waiver shall be effective unless in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the advance of Loans under the Credit Facility shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or an Event of Default, regardless of whether the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time of such advance.

Section 9.03. Expenses. The Borrower shall pay all Lender Expenses upon the request of the Lender.

Section 9.04. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify, and shall cause the other Loan Parties to indemnify, the Lender and each Related Party of the Lender (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee” against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) the Credit Facility or any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party, any Contamination of a Property or of any other Collateral, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or the Collateral, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.05.3, this Section 9.04 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 9.05. Waiver of Claims. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower agrees that the Borrower will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the Credit Facility, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the administration thereof, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent it has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment that such Indemnitee acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.06. Successors and Assigns.

9.06.1. Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (a) neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations without the prior written consent of the Lender, and (b) the Lender may assign the Credit Facility and its rights under the Credit Facility, this Agreement, and the other Credit Documents, (i) in accordance with Section 9.06.2 below, (ii) by way of participation, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06.3 below, or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest in accordance with Section 9.06.5 below. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall limit any rights of the Lender with respect to any assignment of any nature upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, participants to the extent provided in Section 9.06.2 below and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

9.06.2. Assignment by the Lender. Subject to Section 9.18 hereof, the Lender shall be entitled to assign the Credit Facility, this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and its rights hereunder and thereunder at any time and from time to time provided that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any assignment by the Lender to an Identified Institution shall require the Borrower’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided further, however, no such consent shall be required for any assignment by the Lender to an Affiliate of the Lender, an Approved Fund, or any assignment in connection with the sale of all or a material part of the assets of the Lender or a division of the Lender which includes the Credit Facility.

9.06.3. Participations. Subject to Section 9.18 hereof, the Lender may at any time or from time to time, sell one or more participations in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under the Credit Facility, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower (except in the case of a sale of a participation in the absence of a continuing Event of Default to an Identified Institution which is not an Affiliate of the Lender or Approved Fund, in which case consent of the Borrower shall be required); provided that, in any event, the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents.

9.06.4. Approval by Borrower. The Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to and approved any proposed assignee or participant as to which such consent or approval is required (as set forth above in Sections 9.06.2 and 9.06.3 hereof) unless the Borrower objects to such proposed assignee or participant by written notice to the Lender within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice of the proposal of such assignee or participant.

9.06.5. Pledge. The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Credit Facility (including under its note or notes, if any) to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

Section 9.07. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Credit Document, the extension of the

Credit Facility, and the making of the Loans thereunder, regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on account of the Credit Facility, any of the Loans, any fee, or any other amount payable under the Credit Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Lender’s commitment to advance proceeds of Credit Facility and the Loans thereunder has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.04, 2.05.7, 9.04, and 9.05 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan and the termination of the Credit Facility, this Agreement, or any provision hereof.

Section 9.08. Counterparts And Integration. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article 4, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signature of the Borrower. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement electronically shall be just as effective as the delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.09. Electronic Execution. The words “execution”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law.

Section 9.10. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Governing State, without reference to its conflict of laws rules or any rules or principles that would require the application of any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.13. Venue. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other

Credit Documents in any court of the Governing State referred to in Section 9.12. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Section 9.14. Service Of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OBLIGATIONS.

Credit Agreement

Form of Guaranty Agreement

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

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

RECITALS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 14. Severability. If any provision of this Guaranty is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

Section 17. Reinstatement. In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is paid by the Borrower, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) is rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from the Beneficiaries as a preference, fraudulent transfer or

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

RE:

Notice and Acknowledgement of Assignment pursuant to a Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”), a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), and other Credit Documents, as defined in the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Credit Documents”), between M&T Bank (the “Lender”) and FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC (the “Borrower”).

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Credit Documents, the Lender has financed for Borrower certain railcars and related inventory and equipment described therein (collectively, the “Railcars”). Borrower has requested permission from the Lender to lease and or to continue to lease certain of the Railcars (the “Leased Equipment”) to [Insert – Name of Lessee] (“Lessee”), pursuant to the following (as amended, the “Lease”):

That certain dated , 20 , to that certain [Master] Lease dated as of , 20 , each by and between , as lessee, and Borrower, , as lessor.

The Lender is willing to consent to such leasing, subject to the terms of the Credit Documents including, among other things, the Lender’s receipt of this Notice And Acknowledgement of Assignment (this “Notice”).

Borrower hereby gives Lessee notice that Borrower has collaterally assigned to the Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to (but none of its obligations under) the Lease, as security for the performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Documents. In order to induce the Lender to consent to the Lease, by signing below, Lessee hereby consents to the assignment and acknowledges and agrees as follows:

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

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

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

due, and to provide all notices and other information required to be provided, under the Lease directly to the Lender, free of any offsets, claims or defenses of any kind whatsoever. Lessee shall have no duty to investigate the accuracy of any such direction or inquire as to its validity.

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

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

6.	Lessee shall obtain or execute all such documents and instruments as the Lender may reasonably deem necessary in order to effectuate the collateral assignment by Borrower to Lender.

7.	The Lease has been duly authorized by Lessee’s governing body (if required by the terms of the Lessee’s governing documents). Each person executing the Lease on behalf of Lessee was duly authorized to take such action.

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

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

10.	All notices to the Lender shall be given in the manner required by the Lease to the following address:

M&T Bank
