At any time when the Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Initial Purchaser and, upon request of holders and prospective purchasers of the Offered Notes, to such holders and purchasers, copies of the information (the “Additional Issuer Information”) required to be delivered to holders and prospective purchasers of the Offered Notes in accordance with Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) in order to permit compliance with Rule 144A in connection with resales by such holders of the Offered Notes. TRIP Holdings will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Initial Purchaser all such documents. Any Additional Issuer Information delivered to any holders and prospective purchasers of the Offered Notes will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          (c) The Issuer or TILC, on its behalf, will arrange for the qualification of the Offered Notes for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Initial Purchaser designates and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the resale of the Offered Notes by the Initial Purchaser, provided that the Issuer will not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

          (d) So long as the Offered Notes are outstanding, if not filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or posted on the website of TRIP Holdings, the Issuer or TILC will furnish to the Initial Purchaser (i) as soon as available, copies of each report furnished to TILC or any of its affiliates or shareholders, in the case of the Issuer, pursuant to any Operative Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), by first class mail as soon as practicable after such reports are furnished to TILC or any of its affiliates or shareholders, as the case may be, (ii) copies of each amendment to any of the Transaction Documents, (iii) copies of all reports and other communications (financial or other) furnished to the Trustee under the Indenture or to holders of the Offered Notes, and copies of any reports and financial statements, if any, furnished to or filed with the Commission, any governmental or regulatory authority or any national securities exchange, and (iv) from time to time such other

information as the Initial Purchaser may reasonably request relating to the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings or any of their respective affiliates, the Offered Notes and the Transaction Documents. Each of TILC and the Issuer shall make their officers, employees, independent accountants and legal counsel reasonably available upon request by the Initial Purchaser.

          (e) During the period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, the Issuer will, upon request, furnish to the Initial Purchaser and any holder of Offered Notes a copy of the restrictions on transfer applicable to the Offered Notes.

          (f) During the period of two (2) years after the Closing Date neither the Issuer nor TILC will, or will permit any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to, resell any of the Offered Notes that have been reacquired by any of them.

          (g) During the period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, the Issuer will not be or become an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate company that is or is required to be registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act.

          (h) The Issuer or TILC will pay all expenses incidental to the performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to: (i) all expenses in connection with the execution, issue, authentication, packaging and initial delivery of the Offered Notes, the preparation and printing of this Agreement, the Offered Notes, the documents comprising any part of the Offering Document, each Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Communication and any other document relating to the issuance, offer, sale and delivery of the Offered Notes; (ii) the cost of any advertising approved by the Issuer or TILC in connection with the issue of the Offered Notes; (iii) any expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with qualification of the Offered Notes for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Initial Purchaser designates and the printing of memoranda relating thereto; (iv) any fees charged by the Hired NRSRO for the rating of the Offered Notes; and (v) expenses incurred in distributing the documents comprising any part of the Offering Document (including any amendments and supplements thereto) and any Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Communications to the Initial Purchaser or to prospective purchasers of the Offered Notes. The Issuer and TILC jointly and severally will also pay or reimburse the Initial Purchaser (to the extent incurred by it) for all travel expenses of the Initial Purchaser’s, the Issuer’s, TILC’s, TRIP Leasing’s and TRIP Holdings’ officers and employees and any other expenses of the Initial Purchaser, the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings in connection with attending or hosting meetings with prospective purchasers of the Offered Notes from the Initial Purchaser. In addition to the foregoing, but without duplication, the Issuer or TILC will pay to the Initial Purchaser on the Closing Date the amounts in respect of its costs and expenses as set forth in Section 3 of the Engagement Letter as reimbursement of the Initial Purchaser’s other expenses.

          (i) In connection with the offering and the sale of the Offered Notes, until the Initial Purchaser shall have notified the Issuer and TILC of the completion of the resale of the Offered Notes, none of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings or any of their respective affiliates has or will, either alone or with one or more other persons, bid for or purchase for any account in which it or any of its affiliates has a beneficial interest any Offered

Notes or attempt to induce any person to purchase any Offered Notes; and none of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings or any of their respective affiliates will make bids or purchases for the purpose of creating actual, or apparent, active trading in, or of raising the price of, the Offered Notes.

          (j) For a period of 90 days, with respect to the Issuer, and 45 days, with respect to TILC and TRIP Holdings, after the date of the Offering Circular, none of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings will offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any United States dollar-denominated asset-backed debt securities issued, sponsored or guaranteed by the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings and having a maturity of more than one year from the date of issue, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of the Initial Purchaser. None of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings will at any time offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities under circumstances where such offer, sale, pledge, contract or disposition would cause the exemption afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or the safe harbor of Regulation S thereunder to cease to be applicable to the offer and sale of the Offered Notes.

          (k) The Issuer, TILC and TRIP Holdings (the “Indemnitors”) jointly and severally will indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser against any documentary, stamp or similar issuance tax, including any interest and penalties, on the creation, issuance and sale of the Offered Notes and on the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All payments to be made by TILC, TRIP Holdings or the Issuer hereunder shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges whatsoever unless TRIP Holdings, TILC or the Issuer is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties or charges. In that event, TRIP Holdings, TILC or the Issuer, as applicable, shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts that would have been received if no withholding or deduction had been made; provided that the Indemnitors will not be required to indemnify or gross-up for such taxes and withholdings to the extent imposed as a result of a failure of the Initial Purchaser to provide any duly executed and completed form or document described in the last sentence of this paragraph upon the execution of this Agreement or to be delivered thereafter upon the reasonable request of its Indemnitors which evidences the Initial Purchaser’s entitlement to an exemption for such taxes and withholdings. Furthermore, the Indemnitors hereby request that the Initial Purchaser hereby provide to them IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, whichever is applicable.

          (l) To the extent, if any, that the rating provided with respect to the Offered Notes by the Hired NRSRO is conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other action on or prior to the Closing Date by the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings, TILC, TRIP Leasing, TRIP Holdings or the Issuer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly furnish such documents and take any other such action on or prior to the Closing Date.

     6. Free Writing Communications. (a) Each of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings, jointly and severally, represents and agrees that, without the prior consent of the Initial

Purchaser, and the Initial Purchaser represents and agrees that, without the prior consent of TILC, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Offered Notes that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Communication. Any such Issuer Free Writing Communication consented to by TILC and the Initial Purchaser is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Communication.”

          (b) To the extent it would be an Issuer Free Writing Communication, each of the Issuer and TILC consents to the use by the Initial Purchaser of a Free Writing Communication that (a) contains only information describing the preliminary or final terms of the Offered Notes or the offering thereof or (b) does not contain any material information about the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings or the securities of any of them that was provided by any of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings or on behalf of any of them. Any such Free Writing Communication is a Permitted Free Writing Communication for purposes of this Agreement.

     7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Initial Purchaser. The obligations of the Initial Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Offered Notes will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings, herein, to the accuracy of the statements of officers of the Issuer and TILC made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by each of the Issuer, TILC and TRIP Holdings of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent on or prior to the Closing Date:

          (a) The Initial Purchaser shall have received from Deloitte LLP a letter or letters, dated as of the date of the Preliminary Offering Circular and as of the Applicable Time, in form and substance satisfactory to the Initial Purchaser and their counsel, stating in effect that they have performed certain specified procedures, all of which have been agreed to by the Initial Purchaser, as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature set forth in the Preliminary Offering Circular and the final Offering Circular agrees with the corresponding information included on or derived from a certain computer-generated railroad car lease data file and related record layout, excluding any questions of legal interpretation.

          (b) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred: (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings and its subsidiaries taken as one enterprise which, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser or any of its affiliates, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Notes; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of TILC or TRIP Holdings by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Securities Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities of TILC or TRIP Holdings (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating) or any announcement by such organization that the Issuer, TILC or TRIP Holdings has been placed on negative outlook; (iii) any change in U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency

exchange rates or exchange controls as would, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser or any of its affiliates, be likely to prejudice materially the success of the proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Offered Notes, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary market; (iv) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange; (v) any suspension of trading of any securities of the Issuer, TILC or TRIP Holdings or any of its affiliates on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (vi) any banking moratorium declared by U.S. Federal or New York authorities; (vii) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States; or (viii) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser or any of its affiliates, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or sale of and payment for the Offered Notes.

          (c) The Initial Purchaser shall have received opinions, dated the Closing Date, of (i) Vedder Price P.C., counsel for the Issuer, (ii) the Associate General Counsel and Secretary of TILC, and (iii) such other law firms acceptable to the Initial Purchaser and its counsel, to the effect that:

     (ix) There are no pending actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing, TRIP Holdings, or any of their respective subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties that, if determined adversely to the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing, TRIP Holdings, or any of their respective subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings to perform their respective obligations under the Indenture, this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document or which are otherwise material in the context of the sale of the Offered Notes; and no such actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or, to such counsel’s knowledge, contemplated;

     (xi) Such counsel have no reason to believe that the Final Offering Document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the Applicable Time and as of the Closing Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and such counsel have no reason to believe that the information specified in a schedule, if any, to such counsel’s letter, which information, when taken together with the Preliminary Offering Circular, will comprise the General Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time and as of the Closing Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

     (xii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Issuer, TILC and TRIP Holdings;

     (xiii) It is not necessary in connection with (i) the offer, sale and delivery of the Offered Notes by the Issuer to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) the resales of the Offered Notes by the Initial Purchaser in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, to register the Offered Notes under the Securities Act or to qualify an indenture in respect thereof under the Trust Indenture Act;

     (xvi) In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding of the Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code, a court properly presented with the facts would hold that the transfer of the Railcars and Leases from TRIP Leasing to the Issuer and as contemplated by the Transaction Documents prior to such event would constitute sales, and not secured loans, and that, accordingly, the Railcars and Leases so transferred and the proceeds thereof would not constitute “property of the estate” of the seller for purposes of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code and would not as a result of such proceeding be subject to the automatic stay of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; and

     (xvii) In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding of TRIP Leasing, TRIP Holdings or TILC under the Bankruptcy Code, a court properly presented with the facts would not grant an order substantively consolidating the assets and liabilities of the Issuer with those of TRIP Leasing, TRIP Holdings or TILC.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnifying party, be counsel to the indemnified party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which such indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other from the offering of the Offered Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer bear to the total discounts, commissions and fees received by the Initial Purchaser from the Issuer under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings or the Initial Purchaser and the parties’

relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total discounts, commissions and fees received by the Initial Purchaser from the Issuer. The obligations of the Initial Purchaser in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.

          (e) The obligations of the Issuer, TILC and TRIP Holdings under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuer, TILC or TRIP Holdings may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Initial Purchaser under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which it may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Issuer, TILC or TRIP Holdings within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

     9. Default of Purchasers. If the Initial Purchaser defaults in its obligations to purchase Offered Notes hereunder and arrangements satisfactory to the Issuer for the purchase of such Offered Notes by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of the Issuer or TILC, except as provided in Section 10. As used in this Agreement, the term “Purchaser” includes any person substituted for a Purchaser under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve the defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability for its default.

     10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing, TRIP Holdings or their respective officers and of the Initial Purchaser set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser, the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing, TRIP Holdings or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Notes. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Notes by the Initial Purchaser is not consummated, the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by them pursuant to Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing, TRIP Holdings, and the Initial Purchaser pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect. Further, if the purchase of the Offered Notes by the Initial Purchaser is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9, the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings will reimburse the Initial Purchaser for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Notes.

     11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Initial Purchaser will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10010-3629, Attention: Asset Finance Group; if sent to the Issuer or TILC or, as the case may be, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at c/o Trinity Industries Leasing Company, 2525 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75207, Attention: Vice President Leasing Operations Re: (TRIP Rail Master Funding LLC).

     12. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder, except that holders of Offered Notes shall be entitled to enforce the agreements for their benefit contained in the second and third sentences of Section 5(b) hereof against the Issuer as if such holders were parties thereto.

     13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

     14. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings acknowledges and agrees that:

          (a) The Initial Purchaser has been retained solely to act as the initial purchaser in connection with the initial purchase, offering and resale of the Offered Notes and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between any of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Offering Document, irrespective of whether the Initial Purchaser has advised or is advising the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings on other matters;

          (b) the purchase and sale of the Offered Notes pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Offered Notes and any related discount and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction among the Initial Purchaser, the Issuer and TILC and the Issuer and TILC are capable of evaluating and understanding, and do understand and hereby accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

          (c) the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings have been advised that the Initial Purchaser and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings and that the Initial Purchaser has no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to any of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

          (d) each of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Initial Purchaser for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Initial Purchaser shall not

have any liability (whether direct or indirect) to any of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of any of the Issuer, TILC TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing or TRIP Holdings.

     15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

     Each of the Issuer, TILC, TRIP Leasing and TRIP Holdings hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

     16. No Petition in Bankruptcy. The Initial Purchaser agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Offered Notes, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer an action in bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

     17. Integration. As to the matters set forth in this Agreement, so long as this Agreement is in full force and effect, the provisions herein shall supersede any and all prior agreements as to such subject matter, including, but not limited to, the Engagement Letter.

     If the foregoing is in accordance with the Initial Purchaser’s understanding of our agreement, kindly sign and return to us one of the counterparts hereof, whereupon it will become a binding agreement between the Issuer, TILC and TRIP Holdings and the Initial Purchaser in accordance with its terms.
