Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 22, 2024, Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”) and Trinity Rail Leasing 2021 LLC (“TRL-2021”), both subsidiaries of Trinity Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities LLC, ATLAS SP Securities, a division of Apollo Global Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC, and Regions Securities LLC (the “Initial Purchasers”). The Note Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance and sale of an aggregate principal amount of $432,430,000 of TRL-2021’s Series 2024-1 Class A Green Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the “Notes”) to the Initial Purchasers. The Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.78%, will be payable monthly, and will have a stated final maturity date of May 19, 2054. The Initial Purchasers are expected to resell the Notes pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation S thereunder.
The Notes will be secured by (among other things) approximately 12,746 railcars and operating leases thereon, which TRL-2021 is purchasing or has previously purchased from TILC and from TILC’s affiliates, Trinity Rail Leasing Warehouse Trust and Trinity Rail Leasing VII LLC. The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions for a transaction of this type. The Note Purchase Agreement also contains customary provisions pursuant to which TILC and TRL-2021 agree to hold harmless and indemnify the Initial Purchasers against damages under certain circumstances, which are customary for a transaction of this type.
The issuance and sale of the Notes are part of an asset backed securitization which, subject to satisfaction of a variety of customary conditions precedent, is scheduled to close on or about May 30, 2024. The Company can give no assurance that the transaction will close on that date or at all.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons, except to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A and to certain persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. This filing shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the Notes or any other securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
A copy of the Note Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference. The description of the Note Purchase Agreement contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the exhibit.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are not historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements about the Company’s estimates, expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, including the expected closing of the issuance of the Notes. The assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, future financial and operating performance, future opportunities and any other statements regarding events or developments that the Company believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or our present expectations, including but not limited to risks and uncertainties regarding economic, competitive, governmental, and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, markets, products, services and prices, and such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. In particular, the closing of the issuance of the Notes is subject to general market and other conditions, which in turn are subject to a broad range of risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company, and there are no assurances that the closing will be completed when expected or at all. For a discussion of such risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recent fiscal year, as may be revised and updated by the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
1. Introductory. Trinity Rail Leasing 2021 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”) and a direct, wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell to Wells Fargo Securities LLC (“Wells”), ATLAS SP Securities, a division of Apollo Global Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC and Regions Securities LLC (each, an “Initial Purchaser” and collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”) U.S.$432,430,000 principal amount of its Series 2024-1 Class A Green Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the “Class A Notes” or the “Offered Notes”), to be issued pursuant to the Master Indenture, dated June 30, 2021 (the “Master Indenture”), as supplemented by the Series 2024-1 Supplement thereto (the “Series 2024-1 Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Master Indenture, the


“Indenture”), to be dated on or about May 30, 2024, between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Trustee”). The United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are herein referred to as the “Securities Act.” Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Offering Circular (as defined below).
2. Representations and Warranties of the Issuer and TILC. Each of the Issuer and TILC, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Initial Purchasers that, as of the date hereof (unless otherwise indicated below):
(a) The Issuer has prepared a preliminary offering circular dated May 15, 2024 (the “Preliminary Offering Circular”), and the Issuer will prepare a final offering circular dated the date hereof (the “Offering Circular”), in each case relating to the Offered Notes to be offered by the Initial Purchasers. The Preliminary Offering Circular and the Offering Circular, together with any General Use Issuer Free Writing Communication (as hereinafter defined) and all amendments and supplements to such documents, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Offering Document”.
The Offering Document at a particular time means the Offering Document in the form actually amended or supplemented and issued at that time. “Final Offering Document” means the Offering Document that discloses the offering price and other final terms of the Offered Notes and is dated as of the date of this Note Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) (even if finalized and issued subsequent to the date of this Agreement). “General Disclosure Package” means the Preliminary Offering Circular, together with any General Use Issuer Free Writing Communications (as hereinafter defined) at the Applicable Time (as hereinafter defined) considered together with the offering price on the cover page of the Offering Circular and the information contained in Schedule D hereto. “Applicable Time” means 3:04 P.M. (New York time) on the date of this Agreement. As of its date and as of the Closing Date, the Final Offering Document will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. At the Applicable Time, neither (i) the Preliminary Offering Circular, (ii) the General Disclosure Package, nor (iii) any individual Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Communication (as hereinafter defined), when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, contained, nor as of the Closing Date will contain, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, or will omit, to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Offering Document, the General Disclosure Package or any Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Communication (as hereinafter defined) based upon written information furnished to the Issuer or TILC by the Initial Purchasers specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.
“Free Writing Communication” means a written communication (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Offered Notes and is made by means other than the Preliminary Offering Circular or the Offering Circular. “Issuer Free Writing Communication” means a Free Writing Communication prepared by or on behalf of, or authorized for distribution to investors by, the
2

Issuer or TILC or used or referred to by the Issuer or TILC, in the form retained in the records of the Issuer or TILC. “General Use Issuer Free Writing Communication” means any Issuer Free Writing Communication that is intended for general distribution to prospective investors and is set forth on Schedule B hereto. “Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Communication” means any Issuer Free Writing Communication that is not a General Use Issuer Free Writing Communication and is set forth on Schedule C hereto.
(b) The Issuer has been duly formed and is a validly existing limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware, with power and authority (as a limited liability company and otherwise) to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the General Disclosure Package or Additional Issuer Information (as hereinafter defined); and the Issuer is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification.

(e) Except as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, no consent, approval, authorization, order of, filing with, or any other action by any governmental agency or body or any court is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document in connection with the issuance of the Offered Notes and sale of the Offered Notes.
(f) The execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture, this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and the issuance of the Offered Notes and sale of the Offered Notes and compliance with the terms and provisions thereof by the Issuer or TILC, as the case may be, will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or conflict with, (i) any statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Issuer or TILC or
3

any of their respective properties, or (ii) any agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or TILC is a party or by which the Issuer or TILC is bound or to which any of the properties of the Issuer or TILC are subject, or (iii) the limited liability company agreement or certificate of formation of the Issuer or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of TILC. The Issuer has full power and authority to sell the Offered Notes as contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, the Issuer has good and marketable title to all real properties and all other properties and assets owned by it, free from liens, encumbrances and defects that would materially affect the value thereof or materially interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by it; and except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, the Issuer holds any leased real or personal property held by it under valid and enforceable leases with no exceptions that would materially interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by it.
(i) Each of the Issuer and TILC possesses all material certificates, authorities or permits issued by appropriate governmental agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by it and has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authority or permit that, if determined adversely to the Issuer or TILC, as applicable, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Issuer or TILC, as applicable, taken as a whole (“Material Adverse Effect”).
(j) Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, neither the Issuer nor TILC is in violation of any statute, any rule, regulation, decision or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, relating to the use, disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or relating to the protection or restoration of the environment or human exposure to hazardous or toxic substances (collectively, “environmental laws”), nor owns or operates any real property contaminated with any substance that is subject to any environmental laws, is liable for any off-site disposal or contamination pursuant to any environmental laws, or is subject to any claim relating to any environmental laws, which violation, contamination, liability or claim would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect; and neither the Issuer or TILC is aware of any pending investigation which might lead to such a claim.
(k) Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, there are no pending actions, suits, proceedings or investigations against or affecting the Issuer or TILC or their respective properties that, if determined adversely to the Issuer or TILC, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Issuer or TILC to perform its obligations under the Indenture, this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, or would seek to materially and adversely affect the federal income tax attributes of the Offered Notes, or which are otherwise material in the context of the sale of the Offered Notes; and no such actions, suits, proceedings or investigations are threatened or, to the Issuer’s or TILC’s knowledge, contemplated.
4

(l) Since December 31, 2023, there has been no material adverse change, nor any development or event involving a prospective material adverse change, in each case, other than as disclosed in the Offering Document, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of TILC and TILC’s subsidiaries taken as a whole.
(m) The Issuer is not, and is not controlled by, an “investment company” registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Offered Notes and the application of proceeds thereof as described in the Offering Document, will not be, and will not be controlled by, an “investment company” registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act. The Issuer will not be an “investment company” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exemptions or exclusions available to the Issuer. The Issuer is not relying on the exemptions set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. The Issuer does not constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the banking regulations adopted under Section 13 of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, commonly known as the “Volcker Rule”.
(n) No securities of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A(d)(3) under the Securities Act) as the Offered Notes are listed on any national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Exchange Act”) or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system. The securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”). The General Disclosure Package contains, and the Offering Document will contain, all the information specified in and meeting the requirements of Rule 144A.
(o) No member of the “expanded group” (including any “controlled partnership” with respect thereto), if any, of which the Issuer is a member (or, in the event the Issuer is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of which the Issuer’s owner is a member or controlled partnership with respect thereto) has purchased, or is purchasing, any of the Offered Notes. For these purposes, “controlled partnership” and “expanded group” are defined in Treasury Regulation sections 1.385-1(c)(1) and 1.385-1(c)(4), respectively.
(p) Assuming the representations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 4(a) and (b) are true and accurate, the offer, sale and delivery of the Offered Notes to the Initial Purchasers and to subsequent purchasers in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the Offering Document will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and it is not necessary to qualify an indenture in respect of the Offered Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).
(q) Neither the Issuer or TILC, or any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom no such representation is made) (i) has, within the six-month period prior to the date hereof, offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. person (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)) the Offered Notes or any security of the same class or series as the Offered Notes or (ii) has offered or will offer or sell the Offered Notes (A) in the United States by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act or (B) with respect to any such securities sold in reliance on
5

Rule 903 of Regulation S, by means of any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Rule 902(c) of Regulation S. The Issuer, TILC, and their respective affiliates and any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom no such representation is made) have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. Neither the Issuer or TILC has entered and none will enter into any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution of the Offered Notes except for this Agreement.
(r) The proceeds to the Issuer from the offering of the Offered Notes and the related transactions will not be used to purchase or carry any security (except as contemplated in Permitted Investments in respect of the Indenture Accounts).
(s) There is no “substantial U.S. market interest” as defined in Rule 902(j) of Regulation S in the Issuer’s debt securities.
(t) Except as contemplated in the applicable Engagement Letter (as defined below) and as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Issuer or TILC and any person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Issuer or TILC, or any Initial Purchaser for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other like payment.
(u) On the Closing Date, the Issuer will own all of its right, title and interest in and to the Railcars, together with the related Leases thereon and certain other related assets specified therein, free and clear of any lien, mortgage, pledge, charge, encumbrance, adverse claim or other security interest (collectively, “Liens”), except to the extent permitted in the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, as applicable.
(v) As of the Closing Date, each of the representations and warranties of the Issuer or TILC set forth in each of the Transaction Documents to which they are parties will be true and correct in all material respects.
(w) Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges that would be incurred by reason of the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery and sale of the Offered Notes and that would be due and payable as of the Closing Date have been or will be paid prior to the Closing Date.

6

Neither the Issuer nor TILC 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(a)(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.
(j) The Issuer, TILC or any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to which no agreement is being made pursuant to this clause (j)), shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Offered Notes in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Offered Notes or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Offered Notes for purposes of the rules and regulations of any trading market.
(k) The Issuer and TILC (the “Indemnitors”) jointly and severally will indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers against any documentary, stamp or similar issuance tax, including any interest and penalties, on the creation and issuance of the Offered
15

Notes, and on the sale of the Offered Notes and on the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All payments to be made by the Issuer or TILC under this Agreement shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges whatsoever unless the Issuer or TILC is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties or charges. In that event, the Issuer or TILC, 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 such 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 such Initial Purchaser’s entitlement to a complete exemption for such taxes and withholdings. Furthermore, the Indemnitors hereby request that each Initial Purchaser hereby provides to them IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, whichever is applicable, to the extent not already provided.
(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 or TILC, the Issuer or TILC, 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.
(m) The cash proceeds of the Offered Notes, together with any necessary capital contribution made by TILC to the Issuer, will be used by the Issuer as follows: (i) to add funds to the Collections Account in connection with the issuance of the Offered Notes, if necessary to assure sufficient funds are available for payments on the first Payment Date falling after the Closing Date; (ii) to pay certain costs of issuance; and (iii) to fund cash payments to the Sellers as the purchase price for the Issuer’s acquisition of the additional Railcars from the Sellers, at a price equal to the Railcars’ Initial Appraised Value.

(a) Each of the Issuer and TILC, jointly and severally, represents and agrees that, without the prior consent of the Initial Purchasers, and each Initial Purchaser severally represents and agrees that, without the prior consent of TILC and the Initial Purchasers, 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 Purchasers is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Communication.” The parties hereto agree that the Issuer Free Writing Communications listed on Schedules B and C hereto are each Permitted Free Writing Communications.

(ix) Such counsel have no reason to believe that (i) the Preliminary Offering Circular or (ii) the Final Offering Document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the Applicable Time and as of the Closing Date, contained or contains 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 or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

20

(xiv) (A) In a properly presented and decided case, in the event TILC became a debtor in a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy case under the Bankruptcy Code, the bankruptcy court would not substantially consolidate the assets and liabilities of the Issuer with those of TILC, and (B) in a properly presented and decided case, in the event TILC, TRL VII or TRLWT became a debtor in a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy case under the Bankruptcy Code, the bankruptcy court would determine that the transfer of the Transferred Assets by TILC, TRL VII or TRLWT to the Issuer pursuant to the Purchase and Contribution Agreement constitutes an assignment or sale of such assets to the Company by TILC, TRL VII or TRLWT, as opposed to being collateral for a loan by the Issuer to TILC, TRL VII or TRLWT.

21

prospective material adverse change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of each of the Issuer and TILC and its subsidiaries taken as a whole except as described in such certificate, (ii) nothing has come to such officer’s attention that would lead such officer to conclude that the General Disclosure Package included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, under the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading and (iii) since the date of the Offering Circular there shall not have been any change in the capital stock of TILC or the membership interests of the Issuer, or the long term debt of the Issuer or TILC except as described in such certificate.

(l) Each of TILC, TRLWT, TRL VII and the Issuer shall have delivered to the Initial Purchasers a certificate (it being understood that a certificate of TILC in its capacity as sole equity member and manager of the Issuer, TRLWT and TRL VII shall be sufficient for purposes of each such party’s compliance with this requirement), dated the Closing Date, of its secretary or other duly elected, qualified and acting officer certifying its certificate of incorporation, limited liability company agreement, bylaws or other organizational documents; board or similar resolutions authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, as applicable; and the incumbency of all officers that signed any of the Transaction Documents.

8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Issuer and TILC will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Initial Purchaser and (ii) its respective officers, partners, members, directors, employees, agents and affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the “Initial Purchaser Representatives”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Initial Purchaser or the Initial Purchaser Representatives may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) relate to, arise out of or are based upon (1) any breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Issuer or TILC contained herein, (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any document comprising a part of the Offering Document, any Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Communication or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Additional Issuer Information or (3) any omission or alleged omission to state, in any document comprising a part of the Offering Documents, any Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Communication, or any amendment of or supplement thereto, or any Additional Issuer Information, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, including, without limitation, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arising out of or based upon the Issuer’s or TILC’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5 of this Agreement, and will reimburse each Initial Purchaser and the Initial Purchaser Representatives for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that none of the Issuer or TILC will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer or
23

TILC by such Initial Purchaser specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.
(b) Each Initial Purchaser severally and not jointly will indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Issuer and TILC and (ii) their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer or TILC within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the “Seller Representatives”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Issuer, TILC or the Seller Representatives may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any document comprising a part of the Offering Document, any Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Communication or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary offering circular, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer or TILC by the Initial Purchasers specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuer, TILC or the Seller Representatives in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Initial Purchasers consists of the information in the Offering Document as highlighted in the excerpt from the Offering Document set forth on Schedule E hereto; provided, however, that the Initial Purchasers shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arising out of or based upon the Issuer’s or TILC’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement.
(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, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that differing interests may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate
24

counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties, and the indemnifying party will reimburse any legal expenses incurred by the indemnified party having separate counsel, as incurred. And after any such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, 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, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood that all such fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party for which the indemnifying party is liable shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall have no right to retain counsel or otherwise participate in or assume the defense or settlement of any such action brought by a governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization having or claiming to have jurisdiction over the business or financial affairs of the relevant indemnified party or any of its affiliates. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. 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, liabilities or expenses referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and TILC on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers 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 and TILC on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer and TILC on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers 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 Purchasers from the Issuer under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
25

statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer, TILC or the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses 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), no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total discounts, commissions and fees received by such Initial Purchaser from the Issuer and no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.
(e) The obligations of the Issuer and TILC under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuer or TILC may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of each 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 or TILC within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
9. Default of Initial Purchasers, Special Resolution Regime.
(a) If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for the Offered Notes agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchasers (the “Defaulting Initial Purchasers”) hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers (the “Non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers”) may make arrangements satisfactory to the Issuer for the purchase of the Offered Notes by other persons, including any of the Non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the Non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally and not jointly to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions that the amount of Offered Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule A bears to the aggregate amount of Offered Notes set forth opposite the names of all the Non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers) the Offered Notes which the Defaulting Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Offered Notes which the Defaulting Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of the Offered Notes set forth in Schedule A, the Non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Offered Notes. If the Non-Defaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Offered Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any Non-Defaulting Initial Purchaser, the Issuer or TILC, except as provided in Section 10. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes any person substituted for an Initial Purchaser under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve any Defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability for its default.
26

(b) In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Initial Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
For purposes of this Section 9(b):
“BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k).
“Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuer, TILC or their respective officers and of the Initial Purchasers 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 Purchasers, the Issuer or TILC, 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 Purchasers is not consummated, the Issuer and TILC 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 and the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect. Further, if the purchase of the Offered Notes by the Initial Purchasers is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9, the Issuer or TILC will
27

reimburse each Initial Purchaser for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by it in connection with the offering of the Offered Notes.
11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Initial Purchasers will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to each of the Initial Purchasers at its respective address below:

14. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Issuer and TILC acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Each Initial Purchaser has been retained solely to act as an initial purchaser in connection with the initial purchase, offering and resale of the Offered Notes, and no Initial Purchaser shall be liable to the Issuer or TILC for any losses, claims, damages or other liabilities with respect to any other Notes (as defined in the Master Indenture), and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between any of the Issuer or TILC or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees, on the one hand, and such 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 such Initial Purchaser has advised or is advising the Issuer or TILC 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 Purchasers, 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 and TILC have been advised that the Initial Purchasers and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Issuer and TILC and the Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to any of the Issuer or TILC by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and
(d) each of the Issuer or TILC waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against any Initial Purchaser for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that no Initial Purchaser shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect) to any of the Issuer or TILC 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 or TILC, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Issuer or TILC.
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 (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law).
Each of the Issuer and TILC hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York and
29

appellate courts from any thereof in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE OFFERED NOTES OR ANY OF THE OTHER OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS, WHICH WAIVER IS INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY.
16. No Petition in Bankruptcy. Each 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, such Initial Purchaser 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, except any Engagement Letter and any other fee arrangement entered into between any Initial Purchaser, the Issuer and TILC.
18. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto.
19. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement, unless such continued effectiveness of this Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.
20. USA Patriot Act. Each of the Issuer and TILC acknowledges that the Initial Purchasers are required by U.S. Federal law, in an effort to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or corporation who opens an account or enters into a business relationship with a financial institution.
