Each such Equipment Note shall evidence the loan made by the Loan Participant to the Owner, each such Equipment Note to be substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.01, with deletions and insertions as appropriate, duly authenticated by the Indenture Trustee and dated the Closing Date, and as having been issued in connection with the Equipment under a related Indenture Supplement. The Equipment Notes will be issued in registered form only.

     The principal amount of and interest on each Equipment Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture shall be payable on each Payment Date, and in the case of the principal amount of such Equipment Note, in installments payable on the date and in the amounts set forth in Annex A hereto. Interest is payable on the Equipment Notes at the Debt Rate (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) on the principal amount thereof remaining unpaid from time to time from and including the immediately preceding Payment Date to but excluding the date of payment.

     Each Equipment Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Late Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on any part of the principal amount, any Make-Whole Amount, if applicable, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest and any other amounts payable thereunder not paid when due for any period during which the same shall be overdue, in each case for the period the same is overdue. Amounts under any Equipment Note shall be overdue if not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise).

     The Equipment Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Owner by one of its authorized officers. Equipment Notes bearing the signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Owner shall bind the Owner, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Equipment Notes or did not hold such offices at the respective dates of such Equipment Notes. The Owner may from time to time execute and deliver Equipment Notes with respect to the Equipment to the Indenture Trustee for authentication upon original issue and such Equipment Notes shall thereupon be authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee upon the written request of the Owner signed by an authorized officer of the Owner.

     No Equipment Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless it shall have been authenticated by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by manual or facsimile signature.

8


 

[Trust Indenture and Security Agreement (GATX Trust No. 2008-2)]

amounts to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to satisfy the Owner’s obligation to make such payment. The Owner shall not have any responsibility for the distribution of such payment to any holder of an Equipment Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Equipment Note to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee will pay, or cause to be paid, if so requested by any holder of an Equipment Note by written notice to the Owner and the Indenture Trustee, all amounts payable by the Owner hereunder to such holder or a nominee therefor either (i) by transferring by wire in immediately available funds prior to 2:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois time on the due date of payment, to an account maintained by such holder with a bank in the United States the amount to be distributed to such holder or (ii) by mailing a check denominated in U.S. dollars to such holder at such address as such holder shall have specified in such notice. If the Indenture Trustee shall fail to make any such payment as provided in the immediately foregoing sentence after its receipt of funds at the place and prior to the time specified above, the Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity and not as trustee, agrees to compensate such holders for loss of use of funds at the then applicable federal funds rate until such payment is made and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to any interest earned on such funds until such payment is made. Any payment made hereunder shall be made without any presentment or surrender of any Equipment Note, except that, in the case of the final payment in respect of any Equipment Note, such Equipment Note shall be surrendered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation promptly after such payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to make, or cause to be made, wire transfers as aforesaid prior to the first Business Day on which it is practicable for the Indenture Trustee to do so in view of the time of day when the funds to be so transferred were received by it if such funds were received after 1:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois time, at the place of payment. So long as any signatory to the Participation Agreement or nominee thereof shall be a registered holder of an Equipment Note, all payments to it shall be made to the account of such holder specified in Schedule 2 thereto and otherwise in the manner provided in or pursuant to the Participation Agreement unless it shall have specified some other account or manner of payment by notice to the Indenture Trustee consistent with this Section 2.03.

          (b) Whenever the date scheduled for any payment to be made hereunder or under any Equipment Note shall not be a Business Day, then such payment need not be made on such scheduled date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such scheduled date and (provided such payment is made on such next succeeding Business Day) no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment from and after such scheduled date to the time of such payment on such next succeeding Business Day.

          (c) The Indenture Trustee, as agent for the Owner, shall exclude and withhold at the appropriate rate from each payment of principal of, interest on, any Make-Whole Amount, if applicable, and other amounts due hereunder or under each Equipment Note (and such exclusion and withholding shall constitute payment in respect of such Equipment Note) any and all United States withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by Law. The Indenture Trustee agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future United States taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable hereunder or in respect of the Equipment Notes, to withhold such amounts and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority in the name of and on behalf of the Note Holders, that it will file any necessary United States withholding tax returns or statements when due, and that as promptly as possible after the payment thereof it will deliver to each Note

[Trust Indenture and Security Agreement (GATX Trust No. 2008-2)]

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Owner determines in good faith that any Required Modification to a Unit would be economically impractical, in lieu of making the Required Modification as provided above, the Owner may provide written notice of such determination to the Indenture Trustee and treat such Unit as if an Event of Loss had occurred as of the date of such written notice with respect to such Unit and in such event the provisions of Sections 4.06(b) and 4.06(c) shall apply with respect to such Unit; provided that the Owner shall not discriminate against such Unit in making such determination of economic impracticality as compared with other equipment of the same type as such Unit which is owned or leased by the Owner.

          (b) Optional Modifications . The Owner at any time may in its discretion and at its own cost and expense modify, alter or improve any Unit in a manner which is not required by Section 4.05(a) (a “ Modification ”); provided that no Modification shall diminish the fair market value, utility or remaining economic useful life of such Unit below the fair market value, utility, or remaining economic useful life thereof immediately prior to such Modification, in any non de minimis respect, assuming such Unit was then in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture, provided that the Owner shall not discriminate against such Unit in making such modification, alteration or improvement as compared with other equipment of the same type as the Unit and which are owned or leased by the Owner. If the Owner shall at its cost cause any Severable Modifications to be made to any Unit, the Owner may, at any time, remove such Severable Modifications at its cost and expense and the Owner shall, at its expense, repair any damage resulting from the removal of any such Severable Modifications in a manner consistent with Section 4.04(a).

          (c) Additions Subject to Indenture . All parts incorporated or installed in or attached or added to the Equipment pursuant to Section 4.05(a) and all Non-Severable Modifications made pursuant to Section 4.05(b) shall, without further act, become subject to the Lien of this Indenture.

          (d) Removal of Property; Replacements . The Owner may, in the ordinary course of maintenance or repair of any Unit, remove any item of property constituting a part of such Unit, and unless the removal of such item is required by Section 4.05(a) hereof, the Owner shall replace such item as promptly as practicable by an item of property that is free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and in as good operating condition as, and with a fair market value, utility and remaining economic useful life at least equal to, the item of property being replaced, assuming that such replaced item was in the condition required to be maintained by the terms of this Indenture. All items at any time removed from such Unit in the ordinary course of maintenance and repair as provided in the preceding sentence shall remain subject to the Lien of this Indenture, no matter where located, until such time as such items shall be replaced in accordance with the terms specified above. Upon any replacement item of property becoming incorporated or installed in or attached to any Unit, without further act, (i) such replacement part shall become subject to the Lien of this Indenture and (ii) the replaced item of property shall no longer be subject to the Lien of this Indenture. Upon request of the Owner, the

     4.06. Loss, Destruction, Requisition, Etc.

          (a) Event of Loss . In the event that (a) any Unit (i) shall suffer damage or contamination which, in the Owner’s reasonable judgment (as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate to such effect), makes repair uneconomic or renders such Unit unfit for commercial use, (ii) shall suffer destruction, or shall suffer theft or disappearance (after reasonable efforts by the Owner to locate the same) for a period exceeding 12 months, (iii) shall be permanently returned to the manufacturer pursuant to any patent indemnity provisions, (iv) shall have title thereto taken or appropriated by any governmental authority, agency or instrumentality under the power of eminent domain or otherwise, or (v) shall be taken or requisitioned for use by any governmental authority or any agency or instrumentality thereof other than of the United States or Canada under the power of eminent domain or otherwise for a period in excess of 365 days or (b) the Owner makes the determination set forth in Section 4.05(a) (any such occurrence being hereinafter called an “ Event of Loss ”), the Owner, in accordance with the terms of Section 4.06(b), shall promptly and fully inform the Indenture Trustee of such Event of Loss.
