General Discussion for TRP Notes and Triumph Notes
The Notes were offered and sold in private placements solely to qualified
institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and to persons who are not U.S. persons in
offers and sales that occurred outside the United States in reliance on
Regulation S under the Securities Act, pursuant to note purchase agreements as
described in the Company's Form 8-K filed May 5, 2021 (for the TRP Notes) and in
the Company's Form 8-K filed June 1, 2021 (for the Triumph Notes).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


While the stated final maturity of the Notes is June 15, 2051, cash flow from
the assets of TRP-2021 and Triumph Rail will be applied, pursuant to the payment
priorities of their respective Indenture, so as to amortize their respective
Notes to achieve monthly targeted principal balances. If the cash flow
assumptions used in determining the targeted balances are met, it is anticipated
that the Notes will be repaid well in advance of their stated final maturity
date. There can be no assurance, however, that such cash flow assumptions will
be realized. In addition, the Notes may be subject to acceleration upon the
occurrence of certain events of default under the Indentures, including a
failure to pay interest on the Notes, and a failure of the Notes to amortize to
the extent that, over time, the outstanding principal balance of the TRP Notes
or the Triumph Notes was to eventually exceed the sum of the depreciated value
of the applicable Railcar Portfolio and the amounts on deposit in certain
accounts of TRP-2021 or Triumph Rail, as applicable. The decision whether to
accelerate or exercise other remedies against TRP-2021 or Triumph Rail and their
respective assets will be under the control of holders representing a majority
of the senior class of the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Notes
issued on the Closing Date together with any subsequent issuances of notes under
the applicable Indenture and, after payment in full of all of such notes,
holders representing a majority of the outstanding principal balance of the TRP
Class E Certificates or Triumph Class E Certificates, as applicable.
As noted above, the TRP Notes and the TRP Class E Certificates are solely the
obligations of TRP-2021 and the Triumph Notes and the Triumph Class E
Certificates are solely the obligations of Triumph Rail. TILC has, however,
entered into certain agreements relating to the management and servicing of
TRP-2021's and Triumph Rail's assets. These agreements contain certain
representations, undertakings and indemnities customary for service providers in
transactions of this type.
Term Loan Agreement
On the Closing Date, TRIP Railcar drew down $329.6 million of the $335.0 million
available under its Term Loan Agreement dated May 18, 2021 (the "Loan
Agreement"), among TRIP Railcar, as borrower, TILC, TRIP Holdings, the lenders
party thereto (the "Lenders"), Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch, as agent for
the Lenders, and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent and
depositary. TRIP Railcar used these proceeds to purchase approximately 6,478
railcars and related operating leases from Triumph Rail. These railcars, their
operating leases, and other assets of TRIP Railcar secure TRIP Railcar's
obligations under the Loan Agreement.
