Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Union Tank Car Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
proposes to sell to the underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the
"Underwriters"), for whom you (the "Representatives") are acting as
representatives, the principal amount of its securities identified in Schedule
I hereto (the "Securities"), to be issued under an indenture dated as of
January 16, 1997 (as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated
as of May 28, 1997, the "Indenture"), between the Company and Harris Trust and
Savings Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"). If the firm or firms listed in
Schedule II hereto include only the firm or firms listed in Schedule I hereto,
then the terms "Underwriters" and "Representatives", as used herein, shall each
be deemed to refer to such firm or firms.
1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and
warrants to, and agrees with you, that:
(a) The Company meets the requirements for the use of Form S-3
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and has filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration
statement (File No. 333-17121) on such Form, including a basic
prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale
<PAGE> 2
of the Securities. The Company may have filed one or more amendments
thereto, and may have used a Preliminary Final Prospectus, each of which
has previously been furnished to you. Such registration statement, as so
amended, has become effective. The offering of the Securities is a Delayed
Offering (as specified in Schedule I hereto) and, although the Basic
Prospectus may not include all the information with respect to the
Securities and the offering thereof required by the Act and the rules
thereunder to be included in the Final Prospectus, the Basic Prospectus
includes all such information required by the Act and the rules thereunder
to be included therein as of the Effective Date. The Company will next
file with the Commission pursuant to Rules 415 and 424(b)(2) or (5) a final
supplement to the form of prospectus included in such registration
statement relating to the Securities and the offering thereof. As filed,
such final prospectus supplement shall include all required information
with respect to the Securities and the offering thereof and, except to the
extent the Representatives shall agree in writing to a modification, shall
be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the
Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall
contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond
that contained in the Basic Prospectus and any Preliminary Final
Prospectus) as the Company has advised you, prior to the Execution Time,
will be included or made therein.
(b) On the Effective Date, the Registration Statement did or
will, and when the Final Prospectus is first filed (if required) in
accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus
(and any supplement thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act") and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the "Trust
Indenture Act") and the respective rules thereunder; on the Effective Date,
the Registration Statement did not or 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 not
misleading; on the Effective Date and on the Closing Date the Indenture did
or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust
Indenture Act and the rules thereunder; and, on the Effective Date, the
Final Prospectus, if not filed pursuant to Rule 424(b), did not or will
not, and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the
Closing Date, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto)
will not, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties
as to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute
the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) under the Trust
Indenture Act of the Trustee or (ii) the information contained in or
omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any
supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter
through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Registration
Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being
understood and agreed that the only information furnished by the
Representatives consists of (i) the stabilization language
-2-
<PAGE> 3
appearing on the top of page S-2 and (ii) the information relating to the
Underwriters set forth under the caption "Underwriting," each as contained
in the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus.
(c) The terms which follow, when used in this Agreement, shall
have the meanings indicated. The term "the Effective date" shall mean each
date that the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment or
amendments thereto became or become effective and each date after the date
hereof on which a document incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement is filed. "Execution Time" shall mean the date and time that
this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto. "Basic
Prospectus" shall mean the prospectus referred to in paragraph (a) above
contained in the Registration Statement at the Effective Date including, in
the case of a Non-Delayed Offering, any Preliminary Final Prospectus.
"Preliminary Final Prospectus" shall mean any preliminary prospectus
supplement to the Basic Prospectus which describes the Securities and the
offering thereof and is used prior to filing of the Final Prospectus.
"Final Prospectus" shall mean the prospectus supplement relating to the
Securities that is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the Execution
Time, together with the Basic Prospectus or, if, in the case of a
Non-Delayed Offering, no filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) is required, shall
mean the form of final prospectus relating to the Securities, including the
Basic Prospectus, included in the Registration Statement at the Effective
Date. "Registration Statement" shall mean the registration statement
referred to in paragraph (a) above, including incorporated documents,
exhibits and financial statements, as amended at the Execution Time (or, if
not effective at the Execution Time, in the form in which it shall become
effective) and, in the event any post-effective amendment thereto becomes
effective prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), shall also
mean such registration statement as so amended. Such term shall include
any Rule 430A Information deemed to be included therein at the Effective
Date as provided by Rule 430A. "Rule 415", "Rule 424", "Rule 430A" and
"Regulation S-K" refer to such rules or regulation under the Act. "Rule
430A Information" means information with respect to the Securities and the
offering thereof permitted to be omitted from the Registration Statement
when it becomes effective pursuant to Rule 430A. Any reference herein to
the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final
Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include

S-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the Effective Date
of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus,
any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may
be; and any reference herein to the terms "amend", "amendment" or
"supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic
Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall
be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the

issue date of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the
Final Prospectus, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference. A "Non-Delayed Offering" shall mean an offering of securities
which is intended to commence promptly
-3-
<PAGE> 4
after the effective date of a registration statement, with the result that,
pursuant to Rules 415 and 430A, all information (other than Rule 430A
Information) with respect to the securities so offered must be included in
such registration statement at the effective date thereof. A "Delayed
Offering" shall mean an offering of securities pursuant to Rule 415 which
does not commence promptly after the effective date of a registration
statement, with the result that only information required pursuant to Rule
415 need be included in such registration statement at the effective date
thereof with respect to the securities so offered. Whether the offering of
the Securities is a Non-Delayed Offering or a Delayed Offering shall be set
forth in Schedule I hereto.
(d) The consolidated financial statements incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement and Final Prospectus present fairly

Prospectus, at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the
Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the
requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus, except as otherwise
stated therein or contemplated thereby, there has been no material adverse
change in the condition, financial or otherwise, results of operations or
general affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
(g) The Company and each Significant Subsidiary (with such term
having the meaning attributed to it under Rule 405 under the Act) of the
Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is
chartered or organized, with full corporate power and authority to own its
properties and conduct its business as described in the Final Prospectus,
and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in
good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction which requires such
qualification wherein it owns or leases material properties or conducts
material business, except in such jurisdictions in which the failure to so
qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Company owns either directly or
indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of its
subsidiaries, free and clear of any lien, adverse claim, security interest
or other encumbrance.

3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Underwriters'

4. Agreements. The Company agrees with you that:
(a) The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration

the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration
Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus or any Preliminary
Final Prospectus) to the Basic Prospectus unless the Company has furnished
you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such
proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject
to the foregoing sentence, the Company will cause the Final Prospectus,
properly completed and any supplement thereto to be filed with the
Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the
time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the
Representatives of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise
the Representatives (i) when the Registration Statement, if it is not
effective at the Execution Time, and any amendment thereto, shall have
become effective, (ii) when the Final Prospectus, and any supplement
thereto, shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b),
(iii) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any
amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become
effective,
-6-
<PAGE> 7
(iv) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration
Statement or supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional
information, (v) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the
institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (vi) of
the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the
withdrawal thereof.
(b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is
required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of
which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would 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, or if it shall be necessary to amend
the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply
with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules and regulations
thereunder, the Company promptly will (i) prepare and file with the
Commission, subject to paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment or
supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment
which will effect such compliance and (ii) supply any supplemented
Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.
(c) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally
available to its security holders and to the Underwriters an earnings
statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will
satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and the applicable rules
and regulations thereunder.
(d) The Company will furnish to you and your counsel, without charge,
signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto)
and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or a dealer may
be required by the Act, as many copies of each Preliminary Final Prospectus
and the Final Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto
as you may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of
printing all documents relating to the offering.
(e) The Company will cooperate with you and your counsel to arrange
for the qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such
jurisdictions as you may reasonably designate, will maintain such
qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the
Securities and will cooperate with you and your counsel to arrange for the
determination of the legality of the Securities for purchase by
institutional investors; provided, however, that the Company will not be
required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in order to effect
such qualification.
(f) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the
Company will not, without the consent of the Representatives, offer, sell
or contract to sell, or
-7-
<PAGE> 8
otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or announce the offering of,
any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company (other than the
Securities).
(g) The Company confirms as of the date hereof that it is in
compliance with all provisions of Section 1 of Laws of Florida, Chapter 92-
198, An Act Relating to Disclosure of Doing Business with Cuba, and the
Company further agrees, if necessary, that if the Company commences
engaging in business with the government of Cuba or with any person or
affiliate located in Cuba after the date the Registration Statement becomes
or has become effective with the Commission or with the Florida Department
of Banking and Finance (the "Department"), whichever date is later, or if
the information reported in the Final Prospectus, if any, concerning the
Company's business with Cuba or with any person or affiliate located in
Cuba changes in any material way, the Company will provide the Department
notice of such business or change, as appropriate, in a form acceptable to
the Department.

In passing on the form of the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus
and each amendment and supplement thereto, such counsel may state that it has
not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the
statements made or included therein and takes no responsibility therefor and
that such opinion is based upon such counsel's examination of the Registration
Statement, the Final Prospectus as amended or supplemented, its activities in
connection with the preparation thereof and its participation in conferences
with certain officers and employees of the Company, its subsidiaries and its
affiliates and with representatives of Ernst & Young LLP and any others
referred to in such opinion, and subject to the same qualifications, such
counsel may also state that, although they are not passing upon, and do not
assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the
statements contained in the Registration Statement and Final Prospectus and
have not made any independent check or verification thereof, nothing has come
to their attention in their examination of the Registration Statement, their
participation in the preparation thereof and participation in the
above-referenced conferences that has caused them to believe that the
Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, contained an 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 not misleading, or
the Final Prospectus, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
(c) You shall have received from Mayer, Brown & Platt, your special
counsel, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the
issuance and sale of the Securities, the Indenture, the Registration Statement,
the Final Prospectus and other related matters as you may reasonably require,
and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they
request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.
(d) The Company shall have furnished to you a certificate of the Company,
signed by the President or any Vice President and the principal financial
officer of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers
of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the
Final Prospectus, any supplement to the Final Prospectus and this Agreement and
that:
-11-
<PAGE> 12
(i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this
Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of
the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date
and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied
all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or
prior to the Closing Date;
(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement has been issued and, to the Company's
knowledge, no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or
threatened; and
(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements
included and/or incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus,
there has been no material adverse change in the condition (financial
or other), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its
subsidiaries, whether or not arising from transactions in the
ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated
in the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(e) At the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, Ernst & Young LLP shall
have furnished to you a letter or letters, dated, respectively, as of the
Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory
to you, confirming that they are independent auditors within the meaning of the
Act and the applicable published rules and regulations thereunder and stating
in effect that:
(i) in their opinion the audited financial statements and financial
statement schedules included or incorporated in the Registration Statement
and the Final Prospectus and reported on by them comply in form in all
material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and
the Exchange Act and the related published rules and regulations;
(ii) on the basis of a reading of the latest unaudited financial
statements made available by the Company and its subsidiaries; carrying out
certain specified procedures (but not an examination in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards) which would not necessarily reveal
matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such
letter; a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders,
directors and executive committees of the Company and the Subsidiaries; and
inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for
financial and accounting matters of the Company and its subsidiaries as to
transactions and events subsequent to the date of the most recent audited
financial statements in or incorporated in the Final Prospectus, nothing
came to their attention which caused them to believe that:
-12-
<PAGE> 13
(1) any unaudited financial statements included or incorporated in
the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus do not comply in form
in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with
the published rules and regulations of the Commission with respect to
financial statements included or incorporated in quarterly reports on
Form-10-Q under the Exchange Act; and said unaudited financial statements
are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited financial
statements included or incorporated in the Registration Statement and the
Final Prospectus;
(2) with respect to the period subsequent to the date of the most
recent financial statements (other than any capsule information), audited
or unaudited, in or incorporated in the Registration Statement and the
Final Prospectus, there were any changes, at a specified date not more than
five business days prior to the date of the letter, in the borrowed debt of
the Company and its subsidiaries or capital stock of the Company, decreases
in the stockholders' equity of the Company and its subsidiaries as compared
with the amounts shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet
included or incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final
Prospectus, or for the period from the date of the most recent financial
statements included or incorporated in the Registration Statement and the
Final Prospectus to such specified date there were any decreases, as
compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year or quarter, as
the case may be in total revenues from net sales and services, or in income
before income taxes or net income, of the Company and its subsidiaries,
except in all instances for changes or decreases set forth in such letter,
in which case the letter shall be accompanied by an explanation by the
Company as to the significance thereof unless said explanation is not
deemed necessary by the Representatives; or
(3) the amounts included in any unaudited "capsule" information
included or incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final
Prospectus do not agree with the amounts set forth in the unaudited
financial statements for the same periods or were not determined on a basis
substantially consistent with that of the corresponding amounts in the
audited financial statements included or incorporated in the Registration
Statement and the Final Prospectus; and
(iii) they have performed certain other specified procedures as a result
of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial
or statistical nature (which is limited to accounting, financial or statistical
information derived from the general accounting records of the Company and its
subsidiaries) set forth in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus
and
-13-
<PAGE> 14
in Exhibit 12 to the Registration Statement, including the information
included or incorporated in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K,
incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and the
information included in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included or
incorporated in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,
incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus,
agrees with the accounting records of the Company and its
subsidiaries, excluding any questions of legal interpretation.
References to the Final Prospectus in this paragraph (e) include any
supplement thereto at the date of the letter.
(f) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of
which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any
amendment thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement
thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in
the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section 5 or
(ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or
affecting the business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries
the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above,
is, in the judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to
make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery
of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive
of any amendment thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any
supplement thereto).
(g) On the Closing Date, the Securities shall be rated at least "A3"
by Moody's Investor's Service Inc. and "A" by Standard & Poor's
Corporation, and the Company shall have delivered to the Representatives a
letter, dated the Closing Date, from each such rating agency, or other
evidence satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that the
Securities have such ratings.
(h) Subsequent to the Execution Time and prior to the Closing Date,
there shall not have occurred any downgrading nor shall any notice have
been given of (i) any intended or potential downgrading or (ii) any review
or possible change in the rating accorded the Company's debt securities by
the above-mentioned rating agencies as of the Execution Time.
(i) The Company shall have entered into the Indenture and the
Representatives shall have received original counterparts thereof and of
all other documents and agreements entered into in connection therewith.
(j) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to
you such further information, certificates and documents as you may
reasonably request.
-14-
<PAGE> 15
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 5 shall not have been
fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if
any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this
Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to you and your counsel, this Agreement and all your obligations
hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by you.
Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by
telephone or telegraph confirmed in writing.
6. Reimbursement of the Underwriters' Expenses. If the sale of the
Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to your
obligation set forth in Section 5 hereof is not satisfied, because of any
termination pursuant to Section 9 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or
failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply
with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by you, the Company
will reimburse you upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by
you in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.
7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and
agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within
the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them
may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state
statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the
Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Basic
Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, or in any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives
specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that the only
information furnished by the Representatives consists of (i) the stabilization
language appearing on the top of page S-2 and (ii) the information relating to
the Underwriters set forth under the caption "Underwriting," each as contained
in the Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus; provided, further
that such indemnity with respect to any Preliminary Final Prospectus shall not
inure to your benefit (or to the benefit of any person controlling you) if the
person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the
securities which are the subject thereof did not receive a copy of the Final
-15-
<PAGE> 16
Prospectus (or any amendments thereof or supplements thereto), excluding
documents incorporated therein by reference, at or prior to the confirmation of
the sale of such Securities to such person in any case where such delivery is
required by the Act and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact in
such Preliminary Final Prospectus was corrected in the Final Prospectus (or any
amendments thereof or supplements thereto). This indemnity agreement will be
in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the
Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the
meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with
reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives
specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing
indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
any Underwriter may otherwise have.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
7 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 this
Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof;
but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from
liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not
otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the
indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any
event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified
party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b)
above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the
indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the
indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which
case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and
expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties
except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be
satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's
election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including
local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs
and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the
indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel
with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or
targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
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, (iii) 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 the institution of such action or (iv) the
indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will
not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending
or threatened
-16-
<PAGE> 17
claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties
are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or
proceeding.
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b)
of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters agree to
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or
defending same) (collectively "Losses") to which the Company and one or more of
the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company and by the Underwriters from the
offering of the securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any
Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters
relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in
excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities
purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the
immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and
the Underwriters shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the
Company and of the Underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to
the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses), and
benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover
page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference
to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information
provided by the Company or the Underwriters. The Company and the Underwriters
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by
pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls an
Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each
director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same
rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the
Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer
of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each
director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this
paragraph (d).
8. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in your
absolute discretion by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and
payment for the Securities, if prior to such time (i) trading in securities
generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or
minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (ii) a banking
moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal, New York State
-17-
<PAGE> 18
or Illinois State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak
or material escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of
which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in
your judgment, impracticable to market the Securities.
9. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements,
representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or
its officers and of you set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of you or the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling
persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and
payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 6 and 7 hereof shall
survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
10. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and
effective only on receipt, and, if sent to you, will be mailed, delivered or
telegraphed and confirmed in the case of Solomon Brothers Inc at 7 World Trade
Center, New York, New York 10048, Attention: Legal Department; in the case of

Attention: Legal Department; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed,
delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at 225 West Washington Street,
Chicago, Illinois 60606, Attention: Secretary.
11. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers
and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and no
other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
12. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Exhibit 4(b)(4)
SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of May 28, 1997, is between
UNION TANK CAR COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and HARRIS
TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK, as trustee (herein called the "Trustee").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Company and the Trustee have entered into an Indenture (herein called
the "Indenture"), dated as of January 16, 1997. Capitalized terms used herein,
not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings given them in the
Indenture.
Section 9.1 of the Indenture provides that, under certain circumstances, a
supplemental indenture may be entered into by the Company and the Trustee
without the consent of any Holders of the Securities. In accordance with the
terms of Section 9.1(6) of the Indenture, the Company has authorized this
Second Supplemental Indenture which is in the form required by the terms of the
Indenture. This Second Supplemental Indenture modifies the terms and the
Indenture insofar as they are applicable to the Securities referred to herein
issued under the Indenture after the date of this Second Supplemental
Indenture.
The parties agree that all things necessary to make this Second
Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company and the Trustee and a
valid amendment of and supplement to the Indenture have been done.
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:
For and in consideration of the premises, it is mutually covenanted and
agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the
Securities referred to herein issued under the Indenture from and after the
date of this Second Supplemental Indenture, as follows:
1. Pursuant to Section 2.2, the form, terms and conditions of the
Securities to be issued pursuant to this Second Supplemental Indenture shall
be as follows:
(a) The Securities shall be entitled 7.45% Notes Due 2009.
(b) The Securities shall be limited in the aggregate principal
amount of $150,000,000 (except for Securities authenticated and delivered
upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other
Securities pursuant to Section 2.8, 2.9 or 2.12 of the Indenture).
<PAGE> 2
(c) The principal amount of the Securities shall mature on June 1, 2009,
subject to any declaration of acceleration of the maturity pursuant to
Section 6.2 of the Indenture or provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 6.3
of the Indenture.
(d) The Securities shall bear interest from June 2, 1997 at the rate of
7.45% per annum, payable on each June 1 and December 1, commencing on December
1, 1997, to the holders of record of the Securities on May 15 or November 15,
as the case may be, next preceding such February 1 or August 1. Interest on the
Securities will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.
(e) The Securities shall not be redeemable prior to maturity and the
Company shall have no obligation to redeem or purchase the Securities pursuant
to any sinking fund or analogous provision.
(f) The minimum denominations for the Securities shall be $1,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(g) The Securities shall be subject to defeasance in accordance with the
terms of Article VIII of the Indenture.
(h) The Securities shall be issued in the form of fully registered Global
Securities, which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depository Trust
Company, New York, New York (the "Depository") and registered in the name of
the Depository's nominee and the circumstances under which any Global Security
may be transferred to, and registered and exchanged for Securities registered
in the name of a Person other than the Depository shall be as set forth in
Section 2.8 of the Indenture. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest
payments on the Securities will be made to the Depository or its nominee;
provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be
made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Security Register.
The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with
Sections 2.3 and 2.15 of the Indenture, authenticate and deliver, such Global
Security or Securities substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.
Members of, or participants in, the Depository shall have no rights under
the Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the
Depository or its nominee. The Depository or its nominee may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the
absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the
Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository
or impair, as between the Depository and its agent members, the
-2-
<PAGE> 3
operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a
holder of any Security.
If at any time the Depository for a Global Security notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such
Global Security or if at any time the Depository for the Securities for
such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or
regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect
to such Global Security. If a successor Depository of such Global Security
is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives
such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility or an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Company will execute, and the Trustee
upon receipt of an order of the Company for the authentication and delivery
of individual Securities of such series in exchange of such Global
Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of such
series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for
such Global Security.
(i) The denomination of the Securities shall be in U.S. dollars.
(j) The Securities shall not be issued in tranches.
(k) The principal amount of the Securities payable at maturity shall
not be determined by the relationship between a denominated currency and
another currency.
2. This Second Supplemental Indenture does not modify the Indenture in any
respect with regard to Securities issued thereunder prior to the date of this
Second Supplemental Indenture.
This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
-3-
<PAGE> 4
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Trustee have caused this Second
Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized and the seal of the Company and the Trustee duly
attested to be hereunto affixed all as of the date and year first above
written.

the Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and
any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other

7.45% NOTES DUE 2009
CUSIP 908584DK8
No. 001 US$150,000,000
UNION TANK CAR COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company", which term includes any
successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assignees, the
principal sum of One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000) on June 1,
2009, and to pay interest thereon from June 2, 1997, or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for,
semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1,
1997, at the rate of 7.45% per annum, until the principal hereof becomes due
and payable, and at such rate on any overdue principal and (to the extent that
the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) on any overdue
installment of interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture,
be paid to the Person in whose name this Debt Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business of the Regular
Record Date for such interest payment, which shall be the May 15 or November 15
(whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such
Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly
provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on
such Regular Record Date by virtue of his having been such Holder, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Debt Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Debt Securities of this
series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at
any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities exchange on which the Debt Securities of this series may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more
fully provided in said Indenture.
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this
Debt Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of Chicago and State of
Illinois, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be

This security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company (the "Debt Securities"), issued or to be issued in one or more series
under an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of January 16, 1997, as
supplemented by the second supplemental indenture thereto, dated as of May 28,
1997, each between the Company and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as trustee
(the "Trustee", which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture),
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties
and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Debt Securities and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to
be, authenticated and delivered. This Debt Security is one of the series
designated on the face hereof limited in aggregate principal amount to
$150,000,000.
The Debt Securities of this series are not subject to redemption prior to
maturity.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of this series
shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all the Debt
Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and
with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities to be affected
under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent
of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Debt Securities to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt securities of any series at the time outstanding,
on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt Securities of such series, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Debt Security and of any Debt
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Debt Security.
Holders of Debt Securities may not enforce their rights pursuant to the
Indenture or the Debt Securities except as provided in the Indenture. No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debt Security or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on this Debt Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.
The Debt Securities of this series are issuable in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Debt Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Debt Securities of this series of different authorized
denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth,
the transfer of this Debt Security is registerable in the Security Register of
the Company, upon surrender of this Debt Security

for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the City
of Chicago and State of Illinois, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security
Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Debt Securities of
this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
This Debt Security is in the form of a Global Security as provided in
the Indenture. If at any time the Depository notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for this Debt Security or if at
any time the Depository for this series shall no longer be eligible or in good
standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other
applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor
Depository with respect to this Debt Security. If a successor Depository for
this Debt Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the
Company receives notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will execute, and the
Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication
and delivery of certificates representing Debt Securities of this series in
exchange for this Debt Security, will authenticate and deliver, certificates
representing Debt Securities of this series of like tenor and terms in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Debt Security
in exchange for this Debt Security.
The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
this Debt Security or portion hereof shall no longer be represented in the form
of a Global Security. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and delivery of
certificates representing Debt Securities of this series in exchange in whole
or in part for this Debt Security, will authenticate and deliver certificates
representing Debt Securities of this series of like tenor and terms in
definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of this Debt Security or portion hereof in exchange for this Debt Security.
If specified by the Company pursuant to the Indenture with respect to
this Debt Security, the Depository may surrender this Debt Security in exchange
in whole or in part for certificates representing Debt Securities of this
series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are
acceptable to the Company and the Depository. Thereupon the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver, without a
service charge, (1) to each Holder specified by the Security Registrar or the
Depository a certificate or certificates representing Debt Securities of this
series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested
by such person in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for
such Holder's beneficial interest as specified by the Security Registrar or the
Depository in this Debt Security; and (2) to the Depository a new Global
Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the
difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Debt
Security and the aggregate principal amount of certificates representing Debt
Securities delivered to Holders thereof.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentation of this Debt Security for registration or
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Debt

respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture
supplemental hereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liabilities being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration
for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
