Item 1.   Business
 
GENERAL
 
GATX Corporation (“GATX” or the “Company”) leases, operates and manages long-lived, widely used assets in the rail, marine and industrial equipment markets. GATX also invests in joint ventures that complement existing business activities. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, GATX has three financial reporting segments: Rail, Specialty and American Steamship Company (“ASC”).
 
At December 31, 2007, GATX had balance sheet assets of $4.7 billion, comprised largely of railcars, marine vessels and joint venture investments. GATX also utilized approximately $1.2 billion of assets, primarily railcars, which were leased-in under operating leases and therefore were not recorded on the balance sheet.
 
In 2006, GATX entered into an agreement to sell the majority of its aircraft leasing business to Macquarie Aircraft Leasing Limited (“MALL”). The sale was completed in two stages: the sale of wholly owned aircraft closed on November 30, 2006, and the sale of partnered aircraft closed on January 17, 2007. Separately in 2006, GATX sold 26 wholly owned and partnered aircraft and its interest in Pembroke Group, a 50% owned aircraft leasing affiliate. These events resulted in the complete sale and disposition of GATX’s aircraft leasing operation (formerly the “Air” segment). Accordingly, Air has been segregated and classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
 
See discussion in Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding foreign operations and see Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements for details regarding each segment’s operating results.
 
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
Rail
 
Rail is principally engaged in leasing tank and freight railcars and locomotives in North America and Europe. At December 31, 2007, Rail had total assets of $5.0 billion, including $1.2 billion of off balance sheet assets. Rail’s railcar leasing customers are comprised primarily of shippers of chemical, petroleum and food products as well as railroads. Rail’s locomotive leasing customers are primarily Class I, regional and short-line railroads and industrial users. Worldwide, Rail provides more than 130 railcar types used to ship over 600 different commodities.
 
     
 
 
As of December 31, 2007, Rail’s worldwide fleet, comprised of wholly owned and leased-in railcars, totaled approximately 132,000 railcars. These cars have depreciable lives of 30 to 38 years and an average age of approximately 16 years in North America and 24 years in Europe. Rail also had an ownership interest in approximately 28,300 railcars worldwide through investments in affiliated companies, including 5,700 railcars in North America and 22,500 railcars in Europe. Affiliate fleets consist primarily of freight and intermodal railcars.

In North America, Rail purchases new railcars from a number of manufacturers, including Trinity Industries, Union Tank Car Company, American Railcar Industries, Inc., FreightCar America, National Steel Car Ltd. and The Greenbrier Companies. In 2002, Rail entered into agreements with Trinity Industries and Union Tank Car Company for the purchase of 5,000 and 2,500 newly manufactured railcars, respectively, the deliveries of which were essentially complete at December 31, 2007. During 2006, Rail signed a purchase agreement with American Railcar Industries, Inc. to acquire up to 4,000 newly manufactured railcars to be delivered through 2011. In December 2007, Rail agreed to purchase up to 3,000 new railcars from Trinity Industries to be delivered through 2011. In Europe, Rail acquires new railcars primarily from the IRS Group. Rail Europe also assembles a few hundred pressure tank cars each year at its Ostroda, Poland service center.

North America
 
At the end of 2007, there were approximately 1.4 million freight cars and 309,000 tank cars operating in North America. Rail’s freight car fleet comprised approximately 4% of all North American freight cars and Rail’s tank car fleet comprised approximately 20% of all North American tank cars. Rail’s primary competitors in North America are Union Tank Car Company, General Electric Railcar Services Corporation and various other lessors. Rail competes on the basis of customer relationships, service, price and availability of railcars.
 
In North America, Rail leases new railcars for terms that generally range from five to ten years. Renewals on existing leases are typically for periods ranging from five to seven years. The weighted average remaining lease term of the North American fleet was 4.5 years as of December 31, 2007. Rail primarily provides railcars pursuant to full-service leases under which it maintains the railcars, pays ad valorem taxes and insurance and provides other ancillary services. Rail also offers net leases for railcars and most of its locomotives, in which case the lessee is responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes. Rail had approximately 1,000 customers in 2007, with no single customer accounting for more than 4% of Rail’s lease income.
 
Rail operates an extensive network of service facilities across North America that performs significant repair, maintenance and regulatory compliance work on the fleet. This maintenance organization is dedicated to providing customers with timely, efficient and high quality repair services. Maintenance services include interior cleaning of railcars, general repairs to car body and safety appliances, regulatory compliance work, truck repairs, including replacement of worn parts, servicing and replacing wheels, side frames and bolsters, valve maintenance repair, exterior blast and paint, and car stenciling. In addition, to the extent possible, regulatory compliance work is conducted while cars are in the service centers for customer directed repairs, thereby minimizing the number of required service events. The Rail maintenance network consists of:
 
  •  Eight major service centers in North America. These full service facilities repair approximately 8,000 cars annually and can complete virtually any repair or modification project.
 
  •  Six customer dedicated sites operating solely within specific customer plants. Services offered at these sites are typically tailored to the needs of the customers’ fleet.

Table of Contents

 
  •  Seven “Fast Track” service centers, all operating in the United States. Fast Track service centers are smaller in size and scale than major service centers, primarily focusing on routine cleaning, repair and regulatory compliance services.
 
  •  Nineteen mobile repair units operating from various locations in North America. These repair trucks are able to travel to many field locations and provide specific repairs and interior cleaning services, avoiding the need to otherwise shop a railcar.
 
Rail’s repair network is supplemented by a number of approved third party service centers that adhere to GATX’s quality standards. In certain cases, third-party repair services are utilized via fixed-capacity contracts under which GATX has secured repair capacity in advance through term contracts. In 2007, these third party service centers accounted for approximately 41% of all North American service center maintenance costs (excluding the cost of repairs performed by railroads). Including both GATX owned and third party service centers, approximately 65,000 cars (which may include multiple independent service events for the same car) were serviced in 2007.
 
Rail’s North American operation also includes its locomotive leasing business, which consists of the purchasing, refurbishing and leasing of four- and six-axle locomotives. As of December 31, 2007, the fleet consisted of 615 units, 82% of which are four-axle and 18% are six-axle. Additionally, Rail manages 96 locomotives for an affiliate. Prior to 2007, Rail’s locomotive fleet consisted primarily of four-axle, medium horsepower locomotives. Four-axle locomotives have not been manufactured in any material quantity since the mid-1980’s but continue to be in demand by railroads and shippers. As a result, with periodic refurbishment, the four-axle fleet is expected to continue to be marketable and yield attractive returns. In 2007, Rail acquired 99 six-axle SD60 locomotives, expanding the locomotive operating lease business to include modern, high-horsepower locomotives. Rail will continue to look for opportunities to expand its presence in the six-axle market. Locomotive lease terms vary from month-to-month to 15 years, with a weighted average lease term of six years. The locomotives in Rail’s current portfolio have remaining depreciable lives ranging from 12 to 20 years. Major competitors in the North American locomotive leasing market are Helm Financial Corporation and National Railway Equipment Corporation. Competitive factors in the market include equipment condition, availability, customer service and pricing.
 
Europe
 
In Europe, Rail’s operations consist of its wholly owned subsidiaries in Germany, Austria and Poland. Rail operates in the home countries of each of its subsidiaries and leases railcars to customers in those countries as well as most other countries in Western, Central and Eastern Europe that utilize standard gauge rail. Rail’s customer base includes petroleum refining and marketing companies, chemical manufacturing companies, and transportation, forwarding and railway companies. The railcar fleet in Europe generally has lease terms ranging from one to five years, with a weighted remaining lease term of two years as of December 31, 2007. Rail also operates two repair facilities in Europe that perform significant repairs and regulatory compliance for owned railcars. The owned service centers are supplemented by a number of third party contract repair facilities, which in 2007 accounted for approximately 49% of fleet repair costs. In Europe, Rail principally competes on the basis of customer relationships, service, price and availability of railcars. Rail’s primary competitors in Europe are VTG Aktiengesellschaft, Ermewa, TransWaggon, and CTL Logistics Group.
 
Rail Affiliates
 
Rail has two notable investments in affiliated companies: a 50% interest in Southern Capital Corporation (“SCC”) and a 37.5% interest in AAE Cargo AG (“AAE”).
 
SCC is a joint venture with the Kansas City Southern Railroad (“KCSR”). The SCC joint venture was formed in 1996 and controls a mix of 4,198 freight cars and 96 locomotives, all of which are on lease to KCSR.
 
AAE is a Switzerland-based railcar lessor that as of December 31, 2007, owns approximately 22,500 freight cars with an average age of 9 years, comprised of 12,497 intermodal cars (55.5%), 4,834 covered cars (21.5%) and 5,192 other freight type cars (23.0%). AAE’s customer base consists of various railways throughout Europe as well as private operators. Utilization of AAE’s fleet has historically been very high and stood at 99.9% as of December 31, 2007.

Specialty
 
Specialty is primarily focused on providing leasing and related remarketing and asset management services in the marine and industrial equipment markets. The Specialty portfolio consists primarily of operating and direct finance lease assets; joint venture investments; loans; and interests in residual values involving a variety of underlying asset types, including marine, rail, industrial and other equipment. The portfolio provides recurring lease and interest income and periodic remarketing income primarily related to the sale of assets. At December 31, 2007, the net book value of the investments in the Specialty portfolio, including off balance sheet assets, was $521.4 million, of which approximately 47% were marine assets and 24% were industrial equipment assets.
 
 
Specialty also provides equipment residual value guarantees, which enable it to share in any asset value in excess of the guaranteed amount. As of December 31, 2007, Specialty was party to 58 such residual value guarantees that expire between 2008 and 2012. Specialty further leverages its equipment knowledge by managing portfolios of assets for third parties. The majority of these managed assets are in markets where GATX has traditionally had a high level of expertise, such as Rail and Air. Specialty generates fee income through portfolio administration and remarketing of these managed assets. As of December 31, 2007, the approximate net book value equivalent of Specialty’s managed portfolio was $378.1 million.
 
The following table sets forth information on Specialty’s owned and managed portfolio assets as of December 31 (in millions):
 
                                 
    On Balance
    Off Balance
          Managed
 
    Sheet     Sheet     Total     Assets

2005
    455.5       11.7       467.2       555.8  
 
The principal competitors of Specialty are captive leasing companies of equipment manufacturers, leasing subsidiaries of commercial banks and independent leasing companies. Factors that affect Specialty’s ability to compete are GATX’s relationships, equipment expertise, relative cost of funds, and the availability of other financing alternatives for our potential customers.
 
Specialty Affiliates
 
Specialty’s investments in affiliated companies primarily consist of an aircraft engine leasing joint venture and five marine joint ventures.
 
Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance Limited (“RRPF”) is a 50% owned joint venture with Rolls-Royce PLC, a leading manufacturer of commercial aircraft jet engines. RRPF provides short, medium and long-term spare engine leases and owns one of the largest spare engine portfolios in the industry, comprised of more than 290 aircraft

engines of Rolls-Royce and International Aero Engine types. RRPF brings high levels of technical, financial and leasing expertise to the market. Through RRPF, Rolls-Royce was one of the first Original Equipment Manufacturers to provide dedicated, long-term, spare engine leasing options.
 
Cardinal Marine Investments LLC (“Cardinal Marine”) is a 50% owned marine joint venture with IMC Holdings, a subsidiary of the IMC Pan Asia Alliance Group (“IMC”). IMC is a 50 year old Singapore-based owner-operator of over 80 vessels, including chemical tankers, dry bulk carriers, multipurpose cargo and offshore oil and gas carriers. Cardinal Marine owns six chemical parcel tankers (each with 45,000 dead weight tons (“dwt”) carrying capacity) that operate under a pooling arrangement with IMC’s other vessels in support of the movement of organic and inorganic chemicals, along with vegetable and other oils, and biofuels from the Middle East Gulf to Asia, the U.S. and Europe.
 
Somargas Limited and Singco are each 50% owned joint ventures with IM Skaugen ASA (“Skaugen”). Skaugen is a 90 year old Norwegian Company primarily engaged in the transport of petrochemical gases and the ship to ship transfer of crude oil. Somargas owns six liquid petroleum gas/ethylene vessels (each with 8,500 — 10,000 cubic meters (“cbm”) carrying capacity) and Singco is building four liquid petroleum gas/ethylene/liquefied natural gas vessels (each with 10,000 cbm carrying capacity). The Somargas vessels operate in a 44 vessel pooling arrangement controlled by Skaugen, primarily transporting ethylene between the Middle East Gulf and Asia.
 
Clipper Third Limited and Clipper Fourth Limited, respectively, are 50% and 45% owned joint ventures with Clipper Group Invest Ltd. (the “Clipper Group”). The Clipper Group is a leading international shipping consortium with over 35 years of experience in the shipping business. The Clipper Group controls a modern fleet of over 250 vessels, approximately 100 of which are wholly owned. Their fleet consists of handysize, handy max and panamax dry bulk carriers (15,000 — 80,000 dwt carrying capacity), multipurpose tonnage vessels (4,000 — 17,500 dwt carrying capacity), and chemical tankers (1,500 — 20,000 dwt carrying capacity), and are capable of handling a variety of cargo types. Clipper Third owns four handysize vessels (each with 27,000 dwt carrying capacity) that support the worldwide movement of dry bulk products such as grain, cement, coal and steel. Clipper Fourth owns 14 handysize chemical parcel tankers (each with 10,000-15,000 dwt carrying capacity). These 18 vessels operate under a pooling arrangement with the Clipper Group’s fleet in support of the worldwide movement of dry bulk commodities and organic, inorganic and specialty chemicals with a concentration in the Atlantic and Mediterranean trades.
 
ASC
 
ASC operates a fleet of self-unloading marine vessels on the Great Lakes and is exclusively engaged in the waterborne transportation of dry bulk commodities. ASC’s sailing season generally runs from April 1 through December 31; however, weather conditions permitting, certain vessels may operate through mid-January of the following year.
 
At December 31, 2007, ASC operated a fleet of 18 vessels and had total assets of $292.0 million. Fifteen of ASC’s vessels are diesel powered vessels constructed in the 1970’s and early 1980’s, having an average age of 31 years and an estimated useful life of 50 years. These vessels range in size from approximately 635 feet to 1,000 feet long and can carry from 23,800 to 80,900 gross tons per trip. The three remaining vessels are steam powered vessels built in the 1940’s and 1950’s and have an estimated remaining useful life of ten years. The steamer vessels range in size from 690 to 767 feet and can carry from 22,300 to 26,300 gross tons per trip. ASC’s vessels operate exclusively in the fresh water conditions of the Great Lakes and as a result, with proper care and maintenance, may achieve extended use well beyond the useful life estimates.

Table of Contents

All of ASC’s vessels are equipped with self-unloading equipment, enabling them to discharge dry bulk cargo without assistance from shore-side equipment or personnel. This equipment enables the vessels to operate twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. ASC’s vessels are capable of transporting and unloading almost any free flowing, dry bulk commodity. ASC’s customers are primarily consumers of iron ore, western and eastern coal, metallurgical limestone and limestone aggregates. ASC served over 35 customers in 2007 with the top five customers comprising 68% of ASC’s total revenue.
 
     
 
 
ASC operates pursuant to contractual commitments with customers to carry a stipulated range of freight volume each year. Committed volume is supplemented with spot opportunities. In 2007, ASC carried 37.3 million net tons of cargo including both contracted volume and spot business. ASC’s customer portfolio has remained relatively stable over the past three years and includes a mix of companies in the steel production, power generation and construction industries. Seventeen of the vessels in ASC’s fleet are used to service these contracts and spot business. ASC’s remaining vessel operates under a long-term time charter agreement that is scheduled to expire in 2015.
 
In 2007, for the markets that ASC serves, there were approximately 99 million net tons of freight volume carried by United States-Flag vessels on the Great Lakes. This freight volume was distributed among approximately 50 vessels, of which ASC’s fleet carried approximately 38%. ASC’s primary competitors on the domestic Great Lakes are Grand River Navigation, Great Lakes Fleet, Inc., Interlake Steamship Company, K & K Integrated Logistics, VanEnkevort Tug and Barge, Upper Lakes Towing, and Wisconsin & Michigan Steamship Company. ASC principally competes on the basis of price, customer relationships and service capabilities.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
GATX’s operations, as well as those of its competitors, are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign environmental regulations. These laws cover discharges to waters; air emissions; toxic substances; and the generation, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of waste and hazardous materials. These regulations have the effect of increasing the cost and liability associated with leasing and operating assets. Environmental risks are also inherent in rail operations, which frequently involve transporting chemicals and other hazardous materials.
 
Some of GATX’s current and previously owned properties have been used for industrial or transportation-related purposes that may have resulted in the discharge of contaminants. As a result, GATX is now subject to, and will from time to time continue to be subject to, environmental cleanup and enforcement actions. In particular, the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as the Superfund law, generally imposes joint and several liability for cleanup and enforcement costs, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on current and former owners and operators of a site. Accordingly, GATX may be responsible under CERCLA and other federal and state statutes for all or a portion of the costs to clean up sites at which certain substances may have been released by GATX, its current lessees, former owners or lessees of properties, or other third parties. Environmental remediation and other environmental costs are accrued when considered probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2007, environmental costs were not material to GATX’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. For further discussion, see Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors
 
GATX is subject to a number of risks which investors should consider.
 
Competition could result in decreased profitability.
 
GATX operates in a highly competitive business environment. In many cases, competitors are larger entities that have greater financial resources, higher credit ratings and a lower cost of capital than GATX. These factors may enable competitors to offer leases and loans to customers at lower rates than GATX is able to provide, thus impacting GATX’s asset utilization or GATX’s ability to lease assets or make loans on a profitable basis.
 
GATX depends upon continued demand from customers for its assets.
 
GATX relies upon continued demand from its customers for its assets. This demand depends upon the stability and growth of customer operating requirements. A number of our customers operate in cyclical markets, such as the steel, chemical and construction industries, and demand for our assets is tied to cycles in those markets. Other factors influencing customer operating requirements include changes in production volumes, potential changes in supply chains, choices regarding type of transportation asset, availability of substitutes, and other operational needs.
 
In many cases, demand for GATX’s assets is also dependent on customers’ desire to lease, rather than purchase assets. There are a number of items that factor into the customer’s decision whether to lease or purchase assets, such as


8


Table of Contents

tax considerations, interest rates, balance sheet considerations and operational flexibility. GATX has no control over these external considerations and changes in these factors could negatively impact demand for its assets held for lease.
 
GATX cannot predict whether inflation will continue to have a positive impact on its financial results.
 
Inflation in lease rates as well as inflation in residual values for rail, marine and other equipment has historically benefited GATX’s financial results. Effects of inflation are unpredictable as to timing and duration and depend on market conditions and economic factors.
 
GATX’s assets may become obsolete.
 
GATX’s assets are subject to functional, regulatory or economic obsolescence. Although GATX believes it is adept at managing obsolescence risk, there is no guarantee that changes in various market fundamentals or the adoption of new regulatory requirements will not unexpectedly cause asset obsolescence in the future.
 
GATX’s allowance for possible losses may be inadequate to protect against losses.
 
GATX’s allowance for possible losses on gross receivables may be inadequate if unexpected adverse changes in the economy differ from the expectations of management, or if discrete events adversely affect specific customers, industries or markets. If the allowance for possible losses is insufficient to cover losses related to gross receivables, then GATX’s financial position or results of operations could be negatively impacted.
 
The fair market value of GATX’s long-lived assets may differ from the value of those assets reflected in its financial statements.
 
GATX’s assets consist primarily of long-lived assets such as railcars, marine vessels and industrial equipment. The carrying value of these assets in the financial statements may at times differ from their fair market value. These valuation differences may be positive or negative and may be material based on market conditions and demand for certain assets. GATX regularly reviews its long-lived assets for impairment.
 
GATX may incur future asset impairment charges.
 
An asset impairment charge may result from the occurrence of unexpected adverse events or management decisions that impact GATX’s estimates of expected cash flows to be generated from its long-lived assets or joint venture investments. GATX regularly reviews long-lived assets and joint ventures for impairment, including when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset or investment may not be recoverable. GATX may be required to recognize asset impairment charges in the future as a result of a weak economic environment, challenging market conditions, events related to particular customers or asset types, or as a result of asset or portfolio sale decisions by management.
 
GATX may not be able to secure financing to fund its operations or contractual commitments.
 
GATX is dependent, in part, upon the issuance of unsecured and secured debt to fund its operations and contractual commitments. A number of factors could cause GATX to incur increased borrowing costs and to have greater difficulty accessing public and private markets for both secured and unsecured debt. These factors include the global capital market environment and outlook, GATX’s financial performance and GATX’s credit ratings and outlook as determined primarily by rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”). If GATX is unable to secure financing on acceptable terms, GATX’s other sources of funds, including available cash, bank facilities, cash flow from operations and portfolio proceeds may not provide adequate liquidity to fund its operations and contractual commitments.
 
GATX may not be able to procure insurance on a cost-effective basis.
 
The ability to insure its assets and their associated risks is an important aspect of GATX’s ability to manage risk. There is no guarantee that such insurance will be consistently available on a cost-effective basis in the future.

GATX is subject to extensive environmental regulations and the costs of remediation may be material.
 
GATX’s operations are subject to extensive federal, foreign, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the discharge of hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated sites. In addition, some of GATX’s properties, including those previously owned or leased, have been used for industrial purposes whose activities may have resulted in discharges onto the property. Environmental liability can extend to previously owned or operated properties as well as properties currently owned and used by the Company. Environmental liabilities are routinely assessed, including obligations and commitments for remediation of contaminated sites and assessments of ranges and probabilities of recoveries from other responsible parties. Due to the regulatory complexities and risk of unidentified contaminants on its properties, the potential exists for environmental and remediation costs to be materially different from the costs GATX has estimated.
 
GATX has been, and may in the future be, involved in various types of litigation.
 
The nature of assets which GATX owns exposes the Company to the potential for various claims and litigation related to, among other things, personal injury and property damage, environmental claims and other matters. The transportation of certain commodities by GATX’s railcars and marine vessels, particularly those classified as hazardous materials, pose risks resulting in potential liabilities and losses that could have a significant effect on GATX’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
High energy prices could have a negative effect on the demand for GATX’s products and services.
 
Energy prices, including the price of natural gas and oil, are significant cost drivers for many of our customers, either directly in the form of raw material costs in industries such as the chemical and steel industries, or indirectly in the form of increased transportation cost. Sustained high energy prices could negatively impact these industries resulting in a corresponding adverse effect on the demand for GATX’s operating assets and assets held for lease, as well as related services.
 
New regulatory rulings could negatively affect GATX’s profitability.
 
GATX’s rail and marine operations are subject to the jurisdiction of a number of federal agencies, including the Department of Transportation. State agencies regulate some aspects of rail operations with respect to health and safety matters not otherwise preempted by federal law. GATX’s operations are also subject to the jurisdiction of regulatory agencies of foreign countries. New domestic or foreign regulatory rulings may negatively impact GATX’s financial results through higher costs or reduced economic value of its assets.
 
Events or conditions negatively affecting certain assets, customers or geographic regions in which GATX has a large investment could have a negative impact on its results of operations.
 
GATX’s revenues are generally derived from a number of different asset types, customers, industries and geographic locations. However, from time to time, GATX could have a large investment in a particular asset type, a large revenue stream associated with a particular customer, or a large number of customers located in a particular geographic region. Decreased demand from a discrete event impacting a particular asset type, discrete events with a specific customer or industry, or adverse regional economic conditions, particularly for those assets, customers or regions in which GATX has a concentrated exposure, could have a negative impact on GATX’s results of operations.
 
Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could have a negative impact on GATX’s results of operations.
 
GATX’s results are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of certain subsidiaries are translated from their local currency into U.S. dollars upon consolidation. As exchange rates vary, the operating results of foreign subsidiaries, when translated, may differ materially from period to period. GATX is also subject to gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, which could vary based on fluctuations in exchange rates and the timing of the transactions and their settlement. In addition, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates can have an effect on the demand and relative price for services provided by GATX domestically and internationally, and could have a negative impact on GATX’s results of operations.

GATX may be unable to maintain assets on lease or charter at satisfactory rates.
 
GATX’s profitability is largely dependent on its ability to maintain assets on lease (utilization) at satisfactory lease rates or charter rates. A number of factors can adversely affect utilization, lease and charter rates, including, but not limited to: an economic downturn causing reduced demand or oversupply in the markets in which GATX operates, changes in customer behavior, or any other change in supply or demand caused by factors discussed in this Risk section.
 
GATX is subject to the inherent risks of its joint venture investments.
 
GATX’s investments include noncontrolling interests in a number of joint ventures managed and operated by third parties. These entities are subject to many of the same risk factors outlined herein. GATX is indirectly exposed to these risks through its ownership interest in these entities and adverse developments at the entity level could potentially have a negative impact on GATX’s results of operations. Additionally, in those instances where the joint venture is managed and operated by third parties, including affiliates of partners, the Company may not have control over all operational decisions which may result in actions taken at the entity level that could potentially have an adverse economic impact on GATX.
 
Unfavorable conditions on the Great Lakes could disrupt normal business operations, which could result in increased costs and decreases in revenues.
 
The success of GATX’s ASC business segment is dependent upon its ability to operate efficiently on the Great Lakes. Severe weather conditions and unanticipated ice formation could cause significant business interruptions. Additionally, low water levels may restrict the volume that may be transported in ASC’s vessels on a per trip basis. As a result, these conditions could negatively impact results of operations due to increased operating costs or decreased revenues.
 
Many of GATX’s employees are represented by unions, and the failure to successfully negotiate collective bargaining agreements may result in strikes, work stoppages or substantially higher labor costs.
 
A significant portion of GATX’s employees are union-represented and work under collective bargaining agreements with various labor organizations that cover a range of worker matters, including wages, health and welfare benefits, work rules and other issues. Historically, the Company and the unions have been successful in negotiating acceptable agreements without the incidence of any extended work stoppages. However, if the Company is unable to negotiate acceptable new agreements, it could result in strikes by the affected workers, business disruptions and increased operating costs as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union workers, any of which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
Changes in assumptions used to calculate post-retirement costs could adversely affect GATX’s results of operations.
 
GATX’s pension and other post-retirement costs are dependent on various assumptions used to calculate such amounts, including discount rates, long-term return on plan assets, salary increases, health care cost trend rates and other factors. Changes to any of these assumptions could adversely affect GATX’s results of operations and financial condition.
 
GATX’s effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings in the U.S. and foreign countries.
 
GATX is subject to taxes in both the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. As a result, GATX’s effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings in the U.S. and foreign countries with differing statutory tax rates, legislative changes impacting statutory tax rates, including the impact on recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws or by material audit assessments.
 
United States and world economic and political conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism or war, could adversely affect GATX.
 
National and international political developments, instability and uncertainties, including political unrest and threats of terrorist attacks, could result in global economic weakness in general and in the United States in


11


Table of Contents

particular, and could have an adverse impact on GATX. The effects may include: legislation or regulatory action directed toward improving the security of railcars and marine vessels against acts of terrorism, which could affect the construction or operation of railcars and marine vessels, a decrease in demand for rail and marine services, lower utilization of new and existing rail and marine equipment, lower rail lease and marine charter rates; impairments of rail and marine assets or capital market disruption, which may raise GATX’s financing costs or limit its access to capital, and liability or losses resulting from acts of terrorism involving GATX’s assets. Depending upon the severity, scope and duration of these effects, the impact on GATX’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be material.
 
GATX’s internal control over financial accounting and reporting may not detect all errors or omissions in the financial statements.
 
If GATX fails to maintain the adequacy of internal control over financial accounting, the Company may not be able to ensure that GATX can conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related regulations. Although GATX’s management has concluded that adequate internal control procedures are in place, no system of internal control can provide absolute assurance that the financial statements are accurate and free of error. As a result, the risk exists that GATX’s internal control may not detect all errors or omissions in the financial statements.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
OVERVIEW
 
General information and characteristics of GATX Corporation (“GATX” or the “Company”), including reporting segments, is included in Item 1, Business, of this document.
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included herein. Certain statements within this document may constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “predict,” or “project” and similar expressions.

2007 Highlights
 
  •  Income from continuing operations was significantly impacted by deferred tax benefits of $20.1 million in 2007 and $5.9 million in 2006. Excluding the impact of these benefits from both years, income from continuing operations of $165.7 increased by $20.2 million or 14% from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the impact of a larger active fleet, lease rate increases and higher asset remarketing income at Rail combined with increased earnings from the Specialty marine joint ventures, partially offset by a decrease in earnings at ASC primarily due to unfavorable operating conditions on the Great Lakes.
 
  •  Total investment volume was $640.8 million in 2007, compared to $763.1 million in 2006 and $503.2 million in 2005. Investment volume in 2006 included $126.3 million for the acquisition of six vessels at ASC. Excluding this acquisition, investment volume in 2007 was comparable to 2006.
 
  •  Increased earnings were the primary driver of the increase in GATX’s ROE in 2007. Excluding tax benefits, ROE was 14.3% in 2007, up from 13.3% in the prior year.
 
Segment Operations
 
Segment profit is an internal performance measure used by the Chief Executive Officer to assess the performance of each segment in a given period. Segment profit includes all revenues, including affiliate earnings, attributable to the segments as well as ownership and operating costs that management believes are directly associated with the maintenance or operation of the revenue earning assets. Operating costs include maintenance costs, marine operating costs, asset impairment charges and other operating costs such as litigation, provisions for losses, environmental costs, and asset storage costs. Segment profit excludes selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes and certain other amounts not allocated to the segments; these amounts are discussed below in Other.
 
GATX allocates debt balances and related interest expense to each segment based upon a pre-determined fixed recourse leverage level expressed as a ratio of recourse debt (including off balance sheet debt) to equity. The leverage levels for Rail, Specialty and ASC are set at 4:1, 3:1 and 1.5:1, respectively. Management believes that by utilizing this leverage and interest expense allocation methodology, each operating segment’s financial performance reflects an appropriate risk-adjusted cost of capital and is presented on a comparable basis.
 
Rail
 
Segment Summary
 
In 2007, Rail focused on renewing leases at higher rates, extending lease terms on renewals in an effort to reduce future earnings volatility, maintaining a disciplined investment strategy and taking advantage of high asset prices to selectively sell targeted assets. Rail entered the year with approximately 20,000 cars in North America whose contracts were scheduled to expire. Of this amount, approximately 14,600 were renewed, representing a renewal success rate of 72.9%, with the balance largely placed with different customers (“assignments”). The average lease term on renewals of a basket of common car types was 72 months in 2007, compared to 68 months for 2006 and 51 months for 2005. During 2007, Rail invested $494.0 million, acquiring approximately 6,000 cars in North America and 1,100 cars in Europe, compared to $533.6 million invested in 2006 for over 6,900 railcars. 2007 investments included 1,680 cars acquired pursuant to Rail’s committed purchase program. This program has enabled Rail to acquire new railcars at prices more favorable than current spot market prices. Rail also strategically sold, scrapped or otherwise disposed of approximately 4,200 railcars and locomotives in 2007 compared to over 5,000 in 2006.
 
Notwithstanding Rail’s success in 2007, signs of softness in the North American rail market developed during the year. North American fleet utilization decreased slightly from 98.5% to 97.9% as increases in idle cars were experienced over a wide group of car types. Notably, centerbeam cars (used in construction), gondolas and open hoppers (which carry coal) and tank and covered hopper cars (serving the ethanol markets) experienced significant pressure. These developments are creating challenges in the North American market. Rail is poised to take

advantage of potentially falling asset prices by adding railcars through fleet acquisitions at attractive prices, while also acquiring railcars under its committed purchase agreements.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2007, to Year Ended December 31, 2006
 
Segment Profit
 
Rail’s 2007 segment profit rose $19.4 million or 7.8% over 2006. The increase was primarily the result of an average of 3,000 more railcars on lease and rate increases achieved in the last two years on lease renewals and assignments, a significant increase in asset remarketing income from the strategic sales of certain railcar types and locomotives and the impact of foreign exchange rates. The increase was partially offset by increased ownership and maintenance costs.
 
Gross Income
 
Rail’s North American average active fleet grew by approximately 1,800 cars over the prior year. Additionally, lease rate increases were realized on both renewals and assignments. In North America, average lease renewal rates on a basket of common car types increased 15.5% over the average prior expiring lease rates, compared to 14.3% in 2006. The combined effects of the active fleet growth and lease rate increases contributed $31.7 million in additional lease income. In Europe, an average of over 1,200 more cars on lease and lease rate increases contributed $9.7 million in additional lease income, while strengthening European foreign exchange rates added $13.7 million in lease income. Locomotives contributed $1.8 million in additional lease income, primarily due to higher lease rates on certain overhauled locomotives. Rail expects lease income in 2008 to be higher as the full year effects of the 2007 lease rate increases and active fleet growth are realized and anticipated acquisitions of railcars and locomotives are expected to be placed on lease.
 
Asset remarketing income was $12.5 million higher in 2007 as Rail took advantage of the strong market and strategically sold certain targeted railcar types and locomotives. Other income was comparable to the prior year as lower third party repair revenue was offset by higher gains from scrapped railcars. As Rail’s fleet of cars under full service leases has grown, service center activities have become increasingly focused on fleet repairs and regulatory compliance for its fleet, resulting in fewer opportunities to service third party railcars. Scrapping gains increased primarily due to higher steel prices as the number of cars scrapped in each year was comparable. In 2007, 1,497 cars were scrapped, resulting in a gain of $9.1 million, compared to 1,458 cars scrapped in 2006 for a gain of $8.4 million.
 
The decrease in affiliate earnings primarily reflects the absence of $4.9 million of mark-to-market gains on certain derivative hedging instruments at the AAE affiliate recognized in 2006. Excluding the effect of the derivatives, earnings increased primarily due to growth in the size of the active fleet.
 
Ownership Costs
 
Ownership costs increased $25.5 million primarily due to depreciation and interest associated with fleet growth, partially offset by lower interest rates. The comparative mix of ownership costs was affected by the purchase in 2006 of approximately 4,700 railcars that were previously leased in under operating leases.
 
Operating Costs
 
Maintenance expenses increased $16.7 million, $5.6 million of which was due to the effects of foreign exchange rates. Excluding these effects, maintenance expense increased $11.1 million, comprised primarily of $4.4 million due to unanticipated repair of certain railcar types, $3.3 million due to higher material prices and


22


Table of Contents

increased railroad repairs, including the replacement of wheelsets, and $1.3 million primarily due to increased volume of compliance inspection and repairs. Maintenance expense is expected to be affected by higher inspection costs over the next few years as a significant number of tank cars in North America will be required to undergo scheduled compliance maintenance.
 
Asset impairment charges in 2006 primarily consisted of the loss on the sale of a European repair facility.
 
Other operating expenses increased $6.7 million, largely driven by higher freight and transportation costs related to higher assignment activity and foreign exchange remeasurement losses on U.S. dollar assets in Canada.
 
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2006, to Year Ended December 31, 2005
 
Segment Profit
 
Rail’s segment profit rose $46.4 million or 23% over 2005. The increase was primarily the result of an average of 2,800 more railcars on lease, rate increases versus expiring rates on both lease renewals and assignments of existing cars and strong affiliate earnings in Europe. This was partially offset by the costs of a larger fleet including ownership and maintenance costs.
 
Gross Income
 
Rail continued to benefit from improving conditions in its markets during 2006 and as a result, revenues increased $52.1 million, reflecting higher lease rates and an average of 2,800 more cars on lease.
 
In North America, Rail had an average of 2,300 more cars on lease. Additionally, strong demand contributed to high lease renewal success, increased lease rates and near full utilization of the fleet. In combination, these factors resulted in a $41.5 million increase in lease income. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the average North American renewal lease rate on a basket of common car types increased 14.3% over the expiring rate and fleet utilization for the entire year was 98.5%. Rail’s locomotive business also experienced growth during 2006 as higher lease rates and the placement of additional locomotives on lease contributed $3.1 million to the increase in lease income.
 
Rail’s European operations continued to improve; an average of over 500 more cars on lease and increased demand contributed to high lease renewal success and slightly higher lease rates, resulting in a $3.1 million increase in lease income. The effect of the foreign exchange rate changes on European sourced revenues also contributed $2.5 million favorably to results.
 
Asset remarketing income was $6.4 million higher as Rail took advantage of the strong market and sold certain railcar types. Other income decreased due to lower third-party repairs, partially offset by higher gains from scrapped railcars. As Rail’s fleet of cars under full service leases has grown, Rail’s service center activities have become increasingly focused on repairs and regulatory compliance for its fleet, resulting in fewer opportunities to service third party railcars. Scrapping gains increased due to higher scrap steel prices as 1,458 cars were scrapped in 2006, resulting in gains of $8.4 million, compared to 1,857 cars scrapped in 2005, resulting in gains of $6.4 million.
 
The increase in affiliate earnings reflects improved operating results at Rail’s affiliates as they also benefited from the strong market conditions. Additionally, mark to market gains of $4.9 million on certain derivative hedging instruments at the AAE affiliate also contributed to the increase. Prior year affiliates’ earnings were affected by the write down of an investment in a non-core foreign logistics business, partially offset by an asset remarketing gain recognized by a domestic affiliate.
 
Ownership Costs
 
Ownership costs increased $21.5 million primarily due to depreciation and interest associated with fleet growth, partially offset by lower interest rates. The comparative mix of ownership costs was affected by the purchase in 2006 of approximately 4,700 railcars that had been previously leased in under operating leases and the sale and leaseback in 2005 of approximately 2,900 railcars.

Table of Contents

Operating Costs
 
Maintenance expenses increased $8.4 million, reflective of the increased costs associated with maintaining a larger fleet. Additionally, higher costs for increased repairs performed by railroads, component price increases for regular maintenance and conversion work, and the effect of foreign exchange rate changes also contributed to the higher costs.
 
Asset impairment charges were $1.9 million lower than 2005, which included the write down of a North American repair facility that was sold in 2006 and the write down of certain locomotives in Europe. In 2006, asset impairment charges consisted primarily of the loss on the sale of a European repair facility.
 
Other operating expenses decreased $13.3 million, driven by lower car and foreign franchise tax expenses, lower legal costs associated with claim defenses and favorable translation gains on U.S. dollar denominated liabilities at Rail’s European operations. Additionally, 2005 included $5.0 million of debt extinguishment costs related to the termination of a structured financing in Canada.
 
Railcar Regulatory Issues
 
Railroad derailments and similar incidents have led to calls for increased regulation to address safety and security issues associated with the transportation of hazardous materials.
 
In 2007, the Tank Car Committee of the Association of American Railroads (“AAR”) finalized new performance standards for rail tank cars that transport toxic–by–inhalation hazardous materials in order to reduce the probability of a release of these materials in the event of a rail accident. Pursuant to these new rules, all cars transporting these materials must comply with the new performance standards by December 31, 2018. Car owners are required to submit plans to the AAR for complying with the new standards by December 31, 2008. GATX owns or leases approximately 3,100 tank cars (3% of its North American fleet) that carry these materials and, based upon management’s review, GATX does not expect that the new rules will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations
 
In January 2007, the Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”) announced that it had signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with industry participants in connection with the Next Generation Rail Tank Car Project, a research program intended to improve the safety of rail shipments of commodities such as toxic–by–inhalation materials and high risk gases and liquids. It is anticipated that the FRA will issue new federal design standards for tank cars that transport these materials in 2008. At this time, GATX cannot reasonably determine what effect, if any, new design standards might have in the event such standards are adopted by the FRA.
 
Pursuant to legislative directives, the FRA is conducting an analysis to determine the impact resistance of pressurized tank cars built with non-normalized steel prior to 1989, and will initiate a rulemaking to develop and implement an appropriate design standard for pressurized tank cars. This analysis is ongoing and, to date, no rules have been issued curtailing use of these cars. The Company owns or leases approximately 3,200 pre-1989 built pressurized tank cars in North America (3% of its North American fleet).
 
The Company continues to work actively with trade associations and others to participate in the legislative and regulatory process affecting the safe and secure transportation of hazardous materials by rail. At this time, the effect on GATX of the legislative mandates made on the FRA described above, the probability of adoption of other legislation or rules and their resulting impact on GATX cannot be reasonably determined.
 
Specialty
 
Segment Summary
 
The Specialty portfolio grew in 2007 as new investments of $141.0 million, comprised primarily of $110 million of industrial equipment assets and $18 million of marine assets, exceeded asset dispositions and depreciation, portfolio run-off and affiliate distributions. Specialty’s total asset base including off balance sheet assets, was $521.4 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $499.9 million and $467.2 million at December 31,


24


Table of Contents

2006 and 2005, respectively. The estimated net book value equivalent of managed assets was $378.1 million at December 31, 2007.
 
Segment profit at Specialty has benefited over the last several years from substantial asset remarketing income attributable to wholly owned and affiliate investments as well as from the managed portfolios. This level of remarketing income is not expected to continue in 2008.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2007, to Year Ended December 31, 2006
 
Segment Profit
 
Specialty’s segment profit of $117.5 million was $18.6 million or 18.8% higher than the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher marine affiliate earnings and the contribution from new operating lease assets acquired over the last two years, partially offset by lower fees and other income. Asset remarketing income generated from both wholly owned and affiliate owned assets, as well as the managed portfolios was comparable to 2006.
 
Gross Income
 
Revenues of $87.7 million were $5.4 million higher than the prior year. Lease income increased primarily due to investments in operating lease assets made over the past two years and higher usage rents from pooled marine vessels. Asset remarketing for both 2007 and 2006 primarily reflects gains and fees received in each period from sales of assets and can be affected by discrete events. For example, in 2007, a lessee exercised its purchase option, resulting in an $18.3 million gain and in 2006, significant residual sharing fees of $14.0 million and $8.3 million were received from remarketing events in two of the managed portfolios. The timing of asset remarketing income is


25


Table of Contents

dependent on transactional opportunities and market conditions and is expected to be uneven in nature. Other income decreased $3.6 million primarily due to lower securities gains recorded in the current year.
 
Affiliate earnings of $74.4 million increased $21.0 million primarily as a result of increased operating earnings from the marine joint ventures. Asset remarketing income at the affiliate level was comparable in 2007 and 2006 as approximately $20 million of remarketing income was recognized in each year. In 2007, remarketing gains were primarily realized from the partial liquidation of a mixed asset joint venture comprised of rail, air and marine assets and the sale of a vessel by a marine affiliate. In 2006, gains were primarily realized from a residual value guarantee, the sale of engines in the aircraft engine leasing affiliate and the sale of marine vessels.
 
Ownership Costs
 
Ownership costs of $31.5 million were $3.7 million higher primarily due to depreciation on new operating lease assets.
 
Operating Costs
 
Asset impairment charges in both years primarily reflect the write downs of certain cost method investments. Other operating expenses include net bad debt recoveries of $3.1 million in 2006 versus a loss provision of $1.0 million in 2007. Excluding the bad debt activity, other operating expenses increased primarily due to higher operating expenses associated with increased vessel activity and higher fuel costs and a net decrease in the fair value of derivatives.
 
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2006, to Year Ended December 31, 2005
 
Segment Profit
 
Specialty’s segment profit of $98.9 million was $7.2 million or 6.8% lower than the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest income, gains from the sale of securities and affiliate earnings, and higher ownership costs. This was partially offset by significantly higher lease income in the current year. Asset remarketing income was significant in 2006 and 2005; both years included a large residual sharing fee from one managed portfolio transaction.
 
Gross Income
 
Revenues of $82.3 million were $2.0 million higher than the prior year. Lease income increased primarily due to investments in new operating assets over the past two years and higher usage rents from marine vessels. Interest income decreased $4.1 million as a result of the repayment of certain loans in 2005. Asset remarketing for both 2006 and 2005 primarily reflects gains and fees received in each period from sales of assets. Significant residual sharing fees of $14.0 million and $12.8 million were received in 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to one transaction in the managed portfolio. The timing of asset remarketing income is dependent on transactional opportunities and market conditions and is expected to be uneven in nature. Other income decreased $4.2 million primarily due to a $3.7 million gain from the sale of securities recorded in the prior year.
 
Affiliate earnings of $53.4 million decreased $6.6 million primarily as a result of decreased operating earnings from the marine joint ventures, partially offset by increased remarketing gains, primarily in an aircraft engine leasing joint venture. The marine joint ventures continued to post strong earnings in 2006; however, not at the levels experienced in 2005.
 
Ownership Costs
 
Ownership costs of $27.8 million were $2.7 million higher primarily due to depreciation on new operating assets.

Operating Costs
 
Asset impairment charges in both years primarily reflect write downs of certain cost method investments. Other operating expenses include net bad debt recoveries of $3.1 million and $2.3 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Excluding the recoveries from both years, other operating expenses increased primarily due to higher operating expenses associated with increased vessel activity.
 
ASC
 
Segment Summary
 
ASC’s 2007 results reflect a full year of operation for the six vessels acquired from Oglebay Norton Marine Services in June of 2006. ASC’s operations in 2007 were hampered throughout the sailing season by difficult operating conditions on the Great Lakes. Specifically, difficult weather conditions, particularly at the beginning and end of the sailing season hindered vessel operations. Additionally, low water levels created problems for heavily loaded vessels, causing delays in the unloading of cargo and effectively reducing vessel carrying capacity. These operating conditions had a significant impact on ASC, creating operational inefficiencies and negatively impacting financial results. Rising fuel costs also negatively impacted results in 2007.
 
ASC’s fleet of 18 vessels was fully utilized throughout 2007 and the outlook in 2008 for freight demand on the Great Lakes remains positive, with the exception of potential softness in the limestone sector. Subsequent to year end, the hull of one of ASC’s 1,000 foot vessels, the M/V Walter J. McCarthy Jr. was breached as it attempted to lay up at dock for the winter. Repairs are expected be completed by June 30, 2008, resulting in the loss of use of this vessel for a portion of the 2008 sailing season. Neither the cost of the repair nor the temporary loss of use of the vessel are expected to have a material affect on GATX’s results of operations in 2008.

ASC’S Fleet Data
 
The following table summarizes fleet activity for ASC’s Great Lakes fleet as of December 31:
 
                         
    2007     2006     2005  
 
Beginning balance
    18       12       11

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2007, to Year Ended December 31, 2006
 
Segment Profit
 
ASC’s segment profit decreased $11.3 million or 35.3% compared to 2006. The variance was primarily attributable to significant weather delays at the beginning and end of the 2007 sailing season, lower water levels and escalating fuel costs. Additionally, the recognition in 2007 of winter maintenance expense for the vessels acquired in 2006 also contributed to the variance. Winter maintenance costs for these vessels were capitalized in 2006 in connection with the acquisition.
 
Gross Income
 
ASC’s gross income increased $23.2 million from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to freight rate increases and higher fuel surcharges. In accordance with certain contract provisions, ASC is able to recover a portion of fuel cost increases from its customers. The fuel surcharges were offset by higher fuel costs in marine operating expenses. While ASC benefited from a full year of operations from the vessels acquired in June of 2006, total net tons carried in 2007 increased only marginally due to the aforementioned weather delays and operating conditions. Net tons carried in 2007 were 37.3 million compared to 37.2 million in 2006.
 
Ownership Costs
 
ASC’s ownership costs were $4.2 million higher than the prior year. Depreciation and interest expense increased $2.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, primarily reflecting a full year of expense recognition for the acquired vessels compared to six months in the prior year.
 
Operating Costs
 
ASC’s operating costs increased $30.3 million from the prior year. The variance was primarily due to a full year of operating costs for the acquired vessels compared to only six months in the prior year. Higher fuel expense as well as higher labor costs resulting from a new labor agreement executed in 2006 also contributed to the increase. Fuel prices increased approximately 10%; however, a portion of the increased fuel costs were recovered through fuel surcharges. Maintenance expense increased primarily as a result of winter maintenance costs for the acquired vessels. These costs were capitalized in 2006 in connection with the acquisition.
 
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2006, to Year Ended December 31, 2005
 
Segment Profit
 
ASC’s segment profit of $32.0 million increased $13.6 million or 73.9%, primarily as a result of the operating contribution generated by the six acquired vessels, a full year of income from the time charter vessel, which commenced operation in June 2005, and freight rate increases for ASC’s existing fleet, partially offset by higher vessel operating and ownership costs.
 
Gross Income
 
ASC’s gross income of $209.8 million increased $71.5 million primarily due to the impact of the vessel acquisition, a full year of operating revenue and lease income from the time charter vessel, higher freight rates and increased fuel surcharges. The fuel surcharges were offset by higher fuel costs in marine operating expenses.


28


Table of Contents

The additional capacity attributable to the six acquired vessels contributed $51.2 million of additional freight revenue. Time charter freight revenue and operating lease income increased a total of $6.4 million, reflecting a full year of operation compared to seven months of operation in 2005. Revenue generated from the balance of ASC’s fleet increased $13.9 million primarily due to freight rate increases and fuel surcharges.
 
Ownership Costs
 
ASC’s ownership costs of $18.3 million increased $6.7 million primarily due to the costs associated with the acquired vessels.
 
Operating Costs
 
ASC’s operating costs increased $51.2 million primarily due to higher marine operating costs as a result of the vessel acquisitions, a full year of operating expenses related to the time charter vessel and higher fuel costs. The six acquired vessels added $36.5 million of operating expenses. Time charter operating expenses increased a total of $5.1 million, reflecting a full year of operation, compared to seven months of operation in 2005. Fuel prices increased approximately 16%; however, a portion of the increased fuel costs were recovered through fuel surcharges. Higher vessel labor costs resulting from a new labor agreement, executed in September 2006, also contributed to the increase.
 
ASC Regulatory Issues
 
ASC’s vessels take on ballast water when not fully loaded in order to ensure proper vessel control and safe operation. The United States Coast Guard and various Great Lakes States have initiated rulemakings or otherwise have legislation pending to enact new federal regulations and laws on ballast water discharge standards. The rulemakings and pending legislation focus upon, among other issues, the use of various ballast water treatment technologies designed to prevent the introduction and spread of non-indigenous aquatic species into U.S. waters. To date, no federal or state regulations have been promulgated with respect to this issue. Further, no developed treatment systems have proven effective in eliminating the spread of this species into U.S. waters. Accordingly, ASC cannot determine the impact that any such legislation or regulations, if enacted, may have on its operations.
 
Other
 
Other is comprised of unallocated interest expense, selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), miscellaneous income and expense not directly associated with the reporting segments and eliminations.

SG&A, Unallocated Interest and Other
 
SG&A increased $12.0 million in 2007, primarily due to higher compensation expense, including severance costs related to corporate staff reductions following the sale of Air, the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates and, in the prior year, the combination of favorable adjustments of certain accruals and the receipt of benefit claims refunds. SG&A increased $5.7 million in 2006 primarily due to the effect of stock option and stock appreciation rights expensing and higher information technology spending offset by the aforementioned favorable adjustments.

Table of Contents

Unallocated interest expense is the balance (excess or shortfall) of external interest expense remaining after allocation to the reporting segments (including discontinued operations). The unallocated amount is a function of the difference between GATX’s average actual debt balances and the average amount of debt allocated to the reporting segments based on assigned leverage targets. In 2006 and 2005, GATX consolidated leverage exceeded that of the combined segments, whereas, following the sale of Air and throughout 2007, consolidated leverage has been materially lower than that of the combined segments. As a result, unallocated interest expense was a credit in 2007, compared to an expense in 2006 and 2005.
 
Other items in 2005 primarily consisted of $11.9 million of debt extinguishment costs related to liability management activities, partially offset by the reversal of a $2.7 million corporate provision for losses. Eliminations were immaterial for all periods presented.
 
Income Taxes
 
GATX’s effective tax rate in both 2007 and 2006, benefited from favorable deferred tax adjustments resulting from enacted reductions in statutory tax rates in foreign jurisdictions. In 2007, reductions in the Canadian, United Kingdom and German statutory rates resulted in $20.1 million in benefits. In 2006, a reduction in the Canadian statutory rate resulted in a $5.9 million benefit. GATX’s effective tax rate in 2005 was impacted by $9.9 million of taxes related to the repatriation of foreign subsidiary earnings. To take advantage of the one-time dividends received deduction in the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, GATX repatriated $94.5 million of foreign earnings. Partially offsetting the repatriation expense was a tax benefit of $6.6 million recognized in connection with costs related to the termination of a structured financing. Excluding the impacts of the items noted herein from all years, GATX’s effective tax rate was 35.9% in 2007, 36.0% in 2006 and 36.7% in 2005.
 
On January 1, 2007, GATX adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which is an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 does not prescribe a recognition threshold or measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. FIN 48 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109 by defining criteria that an individual tax position must meet for any tax benefit to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, GATX recorded a decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding increase of $11.0 million to the 2007 opening balance of retained earnings.
 
See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on income taxes.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
In 2006, GATX agreed to sell the majority of its aircraft leasing business to Macquarie Aircraft Leasing Limited (“MALL”). The sale was completed in two stages: the sale of wholly owned aircraft closed on November 30, 2006, and the sale of partnered aircraft closed on January 17, 2007. Separately in 2006, GATX sold 26 wholly owned and partnered aircraft and its interest in Pembroke Group, a 50% owned aircraft leasing affiliate. These events resulted in the disposition of GATX’s aircraft leasing operation (formerly the “Air” segment). Accordingly, Air has been segregated and classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
 
GATX had been in the commercial aircraft leasing business since 1968, building a valuable operating lease platform and portfolio of aircraft. GATX believes that, relative to competitors in the industry, its lower scale and higher cost of capital resulted in a competitive disadvantage and that the sale of the Air business will enable it to realize greater value for its shareholders than could have been realized from continuing to own and operate the business. Gross proceeds from these sales in 2006 totaled $1.3 billion, of which approximately $800 million was used to retire debt and pay transaction costs. The remaining proceeds, including $229.9 million received in 2007, were primarily used to fund new investments in rail, marine and industrial assets and to repurchase GATX common stock.

  $ 17.9     $ (38.8 )   $ (119.9 )
                         
 
In 2007, gain on disposal of segment primarily consisted of a $20.9 million reversal of accrued income taxes resulting from an enacted change in federal income tax regulations and the finalization of the tax effects of the Air sale. In 2006, loss on disposal of segment was comprised primarily of $60.3 million ($70.9 including tax effects) of losses realized on dispositions and in 2005, was comprised primarily of impairment charges of $196.4 million ($119.4 million after tax).
 
Results of discontinued operations reflect directly attributable revenues, ownership, operating, interest and SG&A expenses and income taxes. Results also reflect intercompany allocations for interest and certain SG&A expenses. Interest expense allocated was zero, $16.4 million and $26.7 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest was allocated consistent with GATX’s risk adjusted approach for continuing operations. SG&A allocated was zero, $6.1 million and $6.9 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. SG&A was allocated based on management’s best estimate and judgment of the direct cost of support services provided to discontinued operations and amounts allocated approximate the amounts expected to be eliminated from continuing operations.
 
See Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on discontinued operations.
 
BALANCE SHEET DISCUSSION
 
Assets
 
Assets of continuing operations were $4.7 billion at December 31, 2007, compared to $4.4 billion at December 31, 2006. Increases in operating assets were partially offset by decreases in cash, receivables and other assets.
 
In addition to assets recorded on its balance sheet, GATX utilizes approximately $1.2 billion of other assets, primarily railcars, which are financed with operating leases and therefore are not recorded on the balance sheet. The off balance sheet assets represent the estimated present value of GATX’s committed future operating lease payments.
 
The following table presents assets of continuing operations by segment as of December 31 (in millions):

Gross Receivables
 
Receivables of $434.5 million at December 31, 2007, including leveraged leases net of nonrecourse debt, decreased $106.6 million from December 31, 2006. The decrease reflected the early buyout of two finance leases for a total of $35.5 million and contractual finance lease payments and loan repayments at Specialty.
 
Allowance for Possible Losses
 
The purpose of the allowance is to provide an estimate of credit losses inherent in reservable assets. Reservable assets include rent and other receivables, loans and finance lease receivables. In addition to establishing loss estimates for known troubled accounts, this estimate involves consideration of historical loss experience, judgments about the impact of present economic conditions, collateral values, and the state of the markets in which GATX operates.
 
The following summarizes changes in GATX’s consolidated allowance for possible losses as of December 31 (in millions):
 
                 
    2007     2006  
 
Balance at the beginning of the year
  $ 9.6     $ 12.7  
Provision (reversal) for possible losses
    0.1       (2.1 )
Charges to allowance
    (1.3 )     (1.9 )
Recoveries and other, including foreign exchange adjustments
    2.6       0.9  
                 
Balance at the end of the year
  $ 11.0     $ 9.6  
                 
 
The allowance for possible losses of $11.0 million at December 31, 2007 increased $1.4 million from 2006 primarily due to the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates.
 
There were no material changes in estimation methods or assumptions for the allowance during 2007. GATX believes that the allowance is adequate to cover losses inherent in the gross receivables portfolio as of December 31, 2007. Since the allowance is based on judgments and estimates, it is possible that those judgments and estimates could change in the future, causing a corresponding change in the recorded allowance.
 
Operating Assets and Facilities
 
Net operating assets and facilities increased $480.2 million from 2006. The increase was primarily related to Rail investing $494.0 million in rail assets, Specialty investing $118.6 million, primarily in industrial equipment assets, and foreign exchange rate effects of $100.7 million. Partially offsetting the increase were Rail dispositions of $55.5 million, Specialty dispositions of $15.4 million and depreciation of $192.3 million.
 
Investments in Affiliated Companies
 
Investments in affiliated companies increased $25.9 million in 2007, primarily due to investment contributions to a marine joint venture at Specialty. Distributions of earnings and capital from affiliates were $93.4 million in 2007, approximating GATX’s share of 2007 affiliate earnings.
 
The following table shows GATX’s investment in affiliated companies by segment as of December 31 (in millions):

Debt
 
Total debt increased $145.0 million from the prior year, primarily related to the issuance of $242.8 million of commercial paper, partially offset by principal payments related to maturities and conversions of convertibles notes of $142.5 million and the repayment of $40.9 million of European debt. Subsequent to year end, $200 million of senior notes were issued for net proceeds of $197.6 million, which were substantially used to pay down commercial paper balances.

(a) Off balance sheet debt represents the estimated present value of assets leased in under operating leases and is equal to the value of off balance sheet assets.
 
CASH FLOW DISCUSSION
 
GATX generates a significant amount of cash from its operating activities and proceeds from its investment portfolio, which is used to service debt, pay dividends, and fund portfolio investments and capital additions.
 
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of Continuing Operations
 
Net cash provided by continuing operations of $339.8 million increased $46.5 million compared to 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher lease income and joint venture dividends and lower operating lease payments, partially offset by higher maintenance, other operating and SG&A expenses.
 
Portfolio Investments and Capital Additions
 
Portfolio investments and capital additions primarily consist of purchases of operating lease assets, investments in joint ventures, loans and capitalized asset improvements. Portfolio investments and capital additions of $640.8 million decreased $122.3 million from 2006, primarily attributable to ASC’s acquisition in 2006 of six marine vessels from Oglebay Norton Marine Services for $126.3 million. Rail’s investment volume of $494.0 million was $39.6 million lower than the prior year, and included approximately 6,000 railcars for its North American fleet and 1,100 railcars for its European fleet. Specialty’s investment volume of $141.0 million increased $46.9 from 2006 and included $109.6 million of industrial equipment and $18.3 million of marine assets. Other investments primarily reflect information technology activity, including systems expenditures that support GATX’s operations.

Future portfolio investments and capital additions (excluding contractual commitments) will depend on market conditions and opportunities to acquire desirable assets.
 
Portfolio Proceeds
 
Portfolio proceeds primarily consist of loan and finance lease receipts, proceeds from asset remarketing and sales of securities, and capital distributions from affiliates. Portfolio proceeds of $246.8 million in 2007 increased $124.1 million from 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher proceeds from asset remarketing at Specialty and Rail and the maturity of debt securities in Europe.
 
Portfolio proceeds were as follows for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

Other Investing Activity
 
In 2006, Rail exercised purchase options on two operating leases covering a total of 4,700 railcars for an aggregate cost of $260.9 million. In 2005, the Company completed a sale-leaseback transaction for approximately 2,900 of its railcars (net book value of $170.0 million) for net proceeds of $201.3 million. The transaction produced a gain of $31.3 million, which was deferred and is being amortized as a component of operating lease expense over the 21-year term of the resulting operating lease. Proceeds from other asset sales primarily consist of scrapping of railcars, sales of assets held for sale, and dispositions of other assets.
 
Net Cash used in Financing Activities of Continuing Operations
 
Net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $246.5 million in 2007, compared to net cash provided of $112.6 million in 2006. Repayments of debt of $204.7 million in 2007 were primarily attributable to the principal paid upon maturity of the 2002, 7.5% convertible notes. Proceeds from debt primarily consisted of $242.8 million of commercial paper issuances. The stock repurchase program was also fully executed in 2007, with 6.3 million shares of common stock reacquired for $300.2 million.
 
Cash Flows of Discontinued Operations
 
Net cash provided by discontinued operations of $181.8 million in 2007, consisted primarily of $227.1 million of proceeds received from the disposition of the Air segment, partially offset by $33.8 million of allocated federal income tax payments.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
General
 
GATX funds its investments and meets its debt, lease and dividend obligations through available cash balances, cash generated from continuing operating activities, portfolio proceeds (including proceeds from asset sales), commercial paper issuances, committed revolving credit facilities and the issuance of secured and unsecured debt. GATX utilizes both domestic and international capital markets and banks for its debt financing needs.

Additionally, net cash from discontinued operations, including proceeds from the sale of Air assets in 2007 and 2006, was $181.8 million, $558.7 million and $97.3 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Credit Facilities
 
In the second quarter of 2007, GATX’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility was amended and restated. The amendment and restatement of the facility extended the maturity from June of 2010 to May of 2012 and increased the facility amount from $525 million to $550 million. The net worth covenant was eliminated.
 
At December 31, 2007, availability under the credit facility was $290.9 million, with $242.8 million of commercial paper outstanding and $16.3 million of letters of credit issued, both backed by the facility. Commercial paper issuances are the primary sources of cash used to fund daily operations. This short-term debt is paid down using cash flow from operations, portfolio proceeds or proceeds from long-term debt issuances. GATX also has revolving lines of credit totaling $45.2 million in Europe. At December 31, 2007, availability under these lines of credit was $40.9 million.
 
Restrictive Covenants
 
The revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and an asset coverage test. GATX’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges, as defined in the credit facility, was 2.1x for the period ended December 31, 2007, in excess of the minimum covenant ratio of 1.2x. At December 31, 2007, GATX was in compliance with all covenants and conditions of the credit facility.
 
The indentures for GATX’s public debt also contain restrictive covenants, including limitations on loans, advances or investments in related parties and dividends it may distribute. Some of the indentures also contain limitation on lien provisions that limit the amount of secured indebtedness that GATX may incur, subject to several exceptions, including those permitting an unlimited amount of purchase money indebtedness and nonrecourse indebtedness. In addition to the other specified exceptions, GATX would be able to incur liens securing a maximum of $871.2 million of additional indebtedness as of December 31, 2007, based on the most restrictive limitation on liens provision. At December 31, 2007, GATX was in compliance with all covenants and conditions of the indentures.

Table of Contents

The loan agreements for certain of GATX’s wholly owned European subsidiaries (collectively, “GRE”) also contain restrictive covenants, including leverage and cash flow covenants specific to those subsidiaries, restrictions on making loans and limitations on the ability of those subsidiaries to repay loans to certain related parties (including GATX) and to pay dividends to GATX. The covenants relating to loans and dividends effectively limit the ability of GRE to transfer funds to GATX. At December 31, 2007, the maximum amount that GRE could transfer to GATX without violating its covenants was $25.9 million, implying that $349.4 million of subsidiary net assets were restricted. Restricted net assets are defined as equity less 50% of free cash flow. At December 31, 2007, GRE was in compliance with all covenants and conditions of these loan agreements.
 
Another subsidiary’s financing, guaranteed by GATX, contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements for GATX to maintain a defined net worth and a fixed charge coverage ratio. This fixed charge coverage ratio covenant is less restrictive than that contained in the revolving credit facility.
 
GATX does not anticipate any covenant violations nor does it anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict its operations or its ability to procure additional financing.
 
Debt Financing
 
During the third quarter 2007, GATX filed a shelf registration statement to issue debt securities and pass-through certificates. The registration statement is effective for three years without limit on the amount of issuance. Subsequent to year end, during February 2008, GATX issued $200 million of senior unsecured debt with a 6.0% coupon and a maturity date of February 15, 2018.
 
See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for detailed information on GATX’s credit facilities, debt obligations and related restrictive covenants.
 
Credit Ratings
 
The availability of GATX’s funding options may be affected by certain factors, including the global capital market environment and outlook as well as GATX’s financial performance. GATX’s access to capital markets at competitive rates is dependent on its credit rating and rating outlook, as determined by rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”). As of December 31, 2007, GATX’s long-term unsecured debt was rated BBB+ by S&P and Baa1 by Moody’s. GATX’s short-term unsecured debt was rated A-2 by S&P and P-2 by Moody’s. GATX’s rating outlook from both agencies was stable.
 
2008 Liquidity Position
 
GATX expects that it will be able to meet its contractual obligations for 2008 through a combination of projected cash from continuing operations, portfolio proceeds and its revolving credit facilities, as well as available cash.

Convertible Securities
 
In August 2003, GATX issued $125.0 million, 5.0% senior unsecured notes, due in August 2023, which are convertible into GATX common stock. As of December 31, 2007, $106.8 million of the notes were outstanding and convertible at $24.81 per share. GATX has the right, beginning in August 2008, to redeem the notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. If GATX provides notice of redemption, the holders of the notes may elect to exercise their conversion privilege. Upon conversion, GATX may elect, at its option, to deliver cash, shares of GATX common stock or any combination thereof. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
 
Unconditional Purchase Obligations
 
At December 31, 2007, GATX’s unconditional purchase obligations of $545.2 million were primarily for railcars to be acquired during 2008 and 2009 (in millions):

Commercial Commitments
 
In connection with certain investments or transactions, GATX has entered into various commercial commitments, such as guarantees and standby letters of credit, which could require performance in the event of demands by third parties. Similar to GATX’s balance sheet investments, these guarantees expose GATX to credit, market and equipment risk; accordingly, GATX evaluates its commitments and other contingent obligations using techniques similar to those used to evaluate funded transactions.
 
GATX’s commercial commitments for continuing operations at December 31, 2007 were (in millions):

Affiliate guarantees generally involve guaranteeing repayment of the financing utilized to acquire or lease in assets being leased by an affiliate to customers, and are in lieu of making direct equity investments in the affiliate. GATX is not aware of any event of default which would require it to satisfy these guarantees, and expects the affiliates to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy their lease and loan obligations.
 
Asset residual value guarantees represent GATX’s commitment to third parties that an asset or group of assets will be worth a specified amount at the end of a lease term. Approximately 39% of the Company’s asset residual value guarantees are related to rail equipment. Based on known facts and current market conditions, management does not believe that the asset residual value guarantees will result in any negative financial impact to GATX. Historically, gains associated with the residual value guarantees have exceeded any losses incurred. GATX believes these asset residual value guarantees will likely generate future income in the form of fees and residual sharing proceeds.
 
Lease payment guarantees represent GATX’s guarantees to financial institutions of finance and operating lease payments to unrelated parties in exchange for a fee. In the first quarter of 2007, GATX provided a guarantee for future lease payments under a lease agreement assumed by the buyer of the Air business. The guarantee covers remaining lease payments totaling $49.1 million payable during the years 2008 — 2019.
 
Other guarantees consists of GATX’s indemnification of Airbus S.A.S. (“Airbus”) for amounts Airbus may be required to pay under certain specified circumstances to GATX Flightlease Aircraft Ltd., a joint venture partially

owned by GATX (“GFAC”), in connection with an aircraft purchase contract entered into by GFAC and Airbus in 2001. GATX’s indemnification obligation is capped at approximately $77.8 million. No liability has been recorded with respect to this indemnification as GATX believes that the likelihood of having to perform under the indemnity is remote. The aircraft purchase contract, and other agreements relating thereto, have been the subject of various litigation proceedings that are described in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
GATX and its subsidiaries are also parties to standing letters of credit and bonds primarily related to workers’ compensation and general liability insurance coverages. No material claims have been made against these obligations. At December 31, 2007, GATX does not expect any material losses to result from these off balance sheet instruments because performance is not anticipated to be required.
 
Defined Benefit Plan Contributions
 
In 2007, GATX contributed $7.4 million to its funded and unfunded defined benefit plans, including pension and other post retirement benefits, and in 2008, the Company expects to make contributions of approximately $7.9 million. Additional contributions will be dependent on a number of factors including plan asset investment returns and actuarial experience. Subject to the impact of these factors, the Company may make additional material plan contributions.
 
Stock Repurchases
 
On January 17, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $300 million share repurchase program, which was completed in August 2007. On January 23, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $200 million share repurchase program expected to be completed in 2008.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and judgments based on historical experience and other relevant factors and circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
The Company considers the following as critical accounting policies:
 
  •  Operating lease assets — Operating assets, including assets acquired under capital lease, are stated principally at historical cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method to an estimated residual value. Since the majority of GATX’s assets have useful lives in excess of 30 years, the residual value requires a projection of value significantly in the future. GATX periodically reviews the appropriateness of depreciable lives and residual value estimates based on physical and economic factors, as well as existing market conditions. Changes in these estimates could result in a change in depreciation expense.
 
  •  Impairment of long-lived assets — In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, GATX performs a review for impairment of long-lived assets, such as operating assets and facilities, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. GATX measures recoverability of assets to be held and used by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to estimated future net cash flows expected to be generated by it. Estimated future cash flows are based on a number of assumptions including lease rates, lease term, operating costs, life of the asset and disposition proceeds. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds estimated fair value. Fair value is based on internal estimates supplemented with independent appraisals and/or market comparables when available and appropriate. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value less selling costs.
 
  •  Impairment of investments in affiliated companies — In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock (“APB 18”),


39


Table of Contents

  GATX reviews the carrying amount of its investments in affiliates annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred.
 
If management determines that indicators of impairment are present for an investment, an analysis is performed to estimate the fair value of that investment. Management defines fair value, for purposes of this policy, as the price that would be received for an investment in a current transaction between a willing buyer and seller. While quoted prices in active markets provide the best evidence of fair value, an active market does not exist for the majority of our affiliate investments. Thus, an estimate of their fair value must be made. Some examples of acceptable valuation techniques that GATX may use to estimate fair value are discounted cash flows at the investee level, capitalized earnings or the present value of expected distributable cash from the investee. Additionally, price/earnings ratios based on comparable businesses may also be acceptable in certain circumstances. Other valuation techniques that are appropriate for the particular circumstances of the affiliate and for which sufficient data are available may also be used.
 
Once an estimate of fair value is made, it is compared to the investment’s carrying value. If the investment’s estimated fair value is less than its carrying value, then the investment is deemed impaired. If an investment is deemed impaired, then a determination is made as to whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. Factors that management considers in making this determination include expected operating results for the near future, the length of the economic life cycle of the underlying assets of the investee and the ability of GATX to hold the investment through the end of the underlying assets’ useful life. Anticipated actions that are probable of being taken by investee management that may improve its business prospects are also considered.
 
If management reasonably determines an investment to be only temporarily impaired, no impairment loss is recorded. Alternatively, if management determines that an investment is impaired on an other-than-temporary basis, a loss equal to the difference between the estimated fair value of the investment and its carrying value is recorded in the period of identification.
 
  •  Impairment of goodwill — In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), GATX reviews the carrying amount of its recorded goodwill annually or in interim periods if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The impairment review is performed at the reporting unit level, which is one level below an operating segment. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process and requires management to make certain judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step in the process consists of estimating the fair value of each reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts. Management then compares its estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit with the reporting unit’s carrying amount, which includes goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount, an additional step is performed that compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. The determination of a reporting unit’s implied fair value of the goodwill requires management to allocate the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the implied fair value of the goodwill. To the extent that the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recorded in the period of identification.
 
  •  Pension and Post-retirement Benefits Assumptions — GATX’s pension and other post-retirement benefit obligations and related costs are calculated using actuarial assumptions. Two critical assumptions, the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets, are important elements of plan expense and liability measurement. Other assumptions involve demographic factors such as retirement, mortality, turnover, health care cost trends and rate of compensation increases.
 
The discount rate is used by GATX to calculate the present value of expected future pension and post-retirement cash flows as of the measurement date. The guideline for establishing this rate is high-quality, long-term bond rates. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on current and expected asset allocations, as well as historical and expected returns on various categories of plan assets. GATX evaluates these critical assumptions annually and makes adjustments as required in accordance with changes in underlying market conditions, valuation of plan assets, or demographics. As a result, changes in these assumptions may increase or decrease periodic benefit plan expense as well as the carrying value of benefit


40


Table of Contents

plan assets or obligations. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding these assumptions.
 
  •  Share-based Compensation — GATX provides equity awards to certain employees and directors in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, performance share awards and phantom stock awards. Compensation expense for these awards is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the applicable vesting period based on the award’s grant date fair value. GATX uses the Black-Scholes options valuation model to calculate the grant date fair value of stock options and SARs. This model requires the input of assumptions, some of which are highly subjective, which will affect the amount of compensation expense recorded. Assumptions used in the model include expected stock price volatility (based on the historical volatility of GATX’s stock price), the risk free interest rate (based on the treasury yield curve), the expected life of the equity award (based on historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior) and the expected dividend equivalents to be paid during the estimated life of the equity award (since GATX’s options/SARs are dividend participating). Changes in the assumptions may impact the amount of compensation expense. The fair value of other equity awards is based on GATX’s stock price on the grant date. See Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on share-based compensation.
 
  •  Income Taxes — GATX evaluates the need for a deferred tax asset valuation allowance by assessing the likelihood of whether deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforward benefits, will be realized in the future. The assessment of whether a valuation allowance is required involves judgment, including the forecast of future taxable income and the evaluation of tax planning initiatives, if applicable.
 
     Taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as the Company has historically maintained that undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and affiliates were intended to be permanently reinvested in those foreign operations. If, in the future, these earnings are repatriated to the U.S., or if the Company expects such earnings will be remitted in the foreseeable future, a provision for additional taxes would be required.
 
     GATX’s operations are subject to taxes in the U.S., various states and foreign countries and as result, may be subject to audit in all of these jurisdictions. Tax audits may involve complex issues and disagreements with taxing authorities could require several years to resolve. GATX adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 defines criteria that an individual tax position must meet for any tax benefit to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. Under FIN 48, GATX must presume that uncertain income taxes positions will be examined by the relevant tax authority and determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the income tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. An income tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is then evaluated to determine the probable amount of benefit recognized in the financial statements. Establishing accruals for uncertain tax benefits requires management to make estimates and assessments with respect to the ultimate outcome of tax audit issues and amounts recorded in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of such uncertain tax benefits may differ from management’s estimate, potentially impacting the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
This report includes certain financial performance measures computed using non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) components as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These measures are return on equity, return on assets, income from continuing operations excluding

tax benefits and diluted earnings per share excluding tax benefits. As required under SEC rules, GATX has provided a reconciliation of those non-GAAP components to the most directly comparable GAAP components. Financial performance measures disclosed in this report are meant to provide additional information and insight into the historical operating results and financial position of the business. Management uses these performance measures to assist in analyzing GATX’s underlying financial performance from period to period and to establish criteria for compensation decisions. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP and may be different from, or inconsistent with, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
 
GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS
 
  •  Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Numerical or percentage based measures of a company’s historical performance, financial position or liquidity calculated using a component different from that presented in the financial statements as prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
  •  Off Balance Sheet Assets — Assets, primarily railcars, which are financed with operating leases and therefore not recorded on the balance sheet. GATX estimates the off balance sheet asset amount by calculating the present value of committed future operating lease payments using the interest rate implicit in each lease.
 
  •  On Balance Sheet Assets — Total assets as reported on the balance sheet excluding assets of discontinued operations.
 
  •  Return on Equity — Income from continuing operations divided by average total shareholders’ equity.
 
  •  Return on Assets — Income from continuing operations divided by average total on and off balance sheet assets.
 
  •  Return on Equity Excluding Tax Benefits — Income from continuing operations excluding tax benefits divided by average total shareholders equity.
 
  •  Return on Assets Excluding Tax Benefits — Income from continuing operations excluding tax benefits divided by average total on and off balance sheet assets.

Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
In the normal course of business, GATX is exposed to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks that could impact results of its operations. To manage these risks, GATX, pursuant to authorized policies, may enter into certain derivative transactions, principally interest rate swaps, Treasury rate locks, options and currency forwards and swaps. These instruments and other derivatives are entered into only for hedging existing underlying exposures. GATX does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
 
Interest Rate Exposure — GATX’s interest expense is affected by changes in interest rates, primarily LIBOR, as a result of its use of variable rate debt instruments. GATX generally manages its variable rate debt instruments in relation to its variable rate investments. Based on GATX’s variable rate debt instruments at December 31, 2007, and giving affect to related derivatives, a hypothetical increase in market interest rates of 100 basis points would cause an increase in after-tax interest expense of $4.2 million in 2008. Comparatively, at December 31, 2006, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in a $2.9 million increase in after-tax interest expense in 2007. The increase in sensitivity to interest rates at December 31, 2007, is primarily due to a $242.8 million increase in commercial paper outstanding.
 
Functional Currency/Reporting Currency Exchange Rate Exposure — GATX conducts operations in foreign countries, principally Poland, Germany, Austria and Canada. As a result, changes in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies, primarily the Canadian dollar, Euro and Polish zloty, would affect GATX’s reported earnings when they are converted to U.S. dollars upon consolidation. Based on earnings from continuing operations in 2007, a uniform and hypothetical 10% strengthening in the U.S. dollar versus applicable foreign currencies would decrease after-tax income from continuing operations in 2008 by approximately $7.2 million. Comparatively, at December 31, 2006, a uniform and hypothetical 10% increase in the U.S. dollar versus applicable foreign currencies would have resulted in a decrease in after-tax income from continuing operations in 2007 of approximately $7.3 million.
 
The interpretation and analysis of the results from the hypothetical changes to interest rates and currency exchange rates should not be considered in isolation; such changes would typically have corresponding offsetting effects. For example, offsetting effects are present to the extent that floating rate debt is associated with floating rate assets, including cash and cash equivalents. Changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates can also have an effect on the demand and relative price for services provided by GATX domestically and internationally.
 
Equity Price Exposure — GATX also has equity price risk inherent in stock and warrants of companies in which it has invested. At December 31, 2007, the fair values of GATX’s stock and warrant investments were $1.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The hypothetical change in value resulting from a 10% sensitivity test would not be material to GATX’s results of operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of GATX Corporation
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GATX Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flows, and comprehensive income (loss) for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of GATX Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 2007 the Company changed its method of accounting for leveraged lease transactions and unrecognized tax benefits and in 2006 the Company changed its method of accounting for pension and other post-retirement benefits and share-based compensation and adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), GATX Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 29, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1.   Description of Business
 
GATX Corporation (“GATX” or the “Company”) leases, operates and manages long-lived, widely used assets in the rail, marine and industrial equipment markets. GATX also invests in joint ventures that complement existing business activities. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, GATX has three financial reporting segments: Rail, Specialty and American Steamship Company (“ASC”).
 
GATX consummated the merger (the “Merger”) of its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, GATX Financial Corporation (“GFC”), with and into its parent, GATX, on and as of May 11, 2007. The merger did not have any impact on GATX’s financial position or results of operations.
 
NOTE 2.   Accounting Changes
 
FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 13-2 — As of January 1, 2007, GATX adopted FSP FAS 13-2, Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction. This guidance applies to all transactions classified as leveraged leases in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and provides that if the expected timing of income tax cash flows generated by a leveraged lease transaction changes, then the rate of return and the allocation of income among reporting periods should be recalculated, which may result in a one-time, non-cash charge to earnings in the period of changed expectations. As a result of the implementation of this FSP, GATX reduced the carrying value of two leveraged lease investments and recorded a corresponding reduction of $15.0 million, net of taxes, to the 2007 opening balance of retained earnings. This amount will be recognized as income over the remaining terms of the affected leases, 2007 to 2021, and is not expected to be material in any year.
 
FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) — As of January 1, 2007, GATX adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”), did not prescribe a recognition threshold or measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. FIN 48 clarifies the application of SFAS 109 by defining criteria that an individual tax position must meet for any tax benefit to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, GATX recorded an $11.0 million decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding increase to the 2007 opening balance of retained earnings. See Note 15 for additional information.
 
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) — As of January 1, 2006, GATX adopted SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB 108 in order to eliminate the diversity in practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. This bulletin provides guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year financial statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. Specifically, SAB 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. Prior practice allowed the evaluation of materiality on the basis of either the income statement or the balance sheet approach, but did not require both. In years prior to 2002, GATX recorded accruals in connection with the sale of multiple business segments reported as discontinued operations. These accruals were for post-retirement employment benefits on an undiscounted basis for severed employees and retirees of the sold business, the liability for which was retained by GATX. In subsequent years, the periodic expenses for post-retirement employment benefits related to former employees of the sold businesses were charged against the accruals. The Company now believes that these liabilities were determined in error. These errors were deemed to be immaterial prior to 2006, but after applying the guidance under SAB 108, the cumulative effect of these errors was determined to be material to 2006. In evaluating materiality and determining the appropriateness of applying SAB 108 to these errors, the Company considered

materiality both qualitatively and quantitatively as prescribed by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 (“SAB 99”), Materiality. As a result, an after-tax adjustment of $19.2 million was made to increase the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2006.
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 158, (“SFAS 158”) — GATX adopted SFAS 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), as of December 31, 2006. SFAS 158 requires that a company’s balance sheet reflect the funded status of its pension and postretirement plans. The funded status of the plans is measured as the difference between the plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation. GATX recognized the aggregate overfunding of any plans in Other Assets, the aggregate underfunding of any plans in Other Liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related taxes. At December 31, 2006, previously unrecognized differences in the funding status of plans were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in the balance sheet as required by SFAS 158. The adoption of SFAS 158, resulted in adjustments to the carrying amount of pension and other post retirement plan balances and a corresponding decrease in shareholders’ equity of $34.8 million net of taxes. See Note 16 for additional information.
 
Share-Based Compensation — In December 2004, SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments (“SFAS 123(R)”) was issued. SFAS 123(R), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”). Generally, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement, establishes fair value as the measurement objective and requires entities to apply a fair value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions. GATX adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified-prospective transition method (“MPT”) as of January 1, 2006. Under the MPT, entities are required to recognize compensation expense in financial statements issued subsequent to the date of adoption for all share-based payments granted, modified, or settled after the date of adoption as well as for any awards that were granted prior to the adoption date for which the requisite service period had not been provided as of the adoption date. Under this transition method, share-based compensation expense for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, was based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied APB 25 to account for its stock-based compensation plans. Under APB 25, no compensation expense was recognized for stock option awards as the exercise price of the awards on the date of the grant was equal to the then current market price of the Company’s stock, however, compensation expense was recognized in connection with the issuance of restricted stock and phantom stock awards. Thus, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) primarily resulted in compensation expense being recorded for stock options.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) in 2006, the Company’s income before income taxes and net income for the year ended December 31, 2007, were $3.3 million and $2.0 million lower, respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2006, were $3.5 million and $2.2 million lower, respectively, than under APB 25. Basic and diluted net earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, were each $0.04 lower than if the Company had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the total share-based compensation expense was $9.6 million ($5.9 million after tax) and $7.7 million ($4.7 million after tax), respectively. In 2005, had the Company recognized compensation costs as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, reported net income, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share would have been (in millions, except per share amounts):

NOTE 3.   Significant Accounting Policies
 
Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GATX and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Investments in affiliated companies (discussed herein) are not consolidated. The consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the former Air segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented. GATX has ownership interests in certain investments that are considered Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”). GATX is not the primary beneficiary with respect to any of the VIEs. As a result, GATX does not consolidate these entities.
 
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and judgments based on historical experience and other relevant facts and circumstances. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassification — Certain amounts in the 2006 and 2005 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents — GATX considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.


52

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Restricted cash — Restricted cash represents cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal and usage. GATX’s restricted cash primarily relates to amounts maintained, as required by contract, for three wholly owned bankruptcy remote, special-purpose corporations.
 
Loans — GATX records loans at the principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest. The loan portfolio is reviewed regularly and a loan is classified as impaired when it is probable that GATX will be unable to collect all amounts due under the loan agreement. Since most loans are collateralized, impairment is generally measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the loan exceeds expected payments plus the fair value of the underlying collateral. Generally, interest income is not recognized on impaired loans until the loan has been paid up to contractually current status or as conditions warrant.
 
Operating Assets and Facilities — Operating assets and facilities are stated principally at cost. Assets acquired under capital leases are included in operating assets and the related obligations are recorded as liabilities. Provisions for depreciation include the amortization of capital lease assets. Operating assets and facilities are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or lease terms to estimated residual values using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are as follows:
 
         
Railcars
    30 – 38 years  
Locomotives
    12 – 20 years  
Buildings
    40 – 50 years  
Leasehold improvements
    5 – 40 years  
Marine vessels
    40 – 50 years  
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — A review for impairment of long-lived assets, such as operating assets and facilities, is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are classified as held for sale and reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
 
Investments in Affiliated Companies — GATX has investments in 20 to 50 percent-owned companies and joint ventures and other investments in which GATX does not have effective or voting control (collectively “affiliates”). These affiliates are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in affiliated companies are initially recorded at cost, including goodwill at the acquisition date. In certain instances, GATX’s cost basis may be different from its share of the affiliates’ net assets. These differences are primarily attributable to loans to and from affiliates and purchase accounting adjustments. Income/expense on these loans offsets GATX’s proportional share of the affiliates’ earnings. The carrying amount of GATX’s investments in affiliated companies is affected by GATX’s share of the affiliates’ undistributed earnings and losses, distributions of dividends and loan payments to or from the affiliate. See Note 8 for additional information.
 
Impairment of investments in affiliated companies — In accordance with APB No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, GATX reviews the carrying amount of its investments in affiliates annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. If an investment is determined to be impaired on an other-than-temporary basis, a loss equal to the difference between the estimated fair value of the investment and its carrying value is recorded in the period of identification.
 
Inventory — GATX has inventory that consists of railcar and locomotive repair components and marine vessel spare parts. All inventory balances are stated at lower of cost or market. Railcar repair components are valued using the average cost method. Vessel spare parts inventory is valued using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory is included in other assets on the balance sheet.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Goodwill — SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, established accounting and reporting standards for goodwill. Under these standards, goodwill is no longer amortized, but rather is subject to an annual impairment test. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Goodwill arising from individual business combinations are assigned to the same reporting unit as the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses. Reporting units are determined based on the composition of GATX’s operating segments, taking into consideration whether the operating segments consisted of more than one business and, if so, whether the businesses operate in different economic environments. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, then the goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an additional step is performed that compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill (as defined in SFAS No. 142) with the carrying amount of the goodwill. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Fair values of the reporting units are estimated using discounted cash flow models. GATX’s impairment review is performed at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. The impairment test is performed annually in the fourth quarter or in interim periods if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. See Note 10 for additional information.
 
Maintenance and Repair Costs — Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred by GATX in connection with planned major maintenance activities that improve or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life. Regulatory required survey costs for ASC’s vessels are capitalized and depreciated over a five year period.
 
Allowance for Possible Losses — The purpose of the allowance is to provide an estimate of credit losses with respect to gross receivables. Gross receivables include rent, direct finance lease receivables (including leveraged leases net of nonrecourse debt), and loan receivables and direct finance lease residual values. For the purpose of discussion of the allowance for losses, gross receivables exclude direct finance lease residual values. Losses on these residual values are recognized via a charge to earnings and do not affect the allowance. GATX’s estimate of the amount of provision (reversal) for losses incurred in each period requires consideration of historical loss experience, judgments about the impact of present economic conditions, collateral values, and the state of the markets in which GATX participates. GATX may also record specific provisions for known troubled accounts. GATX charges off amounts that management considers unrecoverable from obligors or the disposition of collateral. GATX assesses the recoverability of its receivables by considering several factors, including customer payment history and financial position. The allowance for possible losses is periodically reviewed for adequacy, taking into consideration changes in economic conditions, collateral values, credit quality indicators and customer-specific circumstances. GATX believes that the allowance is adequate to cover losses inherent in the gross receivables portfolio as of December 31, 2007.
 
Convertible Debt — GATX assessed its accounting for the conversion options embedded in its convertible debt issuances in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock and EITF 01-6, The Meaning of “Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock” concluding that the conversion options qualified for equity treatment and that bifurcation and separate accounting treatment of the embedded derivative was not required. GATX also assessed whether its convertible notes contained any beneficial conversion features in accordance with EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios and determined that none was present. Finally, GATX concluded that all other features of its convertible notes, including conversion contingencies and registration rights provisions, were either not derivatives requiring bifurcation and separate accounting or were derivatives, but were determined to have a zero value at the date of issuance. GATX regularly reviews changes in the potential value of these other features and recognizes any such changes in earnings, as applicable.
 
GATX accounted for the conversions of each of its convertible notes in accordance with EITF 90-19, Convertible Bonds with Issuer Option to Settle for Cash upon Conversion, and EITF 03-7, Accounting for the


54


Table of Contents

 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Settlement of the Equity-Settled Portion of a Convertible Debt Instrument That Permits or Requires the Conversion Spread to Be Settled in Stock (Instrument C of Issue No. 90-19). Specifically, GATX relied on the guidance for Instrument C of EITF 90-19, which was most similar to GATX’s conversions, in determining that only the cash payment should be considered in the computation of gain or loss on the extinguishment of the recognized liability; any shares transferred would not be considered in the settlement of the debt component. GATX’s cash payments were limited to the principal portions of each of its convertible notes, thus no gain or loss was recognized upon these conversions. Additionally, any accrued but unpaid interest as of the conversion date was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid in capital in accordance with EITF 85-17, Accrued Interest upon Conversion of Convertible Debt. See Note 13 for additional information.
 
Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 109. Provisions for federal, state and foreign income taxes are calculated on reported income before income taxes based on current tax law. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those previously used in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities is reflected in the provision for income taxes in the period of change. Provisions for income taxes in any given period differ from those currently payable or receivable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than they are for income tax purposes. United States (“U.S.”) income taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates that GATX intends to permanently reinvest in these foreign operations. The cumulative amount of such earnings was $402.3 million at December 31, 2007. In 2005, GATX repatriated $94.5 million of foreign earnings, utilizing the one-time dividends received deduction available under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. See Note 15 for additional information.
 
Derivatives — SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. The statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those derivatives at fair value. GATX records the fair value of all derivatives as either other assets or other liabilities in the balance sheet. Classification of derivative activity in the statements of operations and cash flows is generally determined by the nature of the hedged item. Gains and losses on derivatives that are not accounted for as hedges are classified as other operating expenses and related cash flows are included in cash flows from operating activities.
 
Instruments that meet established accounting criteria are formally designated as qualifying hedges at the inception of the contract. These criteria demonstrate that the derivative is expected to be highly effective at offsetting changes in the fair value or expected cash flows of the underlying exposure both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis. GATX primarily uses derivatives, such as interest rate swap agreements, Treasury rate locks, options and currency forwards, as hedges to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk on existing and anticipated transactions. For qualifying derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in both the derivative and the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged are recognized in earnings. For qualifying derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is recorded as part of other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of all hedges is immediately recognized in earnings. Although GATX does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for purposes other than hedging, certain derivatives may not meet the established criteria to qualify as hedges. These derivatives are adjusted to fair value through earnings immediately. See Note 14 for further information.
 
Environmental Liabilities — Expenditures that relate to current or future operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to environmental reserves. Reserves are recorded in accordance with accounting guidelines to cover work at identified sites when GATX’s liability for environmental

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
cleanup is probable and a reasonable estimate of associated costs can be made. Adjustments to initial estimates are recorded as required. See Note 18 for additional information.
 
Revenue Recognition — Gross income includes rents on operating leases, accretion of income on direct finance leases, interest on loans, marine operating revenue, fees, asset remarketing gains and losses, gains and losses on the sale of portfolio investments and equity securities and share of affiliates’ earnings. Operating lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying leases. Finance lease income is recognized on the basis of the interest method, which produces a constant yield over the term of the lease. Marine operating revenue is recognized as shipping services are performed and revenue is allocated among reporting periods based on the relative transit time in each reporting period for shipments in process at any month end. Asset remarketing income includes gains and losses from the sale of assets from GATX’s portfolio as well as residual sharing fees from the sale of managed assets. Asset remarketing income is recognized upon completion of the sale of assets. Fee income, including management fees received from joint ventures, is recognized as services are performed, which may be over the period of a management contract or as contractual obligations are met.
 
Marine Operating and Maintenance Expenses — Marine operating expenses are categorized as either direct or indirect. Direct expenses, consisting primarily of crewing costs, fuel, tugs, vessel supplies, running repairs and insurance costs are recognized as incurred. Indirect expenses consist of repairs and maintenance and depreciation. Indirect expenses incurred prior to the beginning of the sailing season are deferred and amortized ratably over the anticipated sailing season, generally April 1 — December 31. Indirect expenses incurred during the sailing season are recognized as incurred.
 
Lease and Loan Origination Costs — Initial direct costs of leases are deferred and amortized over the lease term, either as an adjustment to the yield for direct finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. Loan origination fees and related direct loan origination costs for a given loan are offset, and the net amount is deferred and amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income.
 
Residual Values — GATX has investments in the residual values of its operating assets. The residual values represent the estimate of the values of the assets at the end of the lease contracts. GATX initially records these based on appraisals and estimates. Realization of the residual values is dependent on GATX’s ability to market the assets under future market conditions. GATX reviews residual values periodically to determine that recorded amounts are appropriate. For finance lease investments, GATX reviews the estimated residual values of leased equipment at least annually, and any other-than-temporary declines in value are immediately charged to income. In addition to a periodic review, events or changes in circumstances may trigger an earlier review of residual values.
 
Investment Securities — GATX’s portfolio includes warrants received in connection with the financing of non-public, venture-backed companies, common stock received upon the exercise of warrants and debt securities. Equity securities are classified as available-for-sale in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The securities are carried at fair value and unrealized gains and losses arising from re-measuring securities to fair value are included on an after tax basis as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company uses specific identification as the basis to determine the amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon sale of the securities. Under the provisions of SFAS 133, warrants are accounted for as derivatives, with changes in fair value recorded in current earnings. Upon conversion of the warrants to shares of common stock, the warrants are reclassified in the balance sheet as equity securities. Debt securities that management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost. Interest on debt securities, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, are included in interest expense, net. Debt securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value below the security’s amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary.
 
Foreign Currency Translation — The assets and liabilities of GATX’s operations having non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated at exchange rates in effect at year end and statements of operations and cash

flows are translated at weighted average exchange rates for the year. In accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency financial statements are deferred and recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure requirements related to the use of fair value measurements. The statement is effective for financial statements issued in 2008. The application of SFAS 157 is not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”), which permits entities to elect to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The statement is effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The application of SFAS 159 is not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date; the immediate expense recognition of transaction costs and the accounting for restructuring costs separately from the business combination. This Statement also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning 2009 and adoption is prospective only.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests of consolidated subsidiaries as a component of shareholders’ equity on the balance sheet; include all earnings of a consolidated subsidiary in consolidated results of operations; and treat all transactions between an entity and the noncontrolling interest as equity transactions between the parties. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and adoption is prospective only; however, the presentation and disclosure requirements must be applied retrospectively. The Company does not consolidate any partially owned subsidiaries and therefore does not expect the application of this standard to have a material impact to its financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

NOTE 5.   Leases
 
The following information pertains to GATX as a lessor:
 
Finance Leases — GATX’s finance leases are comprised of direct financing leases and leveraged leases. Investment in direct finance leases consists of lease receivables, plus the estimated residual value of the equipment at the lease termination dates, less unearned income. Lease receivables represent the total rent to be received over the term of the lease reduced by rent already collected. Initial unearned income is the amount by which the original sum of the lease receivable and the estimated residual value exceeds the original cost of the leased equipment. Unearned income is amortized to lease income over the lease term in a manner that produces a constant rate of return on the net investment in the lease.
 
Finance leases that are financed principally with nonrecourse borrowings at lease inception and that meet certain criteria are accounted for as leveraged leases. Leveraged lease receivables are stated net of the related nonrecourse debt. Initial unearned income represents the excess of anticipated cash flows (including estimated residual values, net of the related debt service) over the original investment in the lease. The Company recognized income from leveraged leases (net of taxes) of $3.1 million, $3.8 million and $3.8 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Operating Leases — Rental income from operating leases is generally reported on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental income on certain leases is based on equipment usage. Rental income from usage rents was $22.7 million, $20.7 million and $18.3 million, in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The following information pertains to GATX as a lessee:
 
Capital Leases — GATX assets that are financed with capital lease obligations and subsequently leased to customers under either operating or finance leases, or otherwise utilized in operations at December 31 were (in millions):
 
                 
    2007     2006  
 
Railcars and other equipment
  $ 72.6     $ 48.0

    (111.3 )     (108.7 )
                 
    $ 59.3     $ 37.3  
                 
 
Depreciation of capital lease assets is classified as depreciation in the consolidated statement of operations. Interest expense on the above capital leases was $3.9 million, $4.3 million and $5.3 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Operating Leases — GATX has financed railcars and other assets through sale-leasebacks that are accounted for as operating leases. A subsidiary of GATX has provided a guarantee for a portion of the residual values related to two operating leases. GATX also leases office facilities and certain related administrative assets. Operating lease expense related to these leases is included in selling, general and administrative expense. Total operating lease expense was $162.5 million, $173.9 million and $187.6 million, in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Certain operating leases provide options for GATX to renew the leases or purchase the assets at the end of the lease term. The specific terms of the renewal and purchase options vary.
 
In 2005, GATX completed a sale leaseback transaction for approximately 2,900 of its railcars (net book value of $170.0 million) for net proceeds of $201.3 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of $31.3 million, which was deferred and is being amortized as a component of operating lease expense over the 21-year term of the resulting operating lease.

The future minimum rental payments due under recourse operating leases are reduced by $13.3 million of minimum sublease rentals to be received in the future. The minimum rental payments do not include the costs of licenses, taxes, insurance, and maintenance, for which GATX is required to pay. The amounts shown for nonrecourse operating leases primarily reflect the rental payments of three bankruptcy remote, special-purpose corporations that are wholly owned by GATX. These rentals are consolidated for accounting purposes, but do not represent legal obligations of GATX.
 
NOTE 6.   Loans
 
Loans are recorded at the principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest. The loan portfolio, which consists primarily of equipment related loans, is reviewed regularly and a loan is classified as impaired when it is probable that GATX will be unable to collect all amounts due under the loan agreement. Since most loans are collateralized, impairment is generally measured as the amount by which the recorded investment in the loan exceeds expected repayments plus the fair value of the underlying collateral. Generally, interest income is not recognized on impaired loans until the loan has been paid up to contractually current status or conditions warrant.
 
Total loans of $8.8 million and $36.0 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, included impaired loans of zero and $0.1 million, respectively. The Company has recorded an allowance for possible losses of zero and $0.1 million on impaired loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The average balance of impaired loans was zero, $4.5 million and $11.2 million during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest income recognized related to impaired loans was zero, $1.0 million and zero in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 7.   Allowance for Possible Losses
 
The purpose of the allowance is to provide an estimate of credit losses inherent in its reservable assets. Reservable assets include rent and other receivables, loans and finance leases. GATX’s estimate of the amount of loss incurred in each period requires consideration of historical loss experience, judgments about the impact of present economic conditions, collateral values, and the state of the markets in which GATX participates, in addition to specific losses for known troubled accounts. GATX charges off amounts that management considers unrecoverable either from obligors or through the disposition of collateral. GATX assesses the recoverability of investments by considering factors such as a customer’s payment history, financial position and the value of the related collateral.
 
The following summarizes changes in the allowance for possible losses at December 31 (in millions):
 
                         
    2007     2006     2005  
 
Balance at the beginning of the year
  $ 9.6     $ 12.7     $ 21.0  
Provision (reversal) for possible losses
    0.1       (2.1 )     (5.6 )
Charges to allowance
    (1.3 )     (1.9 )     (4.7 )
Recoveries and other
    2.6       0.9       2.0  
                         
Balance at the end of the year
  $ 11.0     $ 9.6     $ 12.7  
                         
 
The reversals of provision for losses in 2006 and 2005 were primarily due to favorable credit experience. There were no material changes in estimation methods or assumptions for the allowance during 2007. GATX believes that the allowance is adequate to cover losses inherent in the gross receivables portfolio as of December 31, 2007. Since the allowance is based on judgments and estimates, it is possible that those judgments and estimates could change in the future, causing a corresponding change in the recorded allowance.
 
NOTE 8.   Investments in Affiliated Companies
 
Investments in affiliated companies represent investments in, and loans to and from, domestic and foreign companies and joint ventures that are in businesses similar to those of GATX, such as lease financing and related services for customers operating rail, marine and industrial equipment assets, as well as other business activities, including ventures that provide asset residual value guarantees in both domestic and foreign markets. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, these investments include net loans to affiliated companies of $2.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and net loans from affiliated companies of $56.0 million and $54.0 million, respectively. Distributions received from affiliates were $93.4 million, $74.8 million and $68.8 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 9.   Variable Interest Entities
 
GATX has ownership interests in certain investments that are considered Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) in accordance with FIN 46(R). GATX is not the primary beneficiary with respect to any of the VIEs. As a result, GATX does not consolidate these entities. These entities are generally involved in railcar and equipment leasing activities. The nature of GATX’s involvement with these entities primarily consists of equity investments and leveraged leases which were acquired or entered into between 1994 and 2006. GATX continues to evaluate new investments for the application of FIN 46(R) and regularly reviews all existing VIE’s in connection with any reconsideration events as defined in FIN 46(R) that may result in GATX becoming the primary beneficiary. GATX’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these VIEs is approximately $130.3 million of which $109.6 million was the aggregate carrying value of these investments recorded on the balance sheet at December 31, 2007. The difference between the carrying value and maximum loss exposure relates to GATX’s guarantee of an affiliate’s lease obligation that runs through 2018.
 
NOTE 10.   Goodwill
 
Goodwill was $104.4 million and $92.8 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, GATX performed its annual review for impairment of goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 2006, concluding that its goodwill was not impaired.

Credit Lines and Facilities
 
GATX filed a shelf registration statement for debt securities and pass-through trust certificates in 2007. The registration statement is effective through August 2010 and there is no limit on the amount of issuance. GATX also has a $550.0 million senior unsecured revolving facility which matures May 2012. At December 31, 2007, availability under the revolving credit facility was $290.9 million, with $242.8 million of commercial paper outstanding and $16.3 million of letters of credit issued, both backed by the facility. Annual commitment fees for the revolving credit facility are based on a percentage of the commitment and were $0.5 million, $0.7 million and $1.0 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. GATX also has revolving lines of credit totaling $45.2 million in Europe. At December 31, 2007, availability under those revolving lines of credit was $40.9 million.

Restrictive Covenants
 
The revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and an asset coverage test. GATX’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges, as defined in the credit facility, was 2.1x for the period ended December 31, 2007, in excess of the minimum covenant ratio of 1.2x. At December 31, 2007, GATX was in compliance with all covenants and conditions of the credit facility.
 
The indentures for GATX’s public debt also contain restrictive covenants, including limitations on loans, advances or investments in related parties and dividends it may distribute. Some of the indentures also contain limitation on lien provisions that limit the amount of secured indebtedness that GATX may incur, subject to several exceptions, including those permitting an unlimited amount of purchase money indebtedness and nonrecourse indebtedness. In addition to the other specified exceptions, GATX would be able to incur liens securing a maximum of $871.2 million of additional indebtedness as of December 31, 2007, based on the most restrictive limitation on liens provision. At December 31, 2007, GATX was in compliance with all covenants and conditions of the indentures.
 
The loan agreements for certain of GATX’s wholly owned European subsidiaries (collectively, “GRE”) also contain restrictive covenants, including leverage and cash flow covenants specific to those subsidiaries, restrictions on making loans and limitations on the ability of these subsidiaries to repay loans to certain related parties (including GATX) and to pay dividends to GATX. The covenants relating to loans and dividends effectively limit the ability of GRE to transfer funds to GATX. At December 31, 2007, the maximum amount that GRE could transfer to GATX without violating its covenants was $25.9 million, implying that $349.4 million of subsidiary net assets were restricted. Restricted net assets are defined as equity less 50% of free cash flow. At December 31, 2007, GRE was in compliance with all covenants and conditions of these loan agreements.
 
Another subsidiary’s financing, guaranteed by GATX, contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements for GATX to maintain a defined net worth and a fixed charge coverage ratio. This fixed charge coverage ratio covenant is less restrictive than that contained in the revolving credit facility.
 
GATX does not anticipate any covenant violations nor does it anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict its operations or its ability to procure additional financing.
 
Convertible Securities
 
2002 Convertible Notes — In February 2002, GATX issued $175.0 million long-term, 7.5% senior unsecured convertible notes (the “2002 Notes”), of which a balance of $124.3 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2006. The notes matured February 2007.
 
2003 Convertible Notes — In August 2003, GATX issued $125.0 million, 5.0% senior unsecured notes, due in August 2023, which are convertible into GATX common stock. As of December 31, 2007, $106.8 million of the notes were outstanding and convertible at a conversion price of $24.81 per share. GATX has the right, beginning in August 2008, to redeem the notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. If GATX provides notice of redemption, the holders of the notes may elect to exercise their conversion privilege. Upon conversion, GATX may elect, at its option, to deliver cash, shares of GATX common stock or any combination thereof. A summary of the various terms and contingencies contained in the 2003 Notes follows.
 
Holders of the 2003 Notes have the right to require all or a portion of the notes to be purchased at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest in August 2008, August 2013 and August 2018. Any required purchases in August 2008, will be payable in cash, whereas any purchases in August 2013 or August 2018 may be paid in cash or shares of GATX common stock or any combination thereof, at GATX’s option. GATX also has the right, beginning in August 2008, to redeem the notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Table of Contents

 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
The 2003 Notes are convertible into GATX common stock upon the resolution of any of five contingencies: (1) during any applicable conversion period in which the trading price of GATX common stock is greater than or equal to 120% of the conversion price, (2) upon specified negative credit rating agency actions, (3) if GATX calls the notes for redemption, (4) if the trading price of the notes is less than 95% of the conversion value (subject to certain conditions), (5) upon specified corporate events such as certain distributions of stock rights or assets or in the event of a merger or consolidation. Upon conversion, GATX may elect, at its option, to deliver cash, shares of GATX common stock or any combination thereof.
 
The 2003 Notes carry a contingent interest provision that beginning on August 15, 2008, if the average trading price of the 2003 Notes equals 120% or more of the principal amount of the Notes, GATX may be required to pay additional interest for any six month period equal to 0.25% of the trading price of $1,000 principal amount of the notes. GATX may avoid paying this contingent interest by calling the notes prior to the record date for the contingent interest period.
 
Maturities and Conversions of Convertible Notes — During 2007, the remaining balance of the 2002 Notes was settled with a cash payment of $124.3 million for the principal balance and the issuance of 1.0 million shares of GATX common stock for the difference between GATX’s stock price at the time of conversion and the conversion price (the “conversion premium”). Additionally in 2007, certain of the 2003 Notes were converted, resulting in a cash payment of $18.2 million for the principal balance and 0.4 million shares issued for the conversion premium. Additionally, accrued interest of $4.8 million ($2.8 million after tax) was forfeited upon conversion and reclassified to additional paid in capital.
 
NOTE 14.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
GATX may enter into derivative transactions for purposes of reducing earnings volatility and hedging specific financial exposures, including movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates on debt securities. These instruments are entered into only for hedging underlying exposures. GATX does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for purposes other than hedging, except for warrants, which are not hedges. Certain derivatives may not meet the established criteria to be designated qualifying accounting hedges, even though GATX believes they are effective economic hedges.
 
Fair Value Hedges — GATX uses interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate debt to floating rate debt and to manage the fixed to floating rate mix of its debt obligations. The fair value of interest rate swap agreements is determined based on the differences between the contractual rate of interest and the rates currently quoted for agreements of similar terms and maturities. As of December 31, 2007, maturities for fair value hedges range from 2009-2015.
 
Cash Flow Hedges — GATX’s interest expense is affected by changes in interest rates as a result of its use of variable rate debt instruments, including commercial paper and other floating rate debt. GATX uses interest rate swaps and forward starting interest rate swaps to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt and to manage the floating to fixed rate ratio of the debt portfolio. The fair value of interest rate swap agreements is determined based on the differences between the contractual rate of interest and the rates currently quoted for agreements of similar terms and maturities. GATX enters into cross currency and interest rate swaps, currency and interest rate forwards, and Treasury rate locks as hedges to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk on existing and anticipated transactions. The fair values of these derivatives are based on interest rate swap rates, Treasury and LIBOR futures, currency rates, and forward foreign exchange rates. As of December 31, 2007, maturities for qualifying cash flow hedges range from 2008-2015.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, amounts recognized in earnings for hedge ineffectiveness were immaterial. As of December 31, 2007, GATX expects to reclassify $2.1 million ($1.3 million after tax) of net losses on derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings within the next twelve months as interest and lease expenses related to the hedged risks affect earnings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Other Financial Instruments — The fair values of other financial instruments represent the amounts at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent receivables, accounts payable, commercial paper and bank credit facilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amounts of held-to-maturity securities, which are variable rate, and variable rate loans also approximate their fair values. Available-for-sale securities and warrants are carried at fair value. The fair values of fixed rate loans were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, at interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The fair values of variable and fixed rate debt, excluding convertible securities, were estimated by performing a discounted cash flow calculation using the term and market interest rate for each note based on an estimate of GATX’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements. Convertible debt securities were valued using third party quotes.
 
Portions of variable rate debt have effectively been converted to fixed rate debt by utilizing interest rate swaps (GATX pays fixed rate interest, receives floating rate interest). Portions of fixed rate debt have effectively been converted to floating rate debt by utilizing interest rate swaps (GATX pays floating rate interest, receives fixed rate interest). In such instances, the increase (decrease) in the fair value of the variable or fixed rate debt would be offset in part by the increase (decrease) in the fair value of the interest rate swap.
 
The following table sets forth the carrying amounts and fair values of GATX’s financial instruments as of December 31 (in millions):

In the event that a counterparty fails to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreement or a foreign exchange contract, GATX’s exposure is limited to the fair value of the swap if in GATX’s favor. GATX manages the credit risk of counterparties by transacting only with institutions that the Company considers financially sound and by

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
avoiding concentrations of risk with a single counterparty. GATX considers the risk of non-performance by a counterparty to be remote.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, gains (losses) of $1.1 million, $(1.1) million and $2.1 million, respectively, were recognized in earnings for derivatives that did not qualify as hedges.
 
NOTE 15.   Income Taxes
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
 
Significant components of GATX’s deferred tax liabilities and assets were (in millions):

The alternative minimum tax credit of $13.1 million was utilized during 2007 to offset current U.S. federal income tax expense.
 
On January 1, 2007, GATX adopted the provisions of FIN 48. In accordance with FIN 48, during the year, liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits were reclassified from deferred tax liabilities and are now accounted for separately. The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in an $11.0 million decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding increase to the 2007 opening balance of retained earnings. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of GATX’s gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions):
 
         
Balance at January 1, 2007
  $ 41.2  
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year
    15.5  
Additions to tax positions of prior years, including interest

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
If fully recognized, GATX’s gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $60.9 million would decrease income tax expense by $45.0 million ($39.2 million net of federal tax benefits).
 
GATX files numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. During 2006, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. consolidated income tax returns for years 2003 through 2005, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2008. Additionally, the IRS substantially completed its audit of the Company’s income tax returns for the years 1998 though 2002. As part of this audit, the Company entered the IRS appeals process to address one disputed issue. During 2007, the Company and the IRS were unable to resolve the disputed issue utilizing the appeals process. GATX rejected the proposed adjustment as it believes that its tax position related to this issue was proper based upon applicable statutes, regulations and case law. The Company does not anticipate that the resolution of this matter, including any potential litigation, will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. All examinations with respect to U.S. tax returns for years prior to 1998 have been closed.
 
Subject to the completion of certain audits or the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that, within the next 12 months, unrecognized state tax benefits of $7.0 million and foreign tax benefits of $1.7 million may be recognized. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2007, the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits included $7.1 million related to interest. No amounts have been accrued for penalties. To the extent interest is not assessed or otherwise decreased with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and recorded as a reduction of income tax expense.

To take advantage of the one-time dividends received deduction in the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, GATX repatriated $94.5 million of foreign earnings in 2005 at a U.S. tax cost of $9.9 million. The tax cost includes federal and state income taxes on the taxable portion of the dividends and related non-deductible costs, and foreign withholding taxes.
 
The effective income tax rate is impacted by foreign taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates which are imposed at rates that are different than the U.S. federal statutory rate. Foreign taxes are also withheld on certain payments received by the Company from foreign sources. The impact of foreign earnings subject to tax at

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate is shown above. The foreign income tax rate effects exclude the impact on deferred taxes of enacted changes in foreign rates, which are identified separately.
 
The tax rate decreases on deferred taxes recorded in 2007 and in 2006 are the result of changes in foreign income tax rates enacted in those years.
 
The extraterritorial income exclusion (“ETI”) is an exemption from U.S. federal income tax for the lease of U.S. manufactured equipment to foreign lessees. ETI was repealed for years after 2004 with a reduced benefit allowable in 2005 and 2006 under transition rules.
 
State income taxes are provided on domestic pre-tax income or loss. The effect of state income tax on the overall income tax rate is impacted by the amount of domestic income subject to state taxes relative to total income from all sources.
 
NOTE 16.   Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefits
 
GATX maintains both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering its domestic employees and the employees of certain of its subsidiaries. GATX also has a funded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan related to a closed subsidiary in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). The U.K. pension plan no longer has any active members and is closed to new entrants. Benefits payable under the pension plans are based on years of service and/or final average salary. The funding policy for the pension plans is based on actuarially determined cost methods allowable under IRS regulations and statutory regulations in the U.K.
 
In addition to the pension plans, GATX has other post-retirement plans providing health care, life insurance and other benefits for certain retired domestic employees who meet established criteria. Most domestic employees are eligible for health care and life insurance benefits if they retire from GATX with immediate benefits under the GATX pension plan. The plans are either contributory or noncontributory, depending on various factors.
 
In July 2007, amendments were made to the funded and unfunded plans for salaried employees to eliminate early retirement subsidies for benefits earned after June 30, 2007, and to add an option for lump sum payments. The effect of the plan amendments decreased the aggregate accumulated benefit obligation by $10.3 million.

The previous tables include amounts allocated each year to discontinued operations, all of which were immaterial. The amount reported for plan settlement cost in 2005 relates to a lump sum payment election made for the non-qualified portion of a pension benefit. Amounts shown for curtailment loss (gain) related to discontinued operations.
 
GATX amortizes the unrecognized prior service cost and the unrecognized net obligation using a straight-line method over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. The excess of recognized net gains or losses (excluding asset gains and losses not yet reflected in the market-related value of assets) above the greater of 10% of the projected benefit obligation or 10% of the market-related value of the assets are amortized by dividing this excess, if any, by the average remaining service period of active employees. As of December 31, 2007, GATX expects to recognize the following accumulated other comprehensive loss (income) amounts within the next twelve months as components of net benefits costs: $1.4 million of the defined benefit pension plans’ net actuarial loss, $1.1 million of the defined benefit plans’ prior service credit, $0.3 million of the other post-retirement benefit plans’ net actuarial loss and $0.1 million of the other post-retirement benefit plans’ prior service credit.

GATX determines a long-term rate of return assumption on plan assets for its funded pension plans based on current and expected asset allocations, as well as historical and expected returns on various categories of plan assets. GATX reviews historical markets as well as peer group data to determine its expected long-term rate of return for each of the plans. GATX routinely reviews its historical returns along with current market conditions to ensure its long-term rate of return assumption on plan assets is reasonable and appropriate.
 
The health care cost trend, which is comprised of medical and prescription drugs claims has a significant effect on the other post-retirement benefit cost and obligation. The assumed medical claims and prescription drug claims rates for 2007 were 7.50% and 12.00%, respectively. The assumed medical and prescription drugs claims cost rates

anticipated for 2008 will be 7.00% and 11.00%, respectively. Over the following five-year period, medical claims are expected to gradually decline to 5.00% and remain at that level thereafter. Over the following ten-year period, the prescription drug claims rates are expected to gradually decline to 5.00% and remain at that level thereafter.

GATX’s investment policies require that asset allocations of domestic and foreign funded pension plans be maintained at certain targets. GATX’s weighted-average asset allocations of its domestic funded pension plans at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and current target asset allocation for 2008, by asset category, are as follows:
 
                         
          Plan Assets at
 
          December 31  
    Target     2007     2006

      100.0 %     100.0 %     100.0 %
                         
 
GATX’s weighted-average asset allocations of its foreign funded pension plan at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and current target asset allocation for 2008, by asset category, are as follows:
 
                         
          Plan Assets at

The primary objective of the pension plans is to represent the exclusive interests of plan participants for the purpose of providing benefits to participants and their beneficiaries. To reach this goal, GATX’s philosophy is to invest in a diversified mix of equities, debt, and real estate investments to maximize return and to keep risk at a reasonable level over a long-term investment horizon. Its equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S.stocks as well as growth, value, and small to large capitalizations. Its debt securities are also diversified and include: governments, agencies, investment grade and high-yield corporate bonds, mortgage-back securities, and other collateralized investments. GATX’s real estate investments include investments in funds that are diversified by location and property type.
 
On a timely basis, but not less than twice a year, GATX formally reviews actual results to ensure adherence to investment guidelines and the Company’s stated investment approach. This review also evaluates reasonableness of investment decisions and risk positions. The performance of investments is compared to indices and peers to determine if performance has been acceptable.

GATX expects to contribute approximately $2.2 million to its pension plans (domestic and foreign) and approximately $5.7 million to its other post-retirement benefit plans in 2008. Additional contributions to the domestic funded pension plans will be dependent on several factors including investment returns on plan assets and actuarial experience.

In addition to its defined benefit plans, GATX maintains two 401(k) retirement plans that are available to substantially all salaried and certain other employee groups. GATX may contribute to the plans as specified by their respective terms, and as determined by the Board of Directors. Contributions to such plans were $1.5 million, $1.5 million, and $1.6 million for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Contributions to discontinued operations were immaterial in each year.
 
NOTE 17.   Concentrations and Commitments
 
Concentrations
 
Concentration of Revenues — GATX’s revenues are derived from a wide range of industries and companies. Approximately 22% of total revenues are generated from customers in the chemical industry, 22% are derived from the petroleum industry, and 10% are derived from each of the transportation industry and food/agricultural industry. GATX’s foreign identifiable revenues include railcar operations in Canada, Mexico, Poland, Austria and Germany. The Company did not derive revenues in excess of 10% of consolidated revenues from any one foreign country for any of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk — Under its lease agreements with lessees, GATX retains legal ownership of the asset except where such assets have been financed by sale-leasebacks. For most loan financings to customers, the loan is collateralized by specifically related equipment. GATX performs credit evaluations prior to approval of a


77


Table of Contents

 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
lease or loan contract. Subsequently, the creditworthiness of the customer and the value of the collateral are monitored on an ongoing basis. GATX maintains an allowance for possible losses to provide for credit losses inherent in its reservable assets portfolio. The Company did not derive revenues in excess of 10% of consolidated revenues from any one customer for any of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
 
Concentration of Labor Force — 51% of GATX employees were covered by union contracts at December 31, 2007. The shipboard personnel at ASC belong to the United Steelworkers of America (“USWA”), the American Maritime Officers (“AMO”) and the Seafarers International Union (“SIU”), as the case may be. ASC has agreements with the SIU and AMO that are effective until 2011. The hourly employees at Rail’s U.S. service centers belong to the USWA and are operating under an agreement that is in effect through February 2010.
 
Commitments
 
Unconditional Purchase Obligations — At December 31, 2007, GATX’s unconditional purchase obligations of $545.2 million were primarily for railcars to be acquired during 2008 and 2009 (in millions):

Commercial Commitments — In connection with certain investments or transactions, GATX has entered into various commercial commitments, such as guarantees and standby letters of credit, which could potentially require performance in the event of demands by third parties. Similar to GATX’s balance sheet investments, these guarantees expose GATX to credit, market and equipment risk; accordingly, GATX evaluates its commitments and other contingent obligations using techniques similar to those used to evaluate funded transactions.
 
The following table shows GATX’s commercial commitments for continuing operations (in millions):
 
                 
    December 31  
    2007     2006  
 
Affiliate guarantees
  $ 20.7     $ 24.2  
Asset residual value guarantees
    121.7       144.5  
Lease payment guarantees
    68.8       20.8  
Other guarantees
    77.8       77.8  
                 
Total guarantees
    289.0       267.3  
Standby letters of credit and bonds
    17.7       15.8  
                 
    $ 306.7     $ 283.1  
                 
 
At December 31, 2007, the maximum potential amount of guarantees under which GATX could be required to perform was $289.0 million. The related carrying value of the guarantees on the balance sheet, including deferred revenue primarily associated with residual value guarantees entered into prior to the effective date of FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, was a liability of $0.9 million. The expirations of these guarantees range from 2008 to 2017.

Table of Contents

 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Affiliate guarantees generally involve guaranteeing repayment of the financing utilized to acquire or lease in assets being leased by an affiliate to customers, and are in lieu of making direct equity investments in the affiliate. GATX is not aware of any event of default which would require it to satisfy these guarantees, and expects the affiliates to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy their lease and loan obligations.
 
Asset residual value guarantees represent GATX’s commitment to third parties that an asset or group of assets will be worth a specified amount at the end of a lease term. Revenue is earned for providing these asset value guarantees in the form of an initial fee (which is amortized into income over the guarantee period) and by sharing in any proceeds received upon disposition of the assets to the extent such proceeds are in excess of the amount guaranteed (which is recorded when realized). Any liability resulting from GATX’s performance pursuant to the residual value guarantees will be reduced by the value realized from the underlying asset or group of assets. Historically, gains associated with the residual value guarantees have exceeded any losses and were recorded in asset remarketing income in the consolidated statements of operations. Based on known facts and current market conditions, management does not believe that the asset residual value guarantees will result in any significant adverse financial impact to the Company. GATX believes these asset residual value guarantees will likely generate future income in the form of fees and residual sharing proceeds.
 
Lease payment guarantees represent GATX’s guarantees to financial institutions of finance and operating lease payments of unrelated parties in exchange for a fee.
 
Other consists of GATX’s indemnification of Airbus S.A.S. (“Airbus”) for amounts Airbus may be required to pay under certain specified circumstances to GATX Flightlease Aircraft Ltd., a joint venture partially owned by GATX (“GFAC”), in connection with an aircraft purchase contract entered into by GFAC and Airbus in 2001. GATX’s indemnification obligation is capped at approximately $77.8 million. No liability has been recorded with respect to this indemnification as GATX believes that the likelihood of having to perform under the indemnity is remote. The aircraft purchase contract, and other agreements relating thereto, have been the subject of various litigation proceedings that are described in Note 18.
 
GATX and its subsidiaries are also parties to standing letters of credit and bonds primarily related to workers’ compensation and general liability insurance overages. No material claims have been made against these obligations. At December 31, 2007, management does not expect any material losses to result from these off balance sheet instruments since performance is not expected to be required.
 
NOTE 18.   Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies
 
Legal — Various legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business, including certain matters more fully described below, are pending against GATX and certain of its subsidiaries. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could ultimately be decided, resolved or settled adversely.
 
Flightlease Litigation
 
In 1999, GATX Third Aircraft Corporation (“Third Aircraft”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of GATX Financial Corporation (“GFC”, which merged into GATX in 2007), entered into a joint venture agreement with Flightlease Holdings (Guernsey) Ltd. (“FHG”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the SAirGroup, and formed a joint venture entity, GATX Flightlease Aircraft Ltd. (“GFAC”) to purchase a number of aircraft. In September 1999, GFAC entered into an agreement (the “GFAC Agreement”) with Airbus S.A.S. (“Airbus”) and by October 1, 2001, GFAC had ordered a total of 41 aircraft (the “GFAC Aircraft”) from Airbus and had made aggregate unutilized pre-delivery payments (“PDPs”) to Airbus of approximately $227.6 million. Subsequently, on October 4, 2001, the joint venture partners entered into an agreement (the “Split Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed (i) to divide responsibility for the GFAC Aircraft, (ii) to allocate the PDPs between them in the amounts of


79


Table of Contents

 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
approximately $77.8 million to Third Aircraft and approximately $149.8 million to FHG, and (iii) that each would enter into separate agreements with Airbus to purchase its allocated aircraft or equivalent aircraft (such aircraft allocated to Third Aircraft being the “GATX Allocated Aircraft”). Subsequently, GFC and an affiliate of Airbus entered into a new purchase agreement for the GATX Allocated Aircraft (the “GATX Agreement”) and GFC received a credit of $77.8 million of the PDPs towards the acquisition of the aircraft. In connection with the GATX Agreement, GFC agreed that in certain specified circumstances it would pay to Airbus any amount up to $77.8 million which Airbus is required to pay to GFAC in reimbursement of PDPs paid by GFAC with respect to the GATX Allocated Aircraft (such agreement being the “Reimbursement Agreement”). Under the Split Agreement, FHG was to take the benefit of the remaining PDPs allocated to it (approximately $149.8 million) and enter into a new contract with Airbus but, following SAirGroup’s bankruptcy, FHG did not enter into such a contract, and Airbus then declared GFAC in default and retained the approximately $149.8 million in PDPs held by it as damages.
 
On October 10, 2005, GFAC filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State and County of New York against Airbus alleging that Airbus’ termination of the GFAC Agreement was wrongful and seeking restitution and damages in an unspecified amount in the “millions of dollars.” On December 7, 2005, FHG, acting by its liquidators (the “FHG Liquidators”), filed a motion to intervene and an accompanying complaint, which was granted on February 16, 2006 (the “Airbus Action”). Fact discovery in the Airbus Action is largely complete and cross motions for summary judgment are currently pending. Should GFAC ultimately succeed in recovering from Airbus those PDPs with respect to the GATX Allocated Aircraft, GATX, as a successor in interest to GFC, may be obligated to make a payment to Airbus under the Reimbursement Agreement in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount so recovered or (y) approximately $77.8 million. The Company believes it unlikely that Airbus will be required to make such a payment to GFAC and the Company further believes that Third Aircraft, as a 50% owner of GFAC, should recover at least such amount from GFAC if it prevails in the Airbus Action.
 
On October 14, 2005, the FHG Liquidators filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, purportedly as a derivative complaint on behalf of GFAC, against GFC, Third Aircraft, and Mr. James H. Morris and Mr. Alan M. Reinke, then officers of a division of GFC (the “FHG Action”). The complaint alleged that Messrs. Morris and Reinke, as directors of GFAC, breached their fiduciary duties and that GFC and Third Aircraft knowingly assisted such breaches, thereby depriving GFAC of assets. The complaint seeks damages in an amount including, but not necessarily limited to, approximately $227.6 million. Messrs. Morris and Reinke are indemnified against losses they suffer or incur as a result of their service as GFAC directors. The Company believes there is no valid basis for any claim made by the FHG Liquidators in the complaint against GFC, Third Aircraft, and/or Messrs. Morris and Reinke.
 
The parties to the FHG Action entered into a Tolling and Standstill Agreement (the “Tolling Agreement”) in October of 2006 which, among other things, provides for a standstill of claims or potential claims until the conclusion of the Airbus Action described above. The Tolling Agreement does not resolve the merits or liability for (or against) any claims nor require payment of any monetary damages by any party to another party
 
The Company believes that the likelihood of loss with respect to these matters is remote and as a result has not recorded any accrual as of December 31, 2007. While it is reasonably possible that the Company may ultimately incur a loss in these matters, at this time an estimate of the amount of such loss cannot be made.
 
Polskie Koleje Panstwowe S.A. v. DEC sp. z o.o.
 
In December 2005, Polskie Koleje Panstwowe S.A. (“PKP”) filed a complaint, Polskie Koleje Panstwowe S.A. v. DEC sp. z o.o., in the Regional Court in Warsaw, Poland against DEC sp. z o.o. (“DEC”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, currently named GATX Rail Poland, sp. Zo.o. The complaint alleges that, prior to GATX’s acquisition of DEC in 2001, DEC breached a Conditional Sales Agreement (“Agreement”) to purchase shares of Kolsped S.A. (the “Kolsped”) which was an indirect subsidiary of PKP. The condition allegedly breached required DEC to obtain a release of Kolsped’s ultimate parent company, PKP, from its guarantee of Kolsped’s

promissory note securing a $9.8 million bank loan. Pursuant to an amendment to the Agreement, DEC satisfied this condition by providing PKP with a blank promissory note (the “DEC Note”) and a promissory note declaration which allowed PKP to fill in the DEC Note up to $10 million in the event a demand was made upon it as guarantor of Kolsped’s note to the bank (“Kolsped Note”). On November 7, 2002, the then current holder of the Kolsped Note, a bank, secured a judgment against PKP.
 
After exhausting its appeals of the judgment entered against it, PKP filed suit against DEC alleging that DEC failed to fulfill its obligation to release PKP as a guarantor of the Kolsped Note, and is purportedly liable to PKP, as a third party beneficiary of the Agreement, for approximately $36 million, the amount, based on current exchange rates, including interest and costs, PKP allegedly paid to the bank. On February 20, 2006, DEC answered the complaint, denying the material allegations and raising numerous defenses including, among others, that: (i) the Agreement did not create an actionable obligation, but rather was a condition precedent to the purchase of shares in Kolsped; (ii) DEC fulfilled that condition by issuing the DEC Note, which was subsequently lost by PKP and declared invalid by a Polish court; (iii) PKP was not a third party beneficiary of the Agreement; and (iv) the action is barred by the governing limitations period. The trial is scheduled to commence on March 5, 2008.
 
GATX Rail Poland intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. However, the Company has recorded an accrual for $10 million representing management’s best estimate of a probable settlement amount. While the ultimate resolution of this matter for an amount in excess of this accrual is possible, the Company believes that any such excess would not be material to its financial position or liquidity. However, such resolution could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.
 
Other Litigation
 
GATX and its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in a number of other legal actions and claims, various governmental proceedings and private civil suits arising in the ordinary course of business, including those related to environmental matters, workers’ compensation claims by GATX employees and other personal injury claims. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for punitive as well as compensatory damages.
 
Several of the Company’s subsidiaries have also been named as defendants or co-defendants in cases alleging injury relating to asbestos. In these cases, the plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages based on common law, statutory or premises liability or, in the case of ASC, the Jones Act, which makes limited remedies available to certain maritime employees. In addition, demand has been made against the Company under limited indemnities for asbestos related claims given in connection with the sale of subsidiaries. As of February 15, 2008, there were 1,331 asbestos-related cases pending against the Company’s current or former subsidiaries. Out of the total number of pending cases, 1,203 are Jones Act claims, most of which were filed against ASC prior to the year 2000. During 2007, 47 new asbestos-related cases were filed and 70 cases were dismissed or settled. During 2006, 124 new asbestos-related cases were filed and 112 cases were dismissed or settled. During 2005, 22 new cases were filed and 46 cases were dismissed or settled. For this three year period, the aggregate amount paid to settle asbestos-related cases filed against the Company’s subsidiaries and the former subsidiary was less than $290,000. It is possible that the number of these cases could begin to grow and that the cost of these cases, including costs to defend, could correspondingly increase in the future.
 
The amounts claimed in some of the above described proceedings are substantial and, while the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time, considering among other things, meritorious legal defenses and applicable insurance coverage, it is the opinion of management that none of these matters, when ultimately resolved, will have a material adverse effect on GATX’s consolidated financial position or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

Accruals and Reserves
 
The Company has recorded accruals totaling $11.7 million at December 31, 2007, for losses related to those litigation matters the Company believes to be probable and for which the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate amount of liability that may result from these matters cannot be predicted with absolute certainty, it is the opinion of management that none of these matters, when ultimately resolved, will have a material adverse effect on GATX’s consolidated financial position or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.
 
Environmental — The Company’s operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental regulations. GATX’s operating procedures include practices to protect the environment from the risks inherent in railcar leasing, which frequently involve transporting chemicals and other hazardous materials. Additionally, some of GATX’s land holdings, including previously owned properties, are and have been used for industrial or transportation-related purposes or leased to commercial or industrial companies whose activities may have resulted in discharges onto the property. As a result, GATX is subject to environmental cleanup and enforcement actions. In particular, the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as the Superfund law, as well as similar state laws, generally impose joint and several liability for cleanup and enforcement costs on current and former owners and operators of a site without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct. If there are other potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”), GATX generally participates in the cleanup of these sites through cost-sharing agreements with terms that vary from site to site. Costs are typically allocated based on the relative volumetric contribution of material, the amount of time the site was owned or operated, and/or the portion of the total site owned or operated by each PRP. GATX has been notified that it is a PRP, among many PRPs, for study and cleanup costs at three Superfund sites for which investigation and remediation payments have yet to be determined.
 
At the time a potential environmental issue is identified, initial reserves for environmental liability are established when such liability is probable and a reasonable estimate of associated costs can be made. Costs are estimated based on the type and level of investigation and/or remediation activities that our internal environmental staff (and where appropriate, independent consultants) have determined to be necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Activities include initial site surveys and environmental studies of potentially contaminated sites as well as costs for remediation and restoration of sites determined to be contaminated. In addition, GATX has provided indemnities for potential environmental liabilities to buyers of divested companies. In these instances, reserves are based on the scope and duration of the respective indemnities together with the extent of known contamination. Estimates are periodically reviewed and adjusted as required to reflect additional information about facility or site characteristics or changes in regulatory requirements. GATX conducts an ongoing environmental contingency analysis, which considers a combination of factors including independent consulting reports, site visits, legal reviews, analysis of the likelihood of participation in and the ability of other PRPs to pay for cleanup, and historical trend analyses. GATX does not believe that a liability exists for known environmental risks beyond what has been provided for in its environmental reserves.
 
GATX is involved in administrative and judicial proceedings and other voluntary and mandatory cleanup efforts at 14 sites, including the Superfund sites, at which it is participating in the study or cleanup, or both, of alleged environmental contamination. As of December 31, 2007, GATX has recorded accruals of $34.7 million for remediation and restoration of all known sites. These amounts are included in other liabilities on GATX’s balance sheet. GATX’s environmental liabilities are not discounted.
 
The Company did not materially change its methodology for identifying and calculating environmental liabilities in the three years presented. There are currently no known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to occur and materially affect the methodology or assumptions described above.

Recorded liabilities include GATX’s best estimates of all costs for remediation and restoration of affected sites, without reduction for anticipated recoveries from third parties, and include both asserted and unasserted claims However, GATX’s total cleanup costs at these sites cannot be predicted with certainty due to various factors such as the extent of corrective actions that may be required; evolving environmental laws and regulations; advances in environmental technology, the extent of other parties’ participation in cleanup efforts; developments in ongoing environmental analyses related to sites determined to be contaminated, and developments in environmental surveys and studies of potentially contaminated sites. As a result, future charges for environmental liabilities could have a significant effect on results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year as individual site studies and remediation and restoration efforts proceed or as new sites arise. However, management believes it is unlikely any identified matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on GATX’s financial position or liquidity.
 
NOTE 19.   Shareholders’ Equity
 
On January 17, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $300 million common stock repurchase program, which was completed as of August 31, 2007, with an aggregate of 6.3 million shares having been repurchased. The repurchased shares were recorded as treasury stock under the cost method. On January 23, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $200 million share repurchase program expected to be completed in 2008.
 
Upon maturity in February 2007, substantially all the holders of the 2002 Notes converted, resulting in a cash payment of $124.3 million for the principal balance and the issuance of 1.0 million shares of GATX common stock for the conversion premium. Also, in 2007, $18.2 million of the 2003 Notes converted, resulting in a cash payment of $18.2 million for the principal balance and 0.4 million shares issued for the conversion premium. See Note 13 for additional information.
 
In accordance with GATX’s amended certificate of incorporation, 120 million shares of common stock are authorized, at a par value of $0.625 per share. As of December 31, 2007, 62.2 million shares were issued and 47.9 million shares were outstanding.
 
A total of 14.1 million shares of common stock were reserved at December 31, 2007, for the following:
 
         
    Shares
 
    (In millions)  
 
Conversion of outstanding preferred stock
    0.1  
Conversion of convertible notes
    9.9  
Incentive compensation programs
    4.1  
Employee service awards
     
         
      14.1  
         
 
The reserve for incentive compensation programs consists of shares authorized and available for future issuance under the GATX Corporation 2004 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan and other share-based compensation awards granted but not yet issued. See Note 21 for additional information.
 
GATX’s certificate of incorporation also authorizes five million shares of preferred stock at a par value of $1.00 per share. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, 18,216 and 19,008 shares of preferred stock were outstanding, respectively. Shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding consist of Series A and B $2.50 cumulative convertible preferred stock, which entitle holders to a cumulative annual cash dividend of $2.50 per share. Each share is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into five shares of common stock. Each share of such preferred stock may be called for redemption by GATX at any time at $63.00 per share. In the event of GATX’s

liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of such preferred stock will be entitled to receive $60.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of payment. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the aggregated liquidation preference of both series’ of preferred stock was $1.1 million.
 
Holders of both preferred and common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held. Except in certain instances, all such classes of stock vote together as a single class.
 
To ensure the fair value to all shareholders in the event of an unsolicited takeover offer for the Company, GATX adopted a Shareholders’ Rights Plan in August 1998. Shareholders received a distribution of one right for each share of the Company’s common stock held. Initially the rights are represented by GATX’s common stock certificates and are not exercisable. The rights will be exercisable only if a person acquires or announces a tender offer that would result in beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of the Company’s common stock. If a person acquires beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of the Company’s common stock, all holders of rights other than the acquiring person will be entitled to purchase the Company’s common stock at a reduced price. The rights are scheduled to expire on August 14, 2008.

NOTE 21.   Share-Based Compensation
 
GATX provides equity awards to its employees under the GATX Corporation 2004 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “2004 Plan”). An aggregate of 3.5 million shares of common stock is authorized under the 2004 Plan and as of December 31, 2007, 2.2 million shares were available for future issuance. The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock and phantom stock awards. These awards are more fully described below.

Stock Option/SAR Awards
 
Stock options/SARs provide for the purchase of common stock and may be granted for periods not longer than seven years from the date of grant (ten years for options granted prior to 2004). SARs entitle the holder to receive the difference between the market price of GATX’s stock at the time of exercise and the exercise price, either in shares of common stock, cash or a combination thereof, at GATX’s discretion. Options entitle the holders to purchase shares of GATX stock at a specified exercise price. The exercise price for both options and SARs is equal to the average of the high and low trading prices of GATX stock on the date of grant. Options/SARs vest and become exercisable commencing on a date no earlier than one year from the date of grant. Compensation expense for these awards is recognized on a graded straight line basis over the applicable vesting period. The vesting period for 2006 grants and prior is three years with 50% vesting after the first year, 25% after the second year and 25% after the third year. The 2007 grants vest ratably over three years. Dividends accrue on all stock options/SARs granted under the 2004 Plan and are paid upon vesting. Dividends continue to be paid until the options/SARs are exercised, cancelled or expired. During 2006 and 2007, only SARs were awarded.
 
GATX values its stock option/SAR awards using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model is one of the most frequently referenced models used to value options and was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The assumptions GATX used in valuing its option/SAR awards were: expected stock price volatility (based on the historical volatility of its stock price), the risk free interest rate (based on the treasury yield curve) and the expected life of the option/SAR (based on historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior). Additionally, because GATX’s options/SARs are dividend participating, the value of each option/SAR also reflects the present value of the expected dividends to be paid during the estimated life of the option/SAR.
 
The assumptions GATX used to estimate the fair value of its stock option/SAR awards and the weighted average estimated fair value are noted in the table below:
 
                         
    2007     2006     2005

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, was $12.1 million, $13.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of a stock option is defined as the difference between its current market value and its exercise price. As of December 31, 2007, there was $3.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested options/SARs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.
 
Restricted Stock and Performance Share Awards
 
Restricted stock may be granted to key employees, entitling them to receive a specified number of restricted shares of common stock. Restricted shares of common stock carry all dividend and voting rights, but are not transferable prior to the expiration of a specified restriction period, generally three years, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”). Dividends accrue on all restricted shares and are paid upon vesting. Compensation expense is recognized for these awards over the applicable restriction period.
 
Performance shares may be granted to key employees to focus attention on the achievement of certain strategic objectives. The shares are converted to restricted common stock based on the achievement of predetermined performance goals at the end of a specified performance period as determined by the Compensation Committee. Full vesting of the restricted stock may then be subject to an additional service period, ending no later than the third anniversary of the grant, absent the occurrence of certain events such as retirement, death or disability. Performance shares do not carry voting rights. Dividends accrue on all performance shares and are paid upon vesting. Performance shares are valued based on the closing price for GATX’s stock on the grant date. An estimate of the number of shares expected to vest as a result of actual performance against the performance criteria is made at the time of grant to determine total compensation expense to be recognized. The estimate is re-evaluated annually and total compensation expense is adjusted for any changes in the estimate, with a cumulative catch up adjustment (i.e., the cumulative effect of applying the change in estimate retrospectively) recognized in the period of change. Compensation expense is recognized for these awards over the applicable vesting period, generally three years.
 
GATX values its restricted stock and performance share awards based on the closing price of its stock on the grant date. As of December 31, 2007, there was $5.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

The total fair value of restricted and performance shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, was $3.2 million, $3.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
 
Phantom Stock Awards
 
Phantom stock is granted to non-employee directors as a portion of their compensation for service on GATX’s Board. In accordance with the terms of the phantom stock awards, each director is credited with a quantity of units that equate to, but are not, common shares in the Company. Phantom stock awards are dividend participating with all dividends reinvested in additional phantom shares at the average of the high and low trading prices of GATX stock on the dividend payment date. Settlement of whole units of phantom stock will be made in shares of common stock and fractional units will be paid in cash at the expiration of each director’s service on the Board and/or in accordance with his or her deferral election. In 2007, GATX granted 17,946 units of phantom stock and 115,358 units were outstanding as of December 31, 2007.
 
NOTE 22.   Discontinued Operations
 
In 2006, GATX agreed to sell the majority of its aircraft leasing business to Macquarie Aircraft Leasing Limited (“MALL”). The sale was completed in two stages: the sale of wholly owned aircraft closed on November 30, 2006, and the sale of partnered aircraft closed on January 17, 2007. Separately in 2006, GATX sold 26 wholly owned and partnered aircraft and its interest in Pembroke Group, a 50% owned aircraft leasing affiliate. These events resulted in the disposition of GATX’s aircraft leasing operation (formerly the “Air” segment). Accordingly, Air has been segregated and classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
 
GATX had been in the commercial aircraft leasing business since 1968, building a valuable operating lease platform and portfolio of aircraft. GATX believes that, relative to competitors in the industry, its lower scale and higher cost of capital resulted in a competitive disadvantage and that the sale of the Air business will enable it to realize greater value for its shareholders than could have been realized from continuing to own and operate the business. Gross proceeds from these sales in 2006 totaled $1.3 billion, of which approximately $800 million was

used to retire debt and pay transaction costs. The remaining proceeds, including $229.9 million received in 2007, were primarily used to fund new investments in rail, marine and industrial assets and to repurchase GATX common stock under a $300 million stock repurchase program initiated in 2007.

In 2007, income on disposal of segment primarily consisted of a $20.9 million reversal of accrued income taxes resulting from an enacted change in federal income tax regulations and the finalization of the tax effects of the Air sale. In 2006, loss on disposal of segment was comprised primarily of $60.3 million ($70.9 million including tax effects) of losses realized on dispositions and in 2005, was comprised primarily of impairment charges of $196.4 million ($119.4 million after tax).
 
Results of discontinued operations reflect directly attributable revenues, ownership, operating, interest and SG&A expenses and income taxes. Results also reflect intercompany allocations for interest and certain SG&A expenses. Interest expense allocated was zero, $16.4 million and $26.7 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest was allocated consistent with GATX’s risk adjusted approach for continuing operations. SG&A allocated was zero, $6.1 million and $6.9 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. SG&A was allocated based on management’s best estimate and judgment of the direct cost of support services provided to discontinued operations and amounts allocated approximate the amounts expected to be eliminated from continuing operations.
 
The following tables summarize the components of discontinued operations reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows (in millions):

Net cash provided by discontinued operations of $181.8 million in 2007 consisted primarily of $227.1 million of proceeds received from the disposition of the Air segment, partially offset by $33.8 million of allocated federal income tax payments, with the balance relating to the payment of accrued sale liabilities and current year operating losses.

NOTE 23.   Earnings per Share
 
Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year. Shares issued or reacquired during the year, if applicable, were weighted for the portion of the year that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share give effect to potentially dilutive securities, including, convertible preferred stock, stock options, SARs, restricted stock and convertible debt.
 
At December 31, 2007, GATX had $106.8 million of senior unsecured notes, which were contingently convertible into 4,304,004 common shares at a price of $24.81 per share. The conversion details are discussed in Note 13.
 
At December 31, 2006, GATX had $124.3 million of senior unsecured notes that were convertible into 3,647,375 common shares at a price of $34.09 per share. These notes matured in February 2007, resulting in a cash payment equal to the principal balance and the issuance of 1.0 million shares for the difference between GATX’s stock price at the time of conversion and the conversion price.
 
On January 17, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $300 million common stock repurchase program. As of August 31, 2007, the repurchase program was completed with an aggregate of 6.3 million shares having been repurchased. The repurchased shares were recorded as treasury stock under the cost method. On January 23, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $200 million share repurchase program expected to be completed in 2008.

NOTE 24.   Foreign Operations
 
GATX has a number of investments in subsidiaries and affiliated companies that are located in, or derive revenues from, various foreign countries. GATX’s foreign identifiable assets include investments in affiliated companies as well as railcar operations in Canada, Mexico, Poland, Austria and Germany, and foreign leases, loans and other investments. Foreign entities contribute significantly to GATX’s share of affiliates’ earnings. Revenues and identifiable assets are determined to be foreign or U.S. based upon location of the customer; classification of affiliates’ earnings as foreign or domestic is made based on the office location of the affiliate.

The Company did not derive revenues in excess of 10% of consolidated revenues from continuing operations from any one foreign country for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. At December 31, 2007, 11.0% of the Company’s identifiable assets were in Germany. At December 31, 2006, no foreign country represented more than 10% of GATX’s identifiable assets from continuing operations. At December 31, 2005, 12.2% of the Company’s identifiable assets were in Canada and 10.4% were in Germany.

Foreign generated cash flows are used to meet local operating needs and for reinvestment. For non-U.S. dollar functional currency entities, the translation of the financial statements into U.S. dollars results in an unrealized foreign currency translation adjustment, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
NOTE 25.   Financial Data of Business Segments
 
The financial data presented below conforms to SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, and depicts the profitability, financial position and capital expenditures of each of GATX’s continuing business segments.
 
GATX leases, operates and manages long-lived, widely used assets in the rail, marine and industrial equipment markets. GATX also invests in joint ventures that complement existing business activities. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, GATX has three financial reporting segments: Rail, Specialty and ASC.
 
Rail is principally engaged in leasing tank and freight railcars and locomotives in North America and Europe. Rail primarily provides railcars pursuant to full-service leases, under which it maintains the railcars, pays ad valorem taxes and insurance, and provides other ancillary services. Rail also offers net leases for railcars and most of its locomotives, in which case the lessee is responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes.
 
Specialty is primarily focused on providing leasing and related remarketing and asset management services in the marine and industrial equipment markets. The Specialty portfolio consists primarily of operating and direct finance lease assets; joint venture investments; loans; and interests in residual values involving a variety of underlying asset types, including marine, rail, industrial and other equipment.

ASC operates a fleet of self-unloading marine vessels on the Great Lakes and is exclusively engaged in the waterborne transportation of dry bulk commodities.
 
Segment profit is an internal performance measure used by the Chief Executive Officer to assess the performance of each segment in a given period. Segment profit includes all revenues, including affiliate earnings, attributable to the segments, as well as ownership and operating costs that management believes are directly associated with the maintenance or operation of the revenue earning assets. Operating costs include maintenance costs, marine operating costs, asset impairment charges and other operating costs such as litigation, provisions for losses, environmental costs, and asset storage costs. Segment profit excludes selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes and certain other amounts not allocated to the segments. These amounts are included in Other.
 
GATX allocates debt balances and related interest expense to each segment based upon a pre-determined fixed recourse leverage level expressed as a ratio of recourse debt (including off balance sheet debt) to equity. The leverage levels for Rail, Specialty and ASC are set at 4:1, 3:1 and 1.5:1, respectively. Management believes that by utilizing this leverage and interest expense allocation methodology, each operating segment’s financial performance reflects an appropriate risk-adjusted cost of capital and is presented on a comparable basis.

Management’s Report Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Management’s Report Regarding the Effectiveness of Internal Control and Procedures
 
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act for the Company. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
  (i)  pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
  (ii)  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
 
  (iii)  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate as a result of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the applicable policies and procedures may deteriorate.
 
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this annual report based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Such evaluation included reviewing the documentation of the Company’s internal controls, evaluating the design effectiveness of the internal controls and testing their operating effectiveness.
 
Based on such evaluation, the Company’s management has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements included in this annual report has issued a report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. That report appears below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of GATX Corporation
 
We have audited GATX Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). GATX Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report Regarding the Effectiveness of Internal Control and Procedures. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, GATX Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2007 consolidated financial statements of GATX Corporation and our report dated February 29, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine; and the Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section.

If such a record 9 date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. Section 1.5 Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, (a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration Division, or (b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to the attention of its Treasurer at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

In any case where notice to Holders of Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities. In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 10 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. Section 1.7 Language of Notices, Etc. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that, if the Company so elects, any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder and the Holders of Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. Section 1.13 Governing Law. This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 11 Section 1.14 Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities other than a provision in the Securities which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or any Additional Amounts or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication, together with the Board Resolution and Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture with respect to such Securities referred to in Section 3.1 and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof shall authenticate and deliver such 15 Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, (a) that the form and terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provision of this Indenture; (b) that all conditions precedent set forth in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been complied with and that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and to general equity principles; and (c) as to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; provided, however, that if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of each Security, but such Opinion of Counsel, with appropriate modifications, may instead be delivered at or prior to the time of the first issuance of Securities of such series. The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken. If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.1 that Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in global form, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Securities in global from that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an authorized aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and tenor to be represented by one or more Securities in global form, (ii) shall be registered, in the name of the Depositary for such Security or Securities in global form or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Notes in certificated form, this Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository Trust Company (55 Water Street, New York, New York) to 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 such other name as requested by an authorized representative of the Depository Trust Company and any payment is made to CEDE & CO., any transfer, pledge or 16 other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful since the registered owner hereof, CEDE & CO., has an interest herein." Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 3.1 for a Security in global form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other applicable statute or regulation. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Section 2.2 or 6.14 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Section 3.4 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 3.3, temporary Securities of such series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form without coupons and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form, representing all of the Outstanding Securities of such series and tenor. Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable upon request for definitive Securities of such series containing identical terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at an office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 10.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series containing identical terms and provisions. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to a temporary Security in global form, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. Section 3.5 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. With respect to the Securities of each series, if any, the Company shall cause to be kept, at an office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 10.2, a register 17 (herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Securities of each series and of transfers of the Securities of each series. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers and exchanges of Securities as herein provided; provided that the Company may, from time to time, designate (or change any designation of) any other Person or Persons to act as Security Registrar or co-Security Registrars with respect to the Securities of one or more series, with notice to the Trustee and as provided in Section 1.6 to the Holders. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Company. In the event that the Trustee shall not be the Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that series pursuant to Section 10.2, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of an authorized denomination, of a like aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Securities represented thereby, in definitive form, a Security in global form representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series containing identical terms and provisions, in any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency of the Company maintained for that series pursuant to Section 10.2. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 3.3, the Company, by Company Order, shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company's election pursuant to Section 3.1(c) shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount and of like terms and tenor equal to the principal amount of the Security or Securities in global form representing such series in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form. 18 The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that individual Securities of any series issued in global form shall no longer be represented by such Security or Securities in global form. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual definitive Securities of such series and of the same terms and tenor, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of such series in definitive form in authorized denominations and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Security or Securities in global form representing such series in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form. If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Security in global form for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for individual Securities of such series in definitive form and of like terms and tenor on such terms as are acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual definitive Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge: (a) to the Depositary or to each Person specified by such Depositary a new individual Security or Securities of the same series and of the same tenor, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Security in global form; and (b) to such Depositary a new Security in global form in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Security in global form and the aggregate principal amount of the individual Securities delivered to Holders thereof. In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee pursuant to a Company Order will authenticate and deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of a Security in global form for Securities in definitive form, at the direction of the Company, such Security in global form shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Security in global form pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Security in global form, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the persons in whose names such Securities are so registered or to the Depositary. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 19 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar for such series of Security presented) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and such Security Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.6 or 11.7 not involving any transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the selection for redemption of Securities of that series under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of such selection, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed. Section 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time 20 enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. Section 3.7 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, if so provided in such Security, be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Security (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities affected (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of such Securities at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in a newspaper, customarily published in the English language on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b). 21 (b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Interest on Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.5, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. Section 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.7) interest on and Additional Amounts with respect to, such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or any co-Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests and each of them may act or refrain from acting without liability on any information relating to such records provided by the Depositary. Section 3.9 Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee at the direction of the Company. No securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by it unless by a Company Order the Company directs their return to it. 22 Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. ARTICLE 4 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE Section 4.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for, rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee set forth in the last paragraph of this Section and any right to receive Additional Amounts, as provided in Section 10.4), and the Trustee, pursuant to a Company Order and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instructions acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when (a) either (i) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6, and (B) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable, or (2) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or (3) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company, in the case of (1), (2) or (3) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge, or U.S. Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and paying interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability of cash sufficient to pay and discharge, the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and any Additional Amounts with 23 respect thereto, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. In the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so by Company Order with respect to Securities of all series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met. In the event there are two or more Trustees hereunder, then the effectiveness of any such instrument shall be conditioned upon receipt of such instruments from all Trustees hereunder. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.7 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and the last paragraph of Section 10.3 shall survive. Section 4.2 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and any interest and Additional Amounts for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. ARTICLE 5 REMEDIES Section 5.1 Events of Default. "Event of Default," wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): (a) default in the payment of any interest on or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any of the Securities of such series as and when such interest or Additional Amounts becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 24 (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of such series as and when the same becomes due and payable at Maturity, or default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of any of the Securities of such series; or (c) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Company in the Securities of such series or this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities to which covenant or agreement relates a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or (d) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or (e) the Company shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due, or shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing; or (f) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above (if the Event of Default under clause (c) above is with respect to less than all series of Securities then outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every case, unless the principal of all of the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series (each such series voting as a separate class in the case of an Event of Default under clause (a) or (b) and all such series voting as one class in the case of an Event of Default under clause (c)), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders), may declare the entire principal of all Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be 25 provided for in the Securities of that series, and the interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (c) above with respect to all series of Outstanding Securities, or any Event of Default described in clause (d) or (e) above occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the Outstanding Securities (treated as one class), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders), may declare the entire principal of all the Outstanding Securities, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities, and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, each series voting as a separate class (or of all Securities, as the case may be, voting as a single class), by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to such series (or with respect to all Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: (i) all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of all Securities of that series (or upon all the Securities, as the case may be), (ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series (or upon all the Securities, as the case may be) which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and (b) all Events of Default with respect to Securities, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 26 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if (a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security when such interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at its Maturity, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest or any Additional Amounts, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. Section 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue 27 principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of that series, of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and any Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents or counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such proceeding. Section 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery or judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. Section 5.6 Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (and premium, if any), interest or any Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7; and 28 Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and Third: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. Section 5.7 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of any other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. Section 5.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.7) interest on and any Additional Amounts in respect of such Security on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 29 Section 5.9 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in Section 5.7 and except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities. Section 5.12 Control by Holders of Securities. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and (c) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Securities of such series. 30 Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Securities of any series as provided in Section 5.2, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series (each series voting as a separate class) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default described in clause (c) of Section 5.1 which relates to less than all of the series of Outstanding Securities, or the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities (voting as one class) may on behalf of all Holders waive any past default or Event of Default described in said clause (c) (which relates to all series of Outstanding Securities) or in clause (d) or (e) of Section 5.1, except a default (a) in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of such series, or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Section 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit, other than the Trustee, of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, including the Trustee, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, the Trustee or by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts in respect of any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) or interest on any overdue principal of any Security. 31 ARTICLE 6 THE TRUSTEE Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default known to the Trustee, (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties, and only such duties, as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that (i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section; (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have 32 reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company may serve as Trustee. Section 6.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

Such courts may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such Securities. (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.

Section 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, 37 and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder, and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture other than as hereinafter expressly set forth, and each such successor Trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 38 Section 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, including the administration of this Indenture, by sale or otherwise, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. Section 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. (a) Subject to Subsection (b) of this Section, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company within four months prior to a default, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit of the Trustee individually, the Holders of the Securities and the holders of other indenture securities (as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section): (i) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or interest, effected after the beginning of such four month period and valid as against the Company and its other creditors, except any such reduction resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property described in paragraph (ii) of this Subsection, or from the exercise of any right of set-off which the Trustee could have exercised if a petition in bankruptcy had been filed by or against the Company upon the date of such default; and (ii) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claim as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of such four-month period, or an amount equal to the proceeds of any such property, if disposed of, subject, however, to the rights, if any, of the Company and its other creditors in such property or such proceeds. Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee: (i) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of any such claim by any Person (other than the Company) who is liable thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by the Trustee to a third person, and (iii) distributions made in cash, securities or other property in respect of claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Act (as used in Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act) or applicable state law; 39 (ii) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such property was so held prior to the beginning of such four-month period; (iii) to realize, for its own account, but only to the extent of the claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such claim was created after the beginning of such four month period and such property was received as security therefor simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain the burden of proving that at the time such property was so received the Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a default, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section, would occur within four months; or (iv) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (ii) or (iii), against the release of any property held as security for such claim as provided in paragraph (ii) or (iii), as the case may be, to the extent of the fair value of such property. For the purposes of paragraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv) immediately above, property substituted after the beginning of such four-month period for property held as security at the time of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value of the property released, have the same status as the property released, and, to the extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such pre-existing claim. If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned between the Trustee, the Holders of Securities and the holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, the Holders of Securities and the holders of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt by it from the Company of the funds and property in such special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their respective claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from funds and property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall include any distribution with respect to such claim, in bankruptcy or receivership or proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities or other property, but shall not include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or proceedings for reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion between the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and the holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such special account and proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such apportionment, in whole or in 40 part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and the holders of other indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to make a specific account or as security for any such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula. Any Trustee which has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such four-month period shall be subject to the provisions of this Subsection as though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such four-month period, it shall be subject to the provisions of this Subsection if and only if the following conditions exist: (1) the receipt of property or reduction of claim, which would have given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had continued as Trustee, occurred after the beginning of such four month period; and (2) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred within four months after such resignation or removal. (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of Subsection (a) of this Section a creditor relationship arising from: (i) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee; (ii) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction, or by this Indenture, for the purpose of preserving any property which shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon, if notice of such advances and of the circumstances surrounding the making thereof is given to the Holders of Securities at the time and in the manner provided in this Indenture; (iii) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar capacity; (iv) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or premises rented; or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or securities sold in a cash transaction, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section; (v) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a corporation organized under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act (as used in Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act), as amended, which is directly or indirectly a creditor of the Company; or 41 (vi) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or obligations which fall within the classification of self-liquidating paper as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section. (c) For the purpose of this Section only: (i) the term "default" means any failure to make payment in full of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities or upon the other indenture securities when and as such principal or interest becomes due and payable; (ii) the term "other indenture securities" means securities upon which the Company is an obligor outstanding under any other indenture (i) under which indenture and as to which securities the Trustee is also trustee, (ii) which contains provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section, and (iii) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds and property held in such special account; (iii) the term "cash transaction" means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; (iv) the term "self-liquidating paper" means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacture, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation; (v) the term "Company" means any obligor upon the Securities; and (vi) the term "Federal Bankruptcy Code" means the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, or Title 11 of the United States Code. Section 6.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue or exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf 42 of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, by sale or otherwise, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. The Trustee agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 6.7. The provisions of Sections 3.8, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent. If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form: 43 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within mentioned Indenture. U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Trustee By ------------------------------------- As Authenticating Agent By ------------------------------------- Authorized Signatory If all of the Securities of any series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 1.2) by the Company, shall appoint in accordance with this Section 6.14 an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities. ARTICLE 7 HOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY Section 7.1 Company To Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee: (a) semi-annually, not later than June 15 and December 15 each year, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of such series as of the June 1 and December 1 preceding such June 15 or December 15; (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that, in each case, so long as the Trustee is the Security Registrar, no such list shall be required to be furnished. Section 7.2 Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders of Securities (i) contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee for each series as provided in Section 7.1, and (ii) received by the Trustee for each series in the capacity of Security Registrar if the Trustee is then acting in such 44 capacity. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 7.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. (b) If three or more Holders of Securities of any series (hereinafter referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security of such series for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Securities of such series or with the Holders of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five business days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either (i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.2(a), or (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Securities whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.2(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application. If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of Securities whose name and address appears in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.2(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Securities or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Holders of Securities with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Security Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 7.2(b), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the 45 Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 7.2(b).

ARTICLE 8 CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, LEASE OR CONVEYANCE Section 8.1 Consolidations and Mergers of Company and Sales, Leases and Conveyances Permitted Subject to Certain Conditions. The Company covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any other corporation or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless (i) either the Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor corporation or the Person which acquires by sale or conveyance substantially all the assets of the Company (if other than the Company) shall be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof and shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company, by supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation, and (ii) the Company or such successor corporation, as the case may be, shall not, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale or conveyance, be in default in the performance of any such covenant or condition. Section 8.2 Rights and Duties of Successor Corporation. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance and upon any such assumption by the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of any further obligation under this Indenture and the Securities. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and 48 benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. Section 8.3 Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.3, may receive an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and any such assumption and any such supplemental indenture, if any, complies with the provisions of this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided relating to such transactions have been complied with. ARTICLE 9 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE Section 9.1 Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Holders. Without the consent of any Holders of Securities, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes: (a) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company, and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Securities contained; or (b) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; or (c) to change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal (or premium, if any) on Securities or to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in uncertificated form, provided any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series in any material respect; or (d) to change or eliminate any provision of this Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination (i) shall become effective only when there is no Security Outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision or (ii) shall not apply to any Security Outstanding; or (e) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1; or 49 (f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.11(b); or (g) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture which shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders of Securities of any series in any material respect; or (h) to add to, delete from or revise the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms or purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of Securities, as herein set forth; or (i) to add any additional Events of Default (and if such Events of Default are to be applicable to less than all series of Securities stating that such Events of Default are expressly being included solely to be applicable to such series); or (j) to add to or change or eliminate any provision of this Indenture as shall be necessary or desirable in accordance with any amendments to the Trust Indenture Act, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders of the Securities of any series in any material respect; or (k) to secure the Securities pursuant to Section 10.6. Section 9.2 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture, or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental Indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof, or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 10.4 (except as contemplated by Section 8.1 and permitted by Section 9.1(a)), or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.2, or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or 50 (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or (c) modify any of the provisions of this Section, or Section 5.13, or Section 10.7, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, or (d) adversely affect the right to repayment, if any, of Securities of any series at the option of the Holders thereof. A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders of Securities under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. Section 9.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trust created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Section 9.4 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. Section 9.5 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 51 Section 9.6 Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. ARTICLE 10 COVENANTS Section 10.1 Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any), interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such series of Securities and this Indenture. Section 10.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as the Place of Payment for each series of Securities the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoints U.S. Bank Trust National Association, an Affiliate of the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office as the Company's office or agency for each of such purposes in such city. 52 Section 10.3 Money for Securities Payments To Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on, any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on, any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; (b) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series; and (c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. Except as otherwise provided in the form of Securities of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only 53 to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment or to be mailed to Holders of Securities, or both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. In the absence of a written request from the Company to return unclaimed funds to the Company, the Trustee shall from time to time deliver all unclaimed funds to or as directed by applicable escheat authorities, as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of the Trustee. Any unclaimed funds held by the Trustee pursuant to this section shall be held uninvested and without any liability for interest. Section 10.4 Additional Amounts. If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of any series Additional Amounts as provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in the terms of such Security and this Section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal (and premium, if any) is made, and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate), the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series who are United States Aliens without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Security and the first paragraph of this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section. 54 Section 10.5 Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Certain Defaults. (a) The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (which on the date hereof ends on December 31), a written statement, which need not comply with Section 1.2, signed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under his supervision, and (ii) to the best of his knowledge, based on such review, (a) the Company has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to him and the nature and status thereof, and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, or, if such event has occurred and is continuing, specifying each such event known to him and the nature and status thereof. (b) The Company will deliver to the Trustee within five days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default pursuant to clause (d) of Section 5.1. Section 10.6 Limitation on Liens Except as provided below the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, at any time pledge or otherwise subject to any lien any of its or such Restricted Subsidiary's property, tangible or intangible, real or personal (hereinafter "property"), without thereby expressly securing the Securities (together, if the Company so chooses, with any other securities entitled to the benefit of a similar covenant) equally and ratably with any and all other obligations and indebtedness secured by such pledge or other lien, so long as any such other obligations and indebtedness shall be so secured, and the Company covenants that if and when any such pledge or other lien is created, the Securities will be so secured thereby;

provided, that, such judgment, decree or other proceedings are being contested in good faith; and provided, further, that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall have set aside on its books reserves which its independent certified accountants shall have deemed to be adequate with respect thereto (segregated to the extent required by generally accepted accounting principles);

Section 10.7 Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 10.6 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of 57 the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

Such notice shall notify the Trustee and the Company of such Redemption Date, the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and any relevant terms of the Securities of such series to be redeemed. Section 11.3 Selection by Trustee of Securities To Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of any series having the same terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or any integral multiple thereof which is also an authorized denomination) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities 58 redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. Section 11.4 Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.6, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed (which shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee), to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Securities designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof. Any notice that is mailed to the Holder of any Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder receives the notice. All notices of redemption shall state: (a) the Redemption Date, (b) the Redemption Price (or the method of calculating the Redemption Price) and accrued interest, if any, (c) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular Securities to be redeemed, (d) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, (e) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed, and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date, (f) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and (g) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. A notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 1.6 need not identify particular Securities to be redeemed. Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 59 Section 11.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. Section 11.6 Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given by the Holder to the Company and Trustee pursuant to Section 11.2 or to the Holder by the Company or the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.4, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (and any Additional Amounts) to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. Section 11.7 Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series, containing identical terms and provisions, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. ARTICLE 12 SINKING FUNDS Section 12.1 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 60 for Securities of such series or as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment," and any payment in excess of such series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment." If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. Section 12.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of a series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities previously called for redemption) theretofore purchased or receive credit for Securities (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 3.9, and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If, as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities of any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 12.2, the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such series for redemption, except upon Company Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request of the Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to be released to the Company. Section 12.3 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not theretofore delivered. If such Officers' Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the 61 Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.6 and 11.7. * * * * * 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. 62 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of the day and year first above written.

By substituting the following for Paragraph 13 of each Participation Agreement: "13. Effect of Transaction. This Participation Agreement shall be binding on the Employee and the Employee's heirs and legal representatives and on the Employer and its successors and assigns.

Payments under this Participation Agreement shall be made on or as soon as practicable after the date specified for payment under this Participation Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph 22 are intended to conform the payments under this Participation Agreement to the requirements of Section 409A, and shall not be construed to permit delay by the Employer of payment of amounts due earlier in accordance with this Participation Agreement. 23. Termination Date. References in this Participation Agreement to the Employee's termination of employment (including references to an Employee's employment termination, the Employee's Termination Date, and to the Employee terminating employment) shall mean the Employee ceasing to be employed by the Company and the Affiliates, subject to the following: (i) The employment relationship will be deemed to have ended at the time the Employee and his employer reasonably anticipate that a level of bona fide services the Employee would perform for the Company and the Affiliates after such date (whether as an Employee or independent contractor, but not as a director) would permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36 month period (or the full period of service to the Company and the Affiliates if the Employee has performed services for the Company and the Affiliates for less than 36 months). In the absence of an expectation that the Employee will perform at the above-described level, the date of termination of employment will not be delayed solely by reason of the Employee continuing to be on the Company's and the Affiliates' payroll after such date. (ii) The employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact while the Employee is on a bona fide leave of absence (determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 409A-1(h)). 3 (iii) If a Transaction occurs while the Employee is employed by GATX, the determination of whether a Termination Date has occurred will be made in accordance with paragraph 13.

Delayed Distribution for Specified Employees.

At the end of the six-month period described in the preceding sentence, amounts that could not be paid by reason of the limitation in this paragraph (i) shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Termination Date. For purposes of the Plan, the term "Specified Employee" shall be defined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i) and such rules as may be established by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or his delegate from time to time. 25. Distribution Election. Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph 25, the Employee may elect that if he or she otherwise becomes eligible to receive a lump sum payment upon termination of employment pursuant paragraph 7, paragraph 13, or paragraph 14(b), no such lump sum payment shall be made, and instead this Participation Agreement shall remain in effect and, unless the Employee dies prior to reaching age 65 (in which case the Employee shall be deemed to have died while employed by GATX), the Employee (and his beneficiaries) shall be entitled to the benefits hereunder in the same manner as if the Employee had remained in the continuous employ of the Employer (or successor) until the Employee retired on the Employee's Earliest Retirement Date. An election described in this paragraph 25 that is filed after December 31, 2007 shall be disregarded and without effect. 10.

Operation, Administration, and Definitions. The operation and administration of the Plan, including the Cash Incentive Awards made under the Plan, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4 (relating to operation and administration). Capitalized terms in the Plan shall be defined as set forth in the Plan (including the definition provisions of Section 8). SECTION 2 CASH INCENTIVE AWARD 2.1. Designation. The Committee, from time to time in its discretion, shall designate from among the Eligible Employees those individuals who will have an opportunity to receive Cash Incentive Awards under the Plan for any Performance Period, together with the amounts to be distributed in accordance with Section 3. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, Cash Incentive Awards are intended to be Performance-Based Compensation. Any Cash Incentive Awards intended to be Performance-Based Compensation shall comply with the requirements of this Section 2 to the extent such compliance is determined by the Committee to be required for the Cash Incentive Awards to be treated as Performance-Based Compensation. To the extent that the provisions of this Section 2 reflect the requirements applicable to Performance-Based Compensation, such provisions shall not apply to the portion of any Cash Incentive Award that is not intended to be Performance-Based Compensation. 2.2. Determination of Cash Incentive Awards. Each Cash Incentive Award that is intended to be Performance-Based Compensation shall be determined in accordance with the following: 1 (a) The Cash Incentive Award for each Participant for any Performance Period shall equal 0.75% of the Company's Total Gross Income Less Total Ownership Costs (as defined in Section 8) for the Performance Period. (b) At any time prior to the payment of a Cash Incentive Award, the Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of such award based on such factors as the Committee determines appropriate. (c) No payment shall be made of any Cash Incentive Award that is intended to be Performance-Based Compensation until achievement of the applicable performance objectives set forth in paragraph (a) above has been certified by the Committee. Any Cash Incentive Awards that are not intended to be Performance-Based Compensation may be conditioned on any performance goals, factors, or criteria as the Committee shall determine. SECTION 3 DISTRIBUTIONS Subject to subsection 2.2, a Participant's Cash Incentive Award for a performance period ending in a calendar year shall be distributed to the Participant in the following calendar year but not later than March 15 of the following calendar year; provided, however, that for purposes of determining compliance with Code section 409A, a payment will be considered to satisfy the requirements of this Section3 if it is made no later than the end of the calendar year following the end of the applicable performance period." SECTION 4 OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION 4.1. Effective Date. Subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company at the Company's 2004 annual meeting of its stockholders, the Plan shall be effective as of January 1, 2004 (the "Effective Date"); provided, however, that to the extent that Cash Incentive Awards are granted under the Plan prior to its approval by stockholders, the Cash Incentive Awards shall be contingent on approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company at such annual meeting. 4.2. Tax Withholding. All distributions under the Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, and the Committee may condition the delivery of any benefits under the Plan on satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations. 4.3. Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, Cash Incentive Awards under the Plan are not transferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 4.4. Heirs and Successors. The Plan shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company's assets and business. If any benefits deliverable to a Participant under the Plan have not been delivered 2 at the time of the Participant's death, such benefits shall be delivered to the Designated Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The "Designated Beneficiary" shall be the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by a Participant in a writing filed with the Committee in such form and at such time as the Committee shall require. If a deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any benefits distributable to the Participant shall be distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If a deceased Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the complete distribution of benefits to the Designated Beneficiary under the Plan, then any benefits distributable to the Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary. 4.5. Agreement With Company. A Cash Incentive Award under the Plan may be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, prescribe. The terms and conditions of any Cash Incentive Award to any Participant may be reflected in such form of written document as is determined by the Committee. A copy of such document shall be provided to the Participant, and the Committee may, but need not require that the Participant sign a copy of such document. Such document is referred to in the Plan as an "Award Agreement" regardless of whether any Participant signature is required. 4.6. Action by Company or Subsidiary. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be by resolution of its board of directors, or by action of one or more members of the board (including a committee of the board) who are duly authorized to act for the board, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of any stock exchange) by a duly authorized officer of such company. 4.7. Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender shall include any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. 4.8.

A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person. (b) The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any participating employee or other individual the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or the right to continue to provide services to 3 the Company or any Subsidiary, nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. 4.9. Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.

The term "Affiliate" means any person with whom the Company is considered to be a single employer under section 414(b) of the Code and any person with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under section 414(c) of the Code. (b) BOARD. The term "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company. (c) PARTICIPANT. The term "Participant" means an eligible member of the Board who participates in the Plan. (d) QUARTER.

Section 1.409A-1(i) and such rules as may be established by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or his or her delegate from time to time. (g) TERMINATION DATE. An individual's "Termination Date" is the date on which the individual ceases to serve on the boards of directors of the Company and the Affiliates, subject to the following: (i) A director will be deemed to have ceased to serve on the board of directors of the Company and the Affiliates at the time the director and the Company reasonably anticipate that a level of bona fide services the individual would perform for the Company and the Affiliates as a director after such date would permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36 month period (or the full period of service to the Company and the Affiliates if the individual has performed services as a director for the Company and the Affiliates for less than 36 months). (ii) The relationship as a director will be treated as continuing intact while the individual is on a bona fide leave of absence (determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)). (h) UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY. The term "Unforeseeable Emergency" shall mean a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant's spouse, the Participant's beneficiary, or the Participant's dependent; loss of the Participant's property due to casualty; or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant; provided, however, that the determination of Unforeseeable Emergency shall be made by the Administrator in a manner that is consistent with the meaning of Unforeseeable Emergency set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(3). SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY. Each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or the Affiliates shall participate in the Plan as of the first day he/she begins service on the Board. SECTION 4. PHANTOM STOCK ACCOUNT. The Company will maintain a Phantom Stock Account for each Participant. The Phantom Stock Account will be credited each Quarter with the number of units of phantom stock equal to the result obtained by dividing the portion of the Quarterly Phantom Stock Amount by the average of the high and low price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of each Quarter. Until distribution as provided herein, the Participant's Phantom Stock Account will be credited with additional units of phantom stock representing dividends declared on the Company's common stock based on the average of the high and low price of such stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date such dividend is paid. The last day of each Quarter shall be a "Valuation Date" with respect to the Phantom Stock Account. The Phantom Stock Account will be merely a bookkeeping entry on the Company's books so that no trust or escrow arrangement will be used and the Participant will remain a general, unsecured creditor with respect to his or her account. As promptly as practicable following the end of each Quarter, a statement will be sent to each Participant reflecting the balance in his or her Phantom Stock Account as of the end of such Quarter. 2 SECTION 5. DISTRIBUTIONS. (a) Generally. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 5, including without limitation paragraph 5(d)(iii), a Participant's benefits will be distributed in a lump sum within 30 days after the Quarter in which the Participant's Termination Date occurs. (b) Distributions to Specified Employees. If a Participant is a Specified Employee at the Participant's Termination Date, and distribution is made to the Participant by reason of the occurrence of such Termination Date, distributions of benefits under the Plan may not be made before the date that is six months after the Participant's Termination Date or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant. At the end of the six-month period described in the preceding sentence, amounts that could not be paid by reason of the limitation in this Section (b) shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Termination Date. (c) Distributions Upon Occurrence of Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request the Administrator to allow withdrawal from the Participant's Accounts in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency. Distributions because of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). However, in making the determination of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need, the Administrator is not required to take into account any additional compensation that due to the Unforeseeable Emergency is available under another nonqualified deferred compensation plan but has not actually been paid, or that is available due to the Unforeseeable Emergency under another plan that would provide for deferred compensation except due to the application of the effective date provisions under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-6. (d) General Distribution Rules. Distributions of amounts under the Plan are subject to the following: (i) Amount of Lump Sum Distributions. Distribution of a Participant's benefits under the Plan shall be in shares of the Company's common stock equal in amount to the number of units of phantom stock credited to the Participant's Phantom Stock Account as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is in fact made. If, after the Valuation Date used to determine the number of shares to be distributed, additional phantom units are credited to the Participant's Phantom Stock Account, shares of stock with respect to the additional phantom units shall be distributed as soon as practicable after being credited. 3 (ii) Deferrals During Year of Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, it is recited that phantom units with respect to any calendar year shall be allocated to the Participant's Accounts in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan, regardless of whether the Participant's Termination Date occurs during that year. (iii) Permitted Date of Distribution. For purposes of Code section 409A, a distribution will be considered to be made under the Plan as of the date specified in the Plan if it is made no later than the end of the calendar year in which such date occurs or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following that specified date, provided that the Participant is not permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph (iii) are intended to conform the payments under the Plan to the requirements of Code section 409A, and shall not be construed to permit delay by the Company of payment of amounts due earlier in accordance with the Plan. (iv) Fractional Shares. Cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional share of Company stock that would otherwise be distributed with respect to the Phantom Stock Account. (v) Application of Section 5. Distributions from a Participant's Phantom Stock Account may only be made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5. SECTION 6. PARTICIPANT'S RIGHTS UNSECURED No fund is to be created to meet payment obligations under this Plan, and the right of a Participant to receive any unpaid portion of any amounts credited to the Participant's Phantom Stock Account shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. SECTION 7. NON-ASSIGNABILITY. The right of a Participant to receive any unpaid portion of any amounts credited to his or her Phantom Stock Account shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered or be subject in any manner to alienation or anticipation, except that a Participant may designate, on forms provided by the Company, a beneficiary to receive benefits under the Plan in the event of such Participant's death. SECTION 8. ADMINISTRATION. The "Administrator" of this Plan shall be the Senior Vice President, Human Resources of the Company, who shall have authority to adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan and to interpret and implement the provisions hereof. 4 SECTION 9. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION This Plan may at any time be amended, modified or terminated by the Board. No amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect such Participant's rights with respect to amounts credited to the Participant's Phantom Stock Account. No amendment, modification, or termination shall be adopted or effective if it would result in accelerated recognition of income or imposition of additional tax under Code section 409A or, except as otherwise provided in the amendment, would cause amounts that were not otherwise subject to Code section 409A to become subject to section 409A." SECTION 10. EXECUTION AND ADOPTION. The Plan as set forth herein is hereby adopted by the undersigned officer of the Company, on ______________, 2007.

The last day of each Quarter shall be a "Valuation Date" with respect to the Phantom Stock Account.

SECTION 7. PAYMENT OF DEFERRED FEES. (a) Distributions Pursuant to Participant's Elections. (i) By filing a Distribution Election, a Participant may elect to receive distribution of benefits under the Plan in a lump sum in a specified calendar year, or in annual installments commencing in a specified calendar year, provided that such year of payment or commencement, respectively, may not be later than the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant's Termination Date occurs, or (B) in a lump sum that is made, or annual installments that commence in the calendar year in which the Participant's Termination Date occurs, or in the first or second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant's Termination Date occurs. Subject to Section 7(e)(iv) and to the following sentence, distribution to be made in any year in accordance with this Section 7 shall be made on February 15 of that calendar year; provided that if the distribution is to be made in the calendar year in which the Participant's Termination Date occurs, distribution shall be made on the Participant's Termination Date. A Participant's Distribution Election may also specify that distribution of Plan benefits will be accelerated to the date of a Change in Control Event. (ii) A director may elect a different time of payment for benefits attributable to fees for each different calendar year of service, provided that the Distribution Election applicable to fees attributable to services for any calendar year must be filed no later than the date for filing the Deferral Election for such fees. 5 (iii) In the absence of filing a timely Distribution Election for fees deferred under the Plan for any calendar year, distribution of amounts attributable to that year shall be paid in a lump sum on the Participant's Termination Date. (b) Distributions Upon Death of Participant. If a Participant's Termination Date occurs on or after January 1, 2005 by reason of death, or if a Participant dies prior to having received all annual installments otherwise scheduled to be paid to him under this Section 7, the Participant's executor or administrator will receive a lump sum payment equal to the Account balances determined as of the Valuation Date next prior to the date of actual distribution. Subject to Section (e)(iv) below, such payment shall be made within 30 days after the date of death. (c) Distributions Upon Occurrence of Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request the Administrator to allow withdrawal from the Participant's Accounts in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency. Distributions because of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution). However, in making the determination of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need, the Administrator is not required to take into account any additional compensation that due to the Unforeseeable Emergency is available under another nonqualified deferred compensation plan but has not actually been paid, or that is available due to the Unforeseeable Emergency under another plan that would provide for deferred compensation except due to the application of the effective date provisions under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-6. (d) Distributions to Specified Employees. If a Participant is a Specified Employee at the Participant's Termination Date, and distribution is made to the Participant by reason of the occurrence of such Termination Date, distributions of benefits under the Plan may not be made before the date that is six months after the Participant's Termination Date or, if earlier, the date of death of the Participant. At the end of the six-month period described in the preceding sentence, amounts that could not be paid by reason of the limitation in this Section (d) shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following the Termination Date. (e) General Distribution Rules. Distributions of amounts under the Plan are subject to the following: (i) Amount of Lump Sum Distributions. If a Participant's Account balances are to be distributed in a lump sum in accordance with this Section 7, the distribution shall be comprised of: (A) a cash payment equal to the amount credited to the Participant's 6 Deferred Fee Account as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is in fact made; plus (B) shares of the Company's common stock equal in amount to the number of units of phantom stock credited to the Participant's Phantom Stock Account of as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is in fact made. If, after the Valuation Date used to determine the amount of cash and number of shares to be distributed, additional amounts of cash or phantom units are credited to the Participant's Accounts, such amounts (including shares of stock with respect to the Phantom Stock Account) shall be distributed as soon as practicable after being credited. (ii) Amount of Annual Installment Distributions. If a Participant's Account balances are to be distributed in annual installments in accordance with this Section 7, each annual installment distribution shall be comprised of: (A) a cash payment equal to the amount credited to the Participant's Deferred Fee Account of as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is in fact made, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the total number of annual installments elected minus the number of annual installments, if any, previously paid; plus (B) shares of the Company's common stock equal in amount to the number of units of phantom stock credited to the Participant's Phantom Stock Account of as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the date on which the distribution is in fact made, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be one and the denominator of which shall be the total number of annual installments elected minus the number of annual installments, if any, previously distributed, provided that any fractional units of phantom stock shall be paid in cash. If, after the Valuation Date used to determine the amount of cash and number of shares to be distributed as the final installment, additional amounts of cash or phantom units are credited to the Participant's Accounts under the Plan, such amounts (including shares of stock with respect to the Phantom Stock Account) shall be distributed as soon as practicable after being credited. (iii) Deferrals During Year of Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, it is recited that Director's Fees that are deferred with respect to any calendar year shall be allocated to the Participant's Accounts in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan, regardless of whether the Participant's Termination Date occurs during that year. (iv) Permitted Date of Distribution. For purposes of Code section 409A, a distribution will be considered to be made under the Plan as of the date specified in the Plan if it is made no later than the end of the calendar year in which such date occurs or, if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month following that specified date, provided that the Participant is not permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph (iv) are intended to conform the payments under this Plan to the requirements of Code section 409A, and shall not be construed to permit delay by the Company of payment of amounts due earlier in accordance with this Agreement. 7 (v) Fractional Shares. Cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional share of Company stock that would otherwise be distributed with respect to the Phantom Stock Account. (vi) Application of Section 7. Distributions from a Participant's Deferred Fee Account and/or Phantom Stock Account may only be made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7. SECTION 8. PARTICIPANT'S RIGHTS UNSECURED. No fund is to be created to meet payment obligations under this Plan, and the right of a Participant to receive any unpaid portion of any amounts credited to the Participant's Deferred Fee Account and/or Phantom Stock Account shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. SECTION 9. NON-ASSIGNABILITY. The right of a Participant to receive any unpaid portion of any amounts credited to his or her Deferred Fee Account and/or Phantom Stock Account shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered or be subject in any manner to alienation or anticipation, except that a Participant may designate, on forms provided by the Company, a beneficiary to receive benefits under the Plan in the event of such Participant's death. SECTION 10. ADMINISTRATION. The "Administrator" of this Plan shall be the Senior Vice President, Human Resources of the Company, who shall have authority to adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan and to interpret and implement the provisions hereof. SECTION 11. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION This Plan may at any time be amended, modified or terminated by the Board. No amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect such Participant's rights with respect to amounts credited to the Participant's Deferred Fee Account and/or Phantom Stock Account. No such amendment, modification, or termination shall be adopted or effective if it would result in accelerated recognition of income or imposition of additional tax under Code section 409A or, except as otherwise provided in the amendment, would cause amounts that were not otherwise subject to Code section 409A to become subject to section 409A. 8 SECTION 12. EXECUTION AND ADOPTION. The amended and restated Plan as set forth herein is hereby adopted by the undersigned officer of the Company, on ______________, 2007.
