The Notes shall be issuable in book-entry form and in accordance with Section 2.03 beneficial ownership interests in the Book-Entry Notes shall initially be held and transferred through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary; provided, however, that Notes purchased by Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers or by other investors who otherwise request prior to the Closing Date will be delivered in fully registered, certificated form (“Definitive Notes”).

(b)    The Notes shall be executed by manual signature by an authorized officer of the Issuer.

All Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication.

 

34


(c)    The aggregate principal amount of the Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture shall be unlimited.

Section 2.02    Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

(a)    The Issuer may, at its own expense, appoint any Person with appropriate experience as a securities registrar to act as Note Registrar hereunder; provided that in the absence of any other Person appointed in accordance herewith acting as Note Registrar, the Indenture Trustee agrees to act in such capacity in accordance with the terms hereof. The Note Registrar shall be subject to the same standards of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Indenture Trustee, and the provisions of Sections 11.01, 11.02, 11.03, 11.04, 11.05(b), and 11.05(c) shall apply to the Note Registrar to the same extent that they apply to the Indenture Trustee and with the same rights of recovery. Any Note Registrar appointed in accordance with this Section 2.02(a) may at any time resign by giving at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Issuer. The Issuer may at any time terminate the agency of any Note Registrar appointed in accordance with this Section 2.02(a) by giving written notice of termination to such Note Registrar, with a copy to the Servicer.

At all times during the term of this Indenture, there shall be maintained at the office of the Note Registrar a Note Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Note Registrar may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the Note Registrar as to the information set forth in the Note Register.

Upon written request of any Noteholder of record made for purposes of communicating with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under the Indenture (which request must be accompanied by a copy of the communication that the Noteholder proposes to transmit), the Note Registrar, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such request, must afford the requesting Noteholder access during normal business hours to, or deliver to the requesting Noteholder a copy of, the most recent list of Noteholders held by the Note Registrar. Every Noteholder, by receiving such access, agrees with the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that neither the Note Registrar nor the Indenture Trustee will be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of any Noteholder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

(b)    No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Tax Restricted Note or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is otherwise made in accordance with Section 2.02(k).

 

35


If a transfer of any Note that constitutes a Definitive Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Notes or a transfer of a Book-Entry Note to a successor Depositary as contemplated by Section 2.03(c)), the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-4 or Exhibit B-5 and a certificate from the prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Note Registrar to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Parent, the Guarantor, the Obligors, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager or the Note Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer or such Noteholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.

If a transfer of any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Book-Entry Notes), then the Holder is deemed to represent to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that it is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and is acquiring a Rule 144A Global Note (or interest therein) for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are qualified institutional buyers). Except as provided in the following two paragraphs, no interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for any Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of an interest in such Rule 144A Global Note.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for a Class of Book-Entry Notes (other than a Rule 144A Global Note that is a Tax Restricted Note) may be transferred to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for such Class of Notes upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, and credit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Note, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Class of Notes to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions, the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note in respect of the applicable Class of Notes and increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note for such Class by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.

Also notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Notes may be transferred by any Note Owner holding such interest to any Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer) that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Note of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Note upon delivery to the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee of (i) such certifications or opinions as are contemplated by the second paragraph of this Section 2.02(b) and (ii) such written orders and

 

36


instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Note. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of the certifications or opinions contemplated by the second paragraph of this Section 2.02(b), the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the subject Rule 144A Global Note by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, and shall cause a Definitive Note of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Note, and in a denomination equal to the reduction in the denomination of such Rule 144A Global Note, to be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with this Indenture to the applicable Transferee.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, no beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for any Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note. On or prior to the Release Date, a Note Owner desiring to effect any such Transfer shall be required to obtain from such Note Owner’s prospective Transferee a written certification substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B-1 certifying that such Transferee is not a U.S. Person (as defined under Regulation S). On or prior to the Release Date, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note for each Class of Book-Entry Notes may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. The Regulation S Global Note for each Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be deposited with the Indenture Trustee as custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depositary.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, after the Release Date, any interest in a Regulation S Global Note for a Class of Book-Entry Notes may be transferred to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note for such Class of Notes upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Note, and credit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Class of Notes to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such orders and instructions, the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note in respect of the applicable Class of Notes and increase the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Notes for such Class by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.

Neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be obligated to register or qualify any Class of Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder or Note Owner desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Parent, the Manager, the Guarantors, the Obligors, the Initial Purchasers, the Placement Agents, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager, the Backup Manager, the Servicer and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

 

37


(c)    No transfer of any Note or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan or to any Person who is directly or indirectly acquiring such Note on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with the assets of, a Plan, except in each such case, in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.02(c). Any attempted or purported transfer of a Note in violation of this Section 2.02(c) will be null and void and vest no rights in any purported Transferee.

The Note Registrar shall refuse to register the transfer of a Note that constitutes a Definitive Note or a transfer of an interest in a Book-Entry Note that following such purported transfer will constitute a Definitive Note, unless it has received from the prospective Transferee a certification that either:

(i)    such prospective Transferee is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) with the assets of any Plan; or

(ii)    such acquisition and holding by such Transferee of such Note (or any interest therein) will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any Similar Laws.

It is hereby acknowledged that either of the forms of certification attached hereto as Exhibits B-2 and B-3 is acceptable for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence. If a transfer of any interest in a Note is to be made and is permitted without delivering to the Note Registrar a certification as provided in this Section 2.02(c), the prospective Transferee of such Note, by its acquisition of such Note (or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) with the assets of any Plan or (ii) such acquisition and holding by such Transferee will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any Similar Laws.

(d)    If a Person is acquiring a Note as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Note Registrar a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Note Registrar to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the applicable foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications or agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b), (c), (d) or (k), as appropriate, of this Section 2.02.

(e)    Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.02, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose, one or more new Notes of authorized denominations of the same Class and Series evidencing a like aggregate Percentage Interest shall be executed, authenticated and delivered, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, in accordance with Section 2.01(b).

 

38


(f)    At the option of any Noteholder, its Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of authorized denominations of the same Class and Series evidencing a like aggregate principal balance, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange are entitled to receive shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with Section 2.01(b).

(g)    Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to, the Note Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(h)    No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

(i)    All Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Note Registrar, and the Note Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its standard procedures.

(j)    The Note Registrar shall provide to each of the other parties hereto, upon reasonable written request and at the expense of the requesting party, an updated copy of the Note Register.

(k)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any beneficial interest in any Tax Restricted Note may be transferred (directly or indirectly) only if (i) the Transferor of such beneficial interest notifies the Note Registrar in writing of its intention to Transfer such beneficial interest and (ii) such notice (1) identifies the Transferee, (2) contains a transfer certificate executed by the Transferee substantially in the form provided in the Series Supplement for such Series), (3) contains any other information reasonably requested by the Note Registrar and (4) is delivered to the Issuer, the Note Registrar and the independent public accountants of the Issuer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no transfer of any beneficial interest in any Tax Restricted Note of a Series shall be permitted if such transfer would result in there being collectively more than the number of Persons specified in the applicable Series Supplement that may be beneficial holders of Tax Restricted Notes. Any purported sales or Transfers of any beneficial interest in a Tax Restricted Note to a Transferee which does not comply with the requirements of this paragraph shall be null and void ab initio.

Such Note Owners shall hold

 

39


and, subject to Sections 2.02(b), 2.02(c) and 2.02(k), transfer their respective ownership interests in and to such Notes through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary and, except as provided in Section 2.03(c), shall not be entitled to Definitive Notes in respect of such ownership interests. Notes of each Class and Series of Notes initially sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by the Rule 144A Global Note for such Class and Series, which shall be deposited with the DTC Custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depositary. Notes of each Class and Series of Notes initially sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be represented by the Regulation S Global Note for such Class and Series, which shall be deposited with the Indenture Trustee as custodian for the Depositary; it being understood that at no time may any Series and Class of Notes that are designated as Tax Restricted Notes be sold in reliance on Regulation S or sold to any Person who is not a U.S. Person. All transfers by Note Owners of their respective ownership interests in the Book-Entry Notes shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the DTC Participant or brokerage firm representing each such Note Owner. Each DTC Participant shall only transfer the ownership interests in the Book-Entry Notes of Note Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depositary’s normal procedures.

(b)    The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar shall for all purposes, including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Notes, deal with the Depositary as the authorized representative of the Note Owners with respect to such Notes for the purposes of exercising the rights of Noteholders hereunder. The rights of Note Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Notes shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the DTC Participants and indirect participating brokerage firms representing such Note Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depositary as holder of the Book-Entry Notes with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Note Owners. The Indenture Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Noteholders and shall give notice to the Depositary of such record date.

(c)    Notes initially issued in book-entry form will thereafter be issued as Definitive Notes to applicable Note Owners or their nominees, rather than to DTC or its nominee, only (i) if the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such Notes and the Issuer is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) in connection with the transfer by a Note Owner of an interest in a Global Note to an Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer. Upon the occurrence of the event described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee will be required to notify, in accordance with DTC’s procedures, all DTC Participants (as identified in a listing of DTC Participant accounts to which each Class and Series of Book-Entry Notes is credited) through DTC of the availability of such Definitive Notes. Upon surrender to the Note Registrar of any Class of Book-Entry Notes (or any portion of any Class thereof) by the Depositary, accompanied by re-registration instructions from the Depositary for registration of transfer, Definitive Notes in respect of such Class (or portion thereof) and Series shall be executed and authenticated in accordance with Section 2.01(b) and delivered to the Note Owners identified in such instructions. None of the Obligors, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes for purposes of evidencing ownership of any Book-Entry

 

40


Notes, the registered holders of such Definitive Notes shall be recognized as Noteholders hereunder and, accordingly, shall be entitled directly to receive payments on, to exercise Voting Rights with respect to, and to transfer and exchange such Definitive Notes, subject to the conditions and restrictions contained in Section 2.02.

Section 2.04    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, or the Note Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same Class and Series and of like Note Principal Balance shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with Section 2.01(b). Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.04, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar 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 reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership such Note, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Note shall be found at any time.

Section 2.05    Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Obligors, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments pursuant to Article V and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Obligors, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.06    Certification by Note Owners.

(a)    Each Note Owner is hereby deemed, by virtue of its acquisition of an ownership interest in the Book-Entry Notes, to agree to comply with the transfer requirements of Section 2.02(c) and, if applicable, Section 2.02(k).

(b)    To the extent that under the terms of this Indenture it is necessary to determine whether any Person is a Note Owner, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on a certificate of such Person in such form as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and shall specify the Class, Series and Note Principal Balance of the Book-Entry Note beneficially owned; provided, however, that none of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar shall knowingly recognize such Person as a Note Owner if such Person, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, as the case may be, acquired its ownership interest in a Book-Entry Note in violation of Section 2.02(c) or 2.02(k), or if such Person’s certification that it is a Note Owner is in direct conflict with information actually known by, or made known in writing to, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, with respect to the identity of a Note Owner. The Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar shall afford any Person providing information with respect to its Note Ownership of any Book-Entry Note an

 

41


opportunity to resolve any discrepancies between the information provided and any other information available to the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, as the case may be. If any request would require the Indenture Trustee to determine the beneficial owner of any Note, the Indenture Trustee may condition its making such a determination on the payment by the applicable Person of any and all costs and expenses incurred or reasonably anticipated to be incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such request or determination.

Section 2.07    Notes Issuable in Series.

The Notes may be issued in one or more Series. Each Series shall be issued pursuant to a Series Supplement (it being understood that a single Series Supplement may provide for more than one Series). There shall be established in one or more Series Supplements, prior to the issuance of Notes of any Series:

(i)    the title of the Notes of such Series (which shall distinguish the Notes of such Series from Notes of other Series);

(ii)    any limit upon the aggregate principal balance of the Notes of such Series that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of such Series pursuant to Section 2.04 or 2.06);

(iii)    the Class A Monthly Amortization Amounts, if any, for Class A Notes of such Series, the Class B Monthly Amortization Amounts, if any, for Class B Notes of such Series and the date or dates on which the principal of the Notes of such Series is payable;

(iv)    the rate or rates at which the Notes of such Series shall bear interest, if any, or the method by which such rate shall be determined, the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, the interest payment dates on which such interest shall be payable and the record dates for the determination of Holders to whom interest is payable (in each to the extent such items are not specified herein or if specified herein to the extent such items are modified by such Series Supplement);

(v)    whether such Series has a Site Acquisition Period and, if so, the funded amount of the related Site Acquisition Account, the expiration date of the related Site Acquisition Period, the funded amount of the related Yield Maintenance Reserve Account and the Minimum Yield applicable to such Series;

(vi)    what action by the Issuer is necessary to satisfy the condition of obtaining or delivering a Rating Agency Confirmation hereunder from the applicable Rating Agencies (including, if applicable, any notice related information for such Rating Agencies);

(vii)    if such Series includes the issuance of Tax Restricted Notes, the form of Tax Restricted Notes, the form of Transfer Certificate with respect to the Tax Restricted Notes and the maximum number of beneficial holders of Tax Restricted Notes of such Series for purposes of Section 2.02(k) and the minimum denominations of each Class of such Tax Restricted Notes of such Series; and

 

42


(viii)    any other terms of such Series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture except to the extent that such Series Supplement also constitutes an amendment of this Indenture pursuant to Article XIII).

The Notes of a Series may have more than one settlement or issue date. The Notes of each Series will be assigned to one or more Classes and, with respect to any Series of Notes issued after the Initial Closing Date, shall satisfy the requirements of Section 2.12(c) as of the date of issuance.

The Issuer agrees that it will not designate, for any Series and Class of Notes that are Tax Restricted Notes, a maximum number of beneficial holders for such Series and Class of Tax Restricted Notes that would cause the aggregate maximum number of beneficial holders for all Series and Classes of Tax Restricted Notes then outstanding, collectively with the aggregate number of beneficial owners of the equity interest in the Issuer or other interests that may be treated as equity of the Issuer, to exceed 90 (ninety).

Section 2.08    Principal Amortization. Prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date for a Series, unless an Amortization Period commences, no principal shall be required to be paid with respect to such Series, except as provided in Section 2.09. During an Amortization Period or after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Excess Cash Flow shall be applied on each Payment Date as set forth in Section 5.01(a)(x). The Class Principal Balance of each Class of Notes, to the extent not earlier paid, shall be due and payable in its entirety on the Rated Final Payment Date for such Class.

Section 2.09    Prepayments.

(a)    The Issuer may not prepay the Notes in whole or in part except as expressly set forth in this Indenture. Prior to the end of the Prepayment Lockout Period of a Series, the Issuer may not optionally prepay the Notes of such Series in whole or in part unless such prepayment on the Notes of such Series is made on any Payment Date (i) in accordance with Section 7.06, (ii) in accordance with Section 7.04(c) or (iii) as provided in Section 2.09(b) or (c); provided that in connection with any such Prepayment, the Issuer shall pay the current obligations of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, along with the Indenture Trustee Fee, Servicing Fee and Other Servicing Fees, in each case to the extent sufficient funds have not been deposited in the Collection Account for distribution on the applicable Payment Date. From and after the end of the Prepayment Lockout Period of a Series, the Issuer may prepay the Notes of such Series in whole or in part at any time and from time to time at its option; provided that such prepayment is accompanied by any applicable Prepayment Consideration and, if such prepayment occurs on any day other than a Payment Date, is accompanied by payment of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through the last day of the then current Interest Accrual Period.

(b)    In connection with each disposition of a Tenant Site Asset as contemplated by Section 7.29, if and to the extent required thereunder, the Issuer shall prepay the Notes in an amount equal to the Release Price for such disposed Tenant Site Asset (and pay the current obligations of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, along with the Indenture Trustee Fee, Servicing Fee and Other Servicing Fees, in each case to the extent sufficient funds have not

 

43


been deposited in the Collection Account for distribution on the applicable Payment Date) together with any applicable Prepayment Consideration. Any funds remaining in the Liquidated Site Replacement Account that are required to be applied to prepay the Notes shall be applied, first, to pay the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee all amounts then due to each of them hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (including outstanding Advances, Advance Interest, unpaid Additional Issuer Expenses, and all unpaid fees, expenses and indemnification due to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents), and second, to prepay the Notes with, subject to Section 2.09(e), any applicable Prepayment Consideration.

(c)    On the Payment Date following the end of the Site Acquisition Period for a Series of Notes (as notified to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer), if any funds remain in the Site Acquisition Account for such Series of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall transfer such funds to the Collection Account and the Notes of such Series will be paid in accordance with the priority set forth in the Series Supplement for such Series of Notes.

(d)    Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement for any Series of Notes Outstanding, partial prepayments made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 2.09 shall be applied to the Classes of all Notes of all Series in direct order of alphabetical Class designation; provided that (i) optional prepayments (other than prepayments funded by application of amounts on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve Account) may be directed by the Issuer to be applied to the Notes of a particular Series in direct order of alphabetical designation without payment of any other Series of Notes Outstanding, (ii) prepayments made with funds remaining in the Site Acquisition Account for a Series of Notes at the end of the Site Acquisition Period for such Series of Notes shall be applied solely to the Notes of such Series pro rata based on the Note Principal Balance of such Note in such Series, without regard to the Classes of such Notes (unless an Amortization Period is in effect or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case the amount to be prepaid will be allocated within such Series in direct order of alphabetical designation) and (iii) prepayments on account of a Residual Cash Flow Partial Sweep Period shall be applied (x) if the DSCR as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the applicable Payment Date was greater than or equal to 1.50:1, solely to the Class B Notes of each Series or (y) otherwise, to the holders of the Class A Notes and Class B Notes of each Series in respect of principal pro rata based on the Note Principal Balance of each such Note of such Class and Series.

(e)    Except as otherwise provided below or in a Series Supplement for any Additional Notes, Prepayment Consideration will be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Notes prior to the first Payment Date that is twelve (12) months prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date applicable to such Notes, including in connection with (i) prepayments made in connection with dispositions of Tenant Site Assets pursuant to Section 7.29, (ii) prepayments made from unreinvested proceeds of the condemnation of Tenant Site Assets pursuant to Section 7.06 and (iii) unless an Amortization Period is in effect or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any payment of the Notes from funds on deposit in a Site Acquisition Account in accordance with Section 2.09(c), in each case, that are made prior to the first Payment Date that is twelve (12) months prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date applicable to such Notes. Except as provided in the Series Supplement with respect to a Series of Notes, Prepayment Consideration is not payable in connection with (a) any prepayments made from Excess Cash

 

44


Flow during an Amortization Period, (b) any prepayments made from Excess Cash Flow following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (c) any prepayments of the Residual Cash Flow Partial Sweep Amount to the Class A Notes or Class B Notes of any Series made following and during the continuation of a Residual Cash Flow Partial Sweep Period, (d) monthly payments based upon the Class A Monthly Amortization Amount for any Series of Notes, (e) monthly payments based upon the Class B Monthly Amortization Amount for any Series of Notes or (f) any prepayment of the Notes on or after the first Payment Date that is twelve (12) months prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date applicable to such Note. Any Prepayment Consideration due will be paid in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5.01(a). Prepayment Consideration that is not paid when due if funds are not available to make such payment pursuant to Section 5.01(a) will not bear interest and the failure on the part of the Issuer to pay such Prepayment Consideration shall not constitute an Event of Default or otherwise provide to the Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders) any additional rights or remedies.

(f)    Commencing on the Payment Date specified in a Series Supplement for any Series of Class A Notes or Class B Notes, and subject to the availability of funds for such purpose, a portion of the principal of the Class A Notes or Class B Notes of such Series will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Class A Monthly Amortization Amount or Class B Monthly Amortization Amount for such Notes, as applicable, and such Payment Date as specified in the Series Supplement for such Series. Failure on the part of the Issuer to pay the entire Class A Monthly Amortization Amount or Class B Amortization Amount for such Notes on any Payment Date, other than the Rated Final Payment Date, will not constitute an Event of Default or otherwise provide to the Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders) any additional rights or remedies.

(g)    Commencing on each Payment Date on which a Residual Cash Flow Partial Sweep Period is in effect, and subject to the availability of funds for such purpose, a portion of the principal of either the Class B Notes of each Series or the Class A Notes and Class B Notes of each Series, as applicable, will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Residual Cash Flow Sweep Amount as set forth in Section 5.01(a)(xiv). Failure on the part of the Issuer to pay the entire Residual Cash Flow Sweep Amount for such Notes on any Payment Date, other than the Rated Final Payment Date, will not constitute an Event of Default or otherwise provide to the Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders) any additional rights or remedies.

Section 2.10    Post-ARD Additional Interest. Additional interest (“Post-ARD Additional Interest”) shall accrue with respect to a Note of a Series from and after the Post-ARD Period for such Series on the Note Principal Balance of each Note of such Series at a per annum rate (each, a “Post-ARD Additional Interest Rate”) equal to the rate determined by the Servicer to be the greater of (i) 5.0% per annum and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the following exceeds the Note Rate for such Note: (A) the yield to maturity (adjusted to a “mortgage equivalent basis” pursuant to the standards and practices of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association) on the Anticipated Repayment Date for such Series for such Note of the United States Treasury Security having a remaining term closest to 5 years plus (B) 5.00%, plus (C) the Post-ARD Note Spread applicable to such Note. The Servicer shall provide written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the Post-ARD Additional Interest Rate. In no event

 

45


shall the Indenture Trustee be obligated to recalculate or verify the Post-ARD Additional Interest Rate. The Post-ARD Additional Interest accrued for any Note of any Series will not be payable until the aggregate Class Principal Balance of all Notes of such Series and any other Series for which a Post-ARD Period has commenced has been reduced to zero, or is equal to, zero, and until such time, the Post-ARD Additional Interest will be deferred and added to any Post-ARD Additional Interest previously deferred and remaining unpaid (the “Deferred Post-ARD Additional Interest”). Deferred Post-ARD Additional Interest will not bear interest.

Section 2.11    Defeasance.

(a)    At any time prior to the Payment Date that is twelve (12) months prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date of the outstanding Series of Notes with the latest Anticipated Repayment Date (such Payment Date, the “Defeasance Payment Date”), the Issuer may obtain the release from all covenants of this Indenture by delivering United States government securities that provide for payments on each Payment Date which replicate the required payments and scheduled Class A Targeted Amortization Amount payments and Class B Targeted Amortization Amount payments due under the Transaction Documents with respect to all of the Notes then outstanding, including the Indenture Trustee Fee and any other amounts due and owing to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Manager, Workout Fees, Servicing Fees, Other Servicing Fees and any other amounts due and owing to the Servicer, if any, through the Defeasance Payment Date for each Series of Notes (including payment in full of the principal of the Notes on the related Defeasance Payment Date); provided that (i) prior to such Defeasance no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Issuer shall pay or deliver on the date of such defeasance (the “Defeasance Date”) (a) all interest accrued and unpaid on the Outstanding Class Principal Balance of each Class of Notes to but not including the Defeasance Date (and, if the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, the interest that would have accrued to but not including the next Payment Date), (b) all other sums then due under each Class of Notes and all other Transaction Documents executed in connection therewith, including any costs incurred in connection with such defeasance, and (c) U.S. government securities providing for payments equal to the Scheduled Defeasance Payments. In addition, the Issuer shall deliver to the Servicer on behalf of the Indenture Trustee (1) a security agreement granting the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest on the U.S. government securities so delivered by the Issuer, (2) an Opinion of Counsel as to the enforceability and perfection of such security interest, (3) a confirmation by an Independent certified public accounting firm that the U.S. government securities so delivered are sufficient to pay all interest due from time to time after the Defeasance Date (or if the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, due after the next Payment Date) and all principal due upon maturity for each Class of Notes, and all Indenture Trustee Fee and Workout Fees, if any and (4) a copy of the notice that has been provided to the Rating Agencies. The Issuer, pursuant to the security agreement described above, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the U.S. government securities shall be made directly to the Indenture Trustee and applied to satisfy the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and the other Transaction Documents.

(b)    If the Asset Entities will continue to own any material assets other than the U.S. government securities delivered in connection with the defeasance, the Issuer shall establish or designate a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote successor entity acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, with respect to which a substantive non-consolidation Opinion of Counsel reasonably

 

46


satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee and to transfer to that entity the pledged U.S. government securities. The new entity shall assume the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes being defeased and the security agreement and the Obligors and the Guarantor shall be relieved of their obligations in respect thereof under the Transaction Documents. The Issuer shall pay Ten Dollars ($10) to such new entity as consideration for assuming such obligations.

Section 2.12    New Tenant Site Assets; Deferred Additional Tenant Site Assets; Additional Notes.

(a)    From time to time the Issuer may add one or more Tenant Site Assets that it or an Asset Entity has acquired, and the related Tenant Leases, as additional collateral for the Notes. Each such Tenant Site Asset may be so added by transferring such Tenant Site Asset to an existing Asset Entity or enabling an existing Asset Entity to acquire such Tenant Site Assets (each such Tenant Site Asset, an “Additional Tenant Site Asset”) or by designating one or more Additional Asset Entities that owns one or more Tenant Site Assets (each such Tenant Site Asset, an “Additional Obligor Tenant Site Asset”)) or, during a Site Acquisition Period, by obtaining funding for such Tenant Site Assets from a Site Acquisition Account. In connection with each such addition the following conditions, as certified to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by the Manager in accordance with Section 2.12(d) must be satisfied: (i) during a Special Servicing Period, the Servicer consents thereto, (ii) if any such Additional Tenant Site Asset or Additional Obligor Tenant Site Asset is, or owns, a Mortgaged Tenant Site Asset, the Issuer provides to the Indenture Trustee with respect thereto a Deed of Trust and a Title Policy with respect thereto (provided that the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall have no obligation to review or verify the contents of such documents), (iii) the Issuer represents that it has conducted its customary environmental review with respect to such Additional Tenant Site Asset or Additional Obligor Tenant Site Asset and that, based upon such review, it is not aware of any material environmental liabilities affecting such Tenant Site Asset, (iv) if such Tenant Site Asset is an Additional Obligor Tenant Site Asset, the Additional Asset Entity executes and delivers to the Indenture Trustee a Joinder Agreement (provided that the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall have no obligation to review such agreement), (v) if such Additional Tenant Site Asset or Additional Obligor Tenant Site Asset (or group of such Tenant Site Assets) is to be funded in whole or in part from a Site Acquisition Account, (a) the amount of funds withdrawn from the Site Acquisition Account for a Series of Notes in respect of such Additional Tenant Site Asset or Additional Obligor Tenant Site Asset (or group of such Tenant Site Assets) will not exceed the lesser of (A) the amount of the Tenant Site Asset Cost Basis for such Additional Tenant Site Asset or Additional Obligor Tenant Site Asset (or group of such Tenant Site Assets) and (B) an amount that would cause the Yield (calculated for such Additional Tenant Site Asset or Additional Obligor Tenant Site Asset (or group of such Tenant Site Assets)) to be not less than the Minimum Yield applicable to such Series and (b) (1) if such addition if funded in whole or in part from the Site Acquisition Account for the Series 2017-1 Notes, the Issuer will satisfy the Tenant Quality Tests or (2) if such addition is funded in whole or in part from a Site Acquisition Account other than the Site Acquisition Account for the Series 2017-1 Notes, the Issuer will satisfy additional funding conditions with respect to such Site Acquisition Account set forth in the Series Supplement for such Series of Notes; and (vi) the Manager delivers an updated schedule reflecting such Additional Tenant Site Assets to the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Servicer.

 

47


(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Issuer may from time to time contribute to an Asset Entity, or an Asset Entity may acquire, additional Tenant Site Assets and any related Tenant Leases without complying with the conditions set forth in Section 2.12(a) (each such Tenant Site Asset, a “Deferred Additional Tenant Site Asset”). Such Deferred Additional Tenant Site Asset may thereafter be added by the Issuer as an Additional Tenant Site Asset (and shall thereafter cease to be a Deferred Additional Tenant Site Asset) in accordance with Section 2.12(a); provided that until such Deferred Additional Tenant Site Asset becomes an Additional Tenant Site Asset pursuant to Section 2.12(a), (i) Annualized Net Cash Flow attributable to such Deferred Additional Tenant Site Asset will be excluded from any determination of DSCR, (ii) such Deferred Additional Tenant Site Asset and any related Tenant Leases will be excluded from any calculation of the Tenant Quality Tests and (iii) such Deferred Additional Tenant Site Asset and any related Tenant Leases will be excluded from the covenants and representations relating to the Tenant Site Assets and the Tenant Leases (including compliance with Section 7.29 related to any disposition of a Deferred Additional Tenant Site Asset or requirement of any prepayment in connection with such disposition pursuant to Section 2.09(b)).

(c)    The Issuer may at any time and from time to time issue additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) pursuant to a Series Supplement in one or more Classes; provided that if any Notes (other than the Additional Notes) will remain outstanding after the issuance of such Additional Notes (such Notes, the “Continuing Notes”) the following conditions shall have been satisfied with respect to such issuance: (a) the Additional Notes of a particular Class shall rank pari passu with, and be rated the same as, the Continuing Notes, if any, of the Class of Notes bearing the same alphabetical Class designation (regardless of Series or date of issuance); (b) such Additional Notes may have other characteristics different than the Continuing Notes, but must have an Anticipated Repayment Date which is later than the Anticipated Repayment Date for any Series of Continuing Notes; (c) the DSCR after giving effect to such issuance (and any concurrent acquisition of any Additional Tenant Site Assets or Additional Obligor Tenant Site Assets and any concurrent repayment of Notes) is equal to or greater than 2.0 to 1; (d) a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained with respect to each Series of Notes that will remain outstanding after the issuance of such Additional Notes; and (e) the Issuer receives an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion may contain similar assumptions and qualifications as are contained in the Opinion of Counsel with respect to the tax treatment of the Notes delivered on the Initial Closing Date) to the effect that the issuance of such Additional Notes will not, for United States federal income tax purposes, (x) cause any of the Continuing Notes to be deemed to have been exchanged for a new debt instrument, (y) cause the Issuer to be taxable as other than a partnership or disregarded entity or (z) cause any of the Continuing Notes that were characterized as indebtedness at the time of issuance to be characterized as other than indebtedness. Such Additional Notes will rank senior to Continuing Notes with a lower alphabetical designation, will rank pari passu with Continuing Notes having the same alphabetical designation, and will rank subordinate to Continuing Notes with a higher alphabetical designation.

(d)    In connection with the addition of any Additional Tenant Site Assets or Additional Obligor Tenant Site Assets pursuant to Section 2.12(a), the Manager shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer an Officer’s Certificate that includes (i) a certification that the applicable conditions of Section 2.12(a) have been satisfied, (ii) if such Tenant Site Assets

 

48


are to be funded in whole or in part from a Site Acquisition Account, a calculation of the Yield and the Tenant Site Asset Cost Basis together with the amount of funds to be released from such Site Acquisition Account in connection with such addition and (iii) the amount of any related Additional Tenant Site Assets Advance Rents Deposit. The Servicer shall provide a confirmation to the Indenture Trustee of the mathematical accuracy of the certification provided by the Manager pursuant to Section 2.12(a). Upon receipt of such certificate by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) transfer an amount equal to the Additional Tenant Site Assets Advance Rents Deposit from the applicable Site Acquisition Account to the Advance Rents Reserve Account and (ii) transfer the amount of funds specified in the certificate to be released from the applicable Site Acquisition Account (less the amount of such Additional Tenant Site Assets Advance Rents Deposit) to the Issuer or its order.

ARTICLE III

ACCOUNTS

Section 3.01    Establishment of Collection Account, Site Acquisition Accounts, Reserve Accounts and Liquidated Site Replacement Account.

(a)    On or before the Initial Closing Date, an Eligible Account shall be established by the Issuer to serve as the collection account (such account, and any account replacing the same in accordance with this Indenture and the Cash Management Agreement, the “Collection Account”; and the depositary institution in which the Collection Account is maintained, the “Collection Account Bank”). On or before the Closing Date for any Series of Notes for which a Site Acquisition Account is established, an Eligible Account shall be established by the Issuer to serve as the Site Acquisition Account for such Series of Notes (the depositary institution in which such Site Acquisition Account is maintained, the “Site Acquisition Account Bank”). The Issuer shall also establish the Reserve Accounts, which accounts are more particularly described in the Cash Management Agreement. The Issuer shall also establish the Liquidated Site Replacement Account, which account is more particularly described in the Cash Management Agreement. The Collection Account, the Reserve Accounts, the Liquidated Site Replacement Account and each Site Acquisition Account shall be non-interest bearing segregated trust accounts under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee (which dominion and control may be exercised by the Servicer as provided in Section 2.01 of the Servicing Agreement or other designee of the Indenture Trustee); and except as expressly provided hereunder or in the Cash Management Agreement, the Obligors shall not have the right to control or direct the investment or payment of funds therein. The Obligors may elect to change any financial institution in which the Collection Account, the Liquidated Site Replacement Account or any Site Acquisition Account shall be maintained if such institution is no longer an Eligible Bank, subject to the immediately preceding sentence.

(b)    The Issuer shall pay all reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the transactions and other matters contemplated by this Section 3.01, including the Indenture Trustee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and all reasonable fees and expenses of the Collection Account Bank, the Liquidated Site Replacement Account and each Site Acquisition Account Bank, including their reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Section 3.02    Deposits to Collection Account. The Issuer shall cause all amounts on deposit in the Lock Box Account attributable to the Tenant Site Assets to be transferred to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt thereof. It is understood that standing instructions to the banks that hold the related Lock Box Account and Collection Account shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.02; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the Lock Box Account or Collection Account and all fees, expenses and indemnity amounts payable to any entity that is holding such Lock Box Account or Collection Account shall, with respect to such account, be treated as costs and expenses borne by the Issuer and paid as Additional Issuer Expenses.

Section 3.03    Withdrawals from Collection Account. The Indenture Trustee may, from time to time and in accordance with the direction of the Servicer (except to pay or reimburse itself for any fees, expenses or indemnity amounts owed to it), make withdrawals from the Collection Account as necessary for the following purposes and without regard to the priorities set forth in Article V: (a) to pay to itself the Indenture Trustee Fee, (b) to pay to the persons entitled thereto any amounts deposited in error and (c) to clear and terminate the Collection Account on or after the date there are no Notes Outstanding. During an Amortization Period or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, from time to time and in accordance with the direction of the Servicer (except to pay or reimburse itself for any fees, expenses or indemnity amounts owed to it), without regard to the priorities set forth in Section 5.01(a), make withdrawals from the Collection Account to pay or reimburse the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee for unreimbursed Advances, including Advance Interest thereon, and other amounts then due to the Servicer, the Backup Manager and the Indenture Trustee under the Transaction Documents.

Section 3.04    Application of Funds in Collection Account. Funds in the Collection Account shall be applied or allocated to the Reserve Accounts in accordance with Section 5.01(a) of this Indenture and Section 3.03 of the Cash Management Agreement; provided that amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on any Payment Date which were received in the preceding Collection Period but are attributable to amounts due from a Tenant in a succeeding Collection Period shall remain in the Collection Account and not be deemed to be available for distribution until the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which such amounts were due from such Tenant. The amount available on each Payment Date to be so distributed is referred to as “Available Funds” on such Payment Date.

Section 3.05    Application of Funds after Event of Default. During the continuance of any Event of Default, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article III, either the Servicer (acting on behalf of the Indenture Trustee) or the Indenture Trustee (at the written request of the Servicer) may, in its sole discretion and in accordance with Section 4.01(b), apply any and all funds on deposit in the Collection Account on the last day of the immediately preceding Collection Period or the Reserve Accounts (other than any Site Acquisition Account) and all other cash reserves held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee against all or any portion of any of the Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Article V.

Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all funds of the Obligors which are deposited with the Collection Account Bank as Reserves or with any Site Acquisition Account Bank hereunder shall be invested by such institution in one or more Permitted Investments at the direction of the Manager in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement and any investment income with respect thereto shall be credited to the related Reserve Account or the applicable Site Acquisition Account, as the case may be. In the absence of timely written investment direction in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement, such funds shall remain uninvested. After repayment of all of the Obligations, all funds held as Reserves will be promptly returned to, or as directed by, the Issuer.

(b)    Funding at Closing. The Issuer shall deposit with the Indenture Trustee the amounts necessary to fund each of the Reserves and each Site Acquisition Account as set forth below. Deposits into the Reserves or any Site Acquisition Account on any Closing Date may occur by deduction from the amount of proceeds of the issuance of the Notes on such Closing Date that otherwise would be disbursed to the Issuer, followed by deposit of the same into the applicable Reserve Account or Site Acquisition Account, as the case may be, in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement on such Closing Date.

under Article V on the Initial Closing Date and each Payment Date, the amount required to be on deposit in the Impositions and Insurance Reserve Account which will be an amount equal to all Impositions and Insurance Premiums that the Manager reasonably estimates (provided that any amounts in respect of blanket policies shall include only that portion of Insurance Premiums allocated to the coverage provided for the Tenant Site Assets) will be payable with respect to the Tenant Site Assets during the immediately succeeding Collection Period (said funds, together with any interest thereon and additions thereto, the “Impositions and Insurance Reserve”); provided that the Obligors will not be required to deposit or hold any funds in the Impositions and Insurance Reserve Account on the Initial Closing Date or any Payment Date unless the Manager reasonably estimates that the amount of such Impositions and insurance premiums for the immediate succeeding Collection Period will exceed $10,000. The Impositions and Insurance Reserve Account will not be funded on the Initial Closing Date.

Section 4.04    Advance Rents Reserve. On the Initial Closing Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Collection Account Bank $1,208,100. Pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, the Asset Entities will deposit, or instruct the Collection Account Bank to deposit, (a) the Annual Advance Rents Reserve Deposit, (b) the Semi-Annual Advance Rents Reserve Deposit, (c) the Quarterly Advance Rents Reserve Deposit and (d) in connection with the acquisition of Additional Tenant Site Assets or Additional Obligor Tenant Site Assets funded from the Site Acquisition Account for a Series of Notes, an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of months remaining prior to the commencement of payment of Rents to the relevant Asset Entity under the Tenant Leases for such Tenant Site Assets and (ii) the amount of monthly rent due under the Tenant Leases for such Tenant Site Assets (the “Additional Tenant Site Assets Advance Rents Deposit”), with the amounts deposited pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) subject to adjustment based on the late payments made by Tenants. Such amounts shall be deposited into a Reserve Account (said Reserve Account, the “Advance Rents Reserve Account,” and said funds, the “Advance Rents Reserve”) for deposit of such Advance Rents Reserve Deposit and such Advance Rents Reserve Deposit shall be held, allocated and disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Cash Management Agreement.

Section 4.05    Cash Trap Reserve. If a Cash Trap Condition shall occur when neither an Amortization Period nor a Post-ARD Period is then in effect and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, from and after the date that it is determined that a Cash Trap Condition has occurred (as set forth in the Servicing Report) and for so long as such Cash Trap Condition continues to exist (and no Amortization Period is in effect or Post-ARD Period has commenced and no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing), the Available Funds remaining after the distribution pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(vii) (except as otherwise expressly provided below) shall be deposited with the Indenture Trustee and held in a Reserve Account (the “Cash Trap Reserve Account”) in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement and this Indenture (such funds, together with any interest thereon, the “Cash Trap Reserve”). Prior to the commencement of an Amortization Period or a Post-ARD Period, if such Cash Trap Condition ceases to exist and if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any funds then on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve Account shall be released to the Issuer. On the first Payment Date to occur on or after the commencement of an Amortization Period or a Post-ARD Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Default that is then continuing or on any other Payment Date at the election of the Issuer, all funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve Account shall be transferred to the Collection Account and applied on such Payment Date in accordance with Article V.

On each Payment Date, in accordance with the Servicer’s written direction, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Amount for each Series of Notes from the Yield Maintenance Reserve Account for that Series in accordance with Section 5.01(b).

The final payment on any Note will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Note at the offices of the Note Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Noteholders of such final payment.

(d)    Each payment with respect to a Book-Entry Note shall be paid to the Depositary, as Holder thereof, and the Depositary shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such payment to the accounts of its DTC Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each DTC Participant shall be responsible for making such payment to the related Note Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm for which it acts as agent.

(i)    the Indenture Trustee expects that the final payment with respect to such Class of Notes will be made on such Payment Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes at the office of the Note Registrar or at such other location therein specified, and

(ii)    no interest shall accrue on such Notes from and after the end of the Interest Accrual Period for such Payment Date.

Any funds not paid to any Holder or Holders of Notes of such Class on such Payment Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Notes shall, on such date, be set aside and credited to, and shall be held uninvested in trust for, the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Notes as to which notice

 

57


has been given pursuant to this Section 5.01(f) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Indenture Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Noteholders to surrender their Notes for cancellation in order to receive the final payment with respect thereto. If within one (1) year after the second notice all such Notes shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, then the Indenture Trustee, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Noteholders concerning the surrender of their Notes as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Noteholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Noteholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust pursuant to this paragraph. If any Notes as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 5.01(f), shall not have been surrendered for cancellation by the second anniversary of the delivery of the second notice, then, subject to applicable escheat laws, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute to the Issuer all unclaimed funds and all liability of the Indenture Trustee with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease.

(g)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall comply with all withholding requirements respecting payments to Noteholders of interest or original issue discount that the Indenture Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law. The consent of Noteholders shall not be required for such withholding. If the Indenture Trustee does withhold any amount from payments or advances of interest or original issue discount to any Noteholder pursuant to any applicable withholding requirements, the Indenture Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such Noteholder. Any amounts so withheld shall be deemed to have been paid to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

(h)    If Additional Notes of a Class are issued that bear interest at a floating rate, for the purposes of all of the allocations provided for in this Section 5.01, such Notes will be treated as having the same alphabetical designation as the fixed rate Notes of such Class.

Section 5.02    Payments of Principal.

(a)    Any Class A Monthly Amortization Amount or Class B Monthly Amortization Amount for a Series of Notes will be payable as provided in the related Series Supplement.

(b)    Commencing on the first Payment Date to occur on or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Period or on or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Excess Cash Flow will be applied to repay amounts due in respect of principal on the Notes as provided pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(x). If the Notes of any Series are not paid in full on the Anticipated Repayment Date of such Series, a Post-ARD Period will commence with respect to such Series. During a Post-ARD Period with respect to any Series of Notes, all Excess Cash Flow will be applied to repay amounts due in respect of principal on all Notes of such Series as provided pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(xi). In addition, on each Payment Date, payments of principal on the Notes will be made from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account only to the extent that the Additional Principal Payment Amount for such Payment Date is greater than zero. The Additional Principal Payment Amount on each Payment

 

58


Date will be allocated to the Classes of Notes of each Series in direct alphabetical designation, except as otherwise provided in a Series Supplement; provided that the portion of the Additional Principal Payment Amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09(c) shall be allocated to the Notes of the Series for which the relevant Site Acquisition Account was established.

Section 5.03    Payments of Interest. On each Payment Date, Accrued Note Interest (other than Post-ARD Additional Interest) then due on all Classes of Notes will be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and each Yield Maintenance Reserve Account in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(iv) and Section 5.01(b), respectively.

Section 5.04    No Gross Up. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or the holders of beneficial interests in the Notes as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges.

Section 6.05    Title; Mortgages.

(a)    Title to the Tenant Site Assets; Perfection and Priority. Each of the Asset Entities has good and marketable title to the Tenant Site Assets owned by it, free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Encumbrances or as specified in the Schedules hereto. Deeds of Trust, when recorded, will create a valid, perfected first mortgage lien on the Mortgaged Tenant Site Assets owned by the Asset Entities, including a collateral assignment of rents (to the extent that such lien may be perfected by filing a Deed of Trust and subject only to Permitted Encumbrances) and when recorded, applicable Uniform Commercial Code financing statements will create perfected first priority security interest in the personal property located on the Mortgaged Tenant Site Assets, if any, owned by the Asset Entities to the extent that such liens and security interests may be perfected by filing or recording such Deed of Trust or a financing statement under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.05, to the Obligors’ Knowledge (i) there are no proceedings pending in condemnation or eminent domain affecting any of the Tenant Site Assets, and to the Knowledge of the Asset Entities, none is threatened and (ii) there are no mechanic’s, materialman’s or other similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor

 

60


or materials affecting the Tenant Site Assets which are or will be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the applicable Deed of Trust the effect of which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Permitted Encumbrances, in the aggregate, do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Deeds of Trust and this Indenture, materially and adversely affect the value of the Tenant Site Assets taken as a whole, impair the use or operations of the underlying Tenant Site Assets, taken as a whole, or impair the Obligors’ ability to pay their respective obligations in a timely manner.

(b)    Delivery of Mortgages and Title Policies. With respect to each Mortgaged Tenant Site Asset, the Issuer has caused to be delivered to each applicable title insurance company Deeds of Trust (or related Deeds of Trust assignments) in recordable form for recordation in the appropriate public recording office for recordation, and shall cause the original title insurance policy to follow within 540 days following (i) with respect to any Additional Tenant Site Asset or Additional Obligor Tenant Site Asset, the date on which such Tenant Site Asset is transferred as provided in Section 2.07(a), or (ii) with respect to any other Tenant Site Asset, the Initial Closing Date.

Section 6.06    Tenant Leases; Agreements.

(a)    Tenant Leases; Agreements. The Obligors have made available to the Indenture Trustee electronically, and will deliver upon request, to the Indenture Trustee (i) true and complete copies (in all material respects) of all Material Tenant Leases and (ii) a list of all Material Agreements affecting the ownership and management of the Tenant Site Assets, and such Tenant Leases and list of Material Agreements have not been modified or amended except pursuant to amendments or modifications made available electronically to the Indenture Trustee. Except for the rights of the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement, no Person has any right or obligation to manage any of the Tenant Site Assets on behalf of the Asset Entities or to receive compensation in connection with such management on behalf of the Asset Entities. Except for the parties to any leasing brokerage agreement that has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee, no Person (other than the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement) has any right or obligation to lease or solicit tenants for the Tenant Leases, or (except for cooperating outside brokers) to receive compensation in connection with such leasing.

(b)    Rent Roll, Disclosure. A true and correct copy of the Rent Roll has been delivered to the Servicer. Except as specified in the Rent Roll, or as otherwise disclosed to the Servicer in the estoppel certificates delivered to the Servicer on or before the Closing Date, to the Issuer’s and the Asset Entities’ Knowledge, (i) the Tenant Leases are in full force and effect; (ii) the Asset Entities have not given any notice of default to any Tenant under any Tenant Lease which remains uncured; (iii) no Tenant has any set off, claim or defense to the enforcement of any Tenant Lease; (iv) no Tenant is materially in default in the performance of any other obligation under its Tenant Lease; and (v) there are no rent concessions (whether in the form of cash contributions, work agreements, assumption of an existing Tenant’s other obligations, or otherwise) or extensions of time whatsoever not reflected in such Rent Roll, except, other than with respect to any Material Tenant Lease, to the extent that the failure of the representations set forth in items (i) through (iv) to be true with respect to Tenant Leases is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

61


(c)    Management Agreement. The Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a true and complete copy of the Management Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date, and such Management Agreement has not been modified or amended except pursuant to amendments or modifications delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

Section 6.07    Litigation; Adverse Facts. Other than as set forth in Schedule 6.07, there are no judgments outstanding against the Obligors, or affecting any of the Tenant Site Assets or any property of the Obligors, nor to the Obligors’ Knowledge is there any action, charge, claim, demand, suit, proceeding, petition, governmental investigation or arbitration now pending or threatened against the Obligors, respectively, or any of the Tenant Site Assets that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.08    Payment of Taxes. Except as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, all material federal, state and local tax returns and reports of the Issuer and each Asset Entity required to be filed have been timely filed (or each such Person has timely filed for an extension and the applicable extension has not expired), and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges (including any payments in lieu of taxes) upon such Persons and upon its properties, assets, income, profits, businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been timely paid except to the extent the same are being contested in accordance with Section 7.04(b).

Section 6.09    Performance of Agreements. To the Issuer’s Knowledge, neither the Issuer nor the Asset Entities are in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation of any such Persons which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.10    Governmental Regulation. The Obligors are not subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act.

Section 6.11    Employee Benefit Plans. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.11, the Obligors do not maintain or contribute to, or have any obligation (including any Contingent Obligation) under, any Employee Benefit Plans which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.12    Solvency. The Obligors (a) have not entered into any Transaction Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for their obligations under the Transaction Documents. After giving effect to the issuance of the Notes (and the use of proceeds thereof), the fair saleable value of the Obligors’ assets taken as a whole exceeds and will, immediately following the issuance of any Notes, exceed the Obligors’ total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or Contingent Obligations. The fair saleable value of the Obligors’ assets taken as a whole is and will, immediately following the issuance of any Notes (and the use of proceeds thereof), be greater than the Obligors’ probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its Contingent Obligations on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.

 

62


The Obligors’ assets taken as a whole do not and, immediately following the issuance of any Notes (and the use of proceeds thereof) will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. The Obligors do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including Contingent Obligations and other commitments) beyond their ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by the Obligors and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of the Obligors).

Section 6.13    Use of Proceeds and Margin Security. No portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes will be used by the Issuer or any Person in any manner that might cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Section 6.14    Insurance. Set forth on Schedule 6.14 is a description of all Insurance Policies applicable to the Asset Entities that are in effect as of the Closing Date. Such Insurance Policies conform to the requirements of Section 7.05. No notice of cancellation has been received with respect to such policies, and, to each Asset Entity’s Knowledge, the Asset Entities are in compliance with all conditions contained in such policies.

Section 6.15    Investments; Ownership of the Obligors. The Obligors and the Guarantor have no (a) direct or indirect interest in, including stock, partnership interest or other equity securities of, any other Person (other than in the case of the Issuer, the Asset Entities and, in the case of the Guarantor, the Issuer) or (b) direct or indirect loan, advance or capital contribution to any other Person, including all indebtedness from that other Person (other than in the case of the Issuer, in the Asset Entities and, in the case of the Guarantor, the Issuer). The Guarantor is the sole member of the Issuer and owns its limited liability company interest in the Issuer free and clear of Liens, other than Liens created under the Transaction Documents. The Issuer is the sole member of the Asset Entities and owns its limited liability company interests in the Asset Entities free and clear of Liens, other than Liens created under the Transaction Documents.

Section 6.16    Asset Agreements. With respect to each Tenant Site Asset and except to the extent the effect of the following representations not being true is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(a)    Such Asset Agreement contains the entire agreement pertaining to the applicable Tenant Site Asset covered thereby. The applicable Asset Entity has no estate, right, title or interest in or to such Tenant Site Asset except under and pursuant to such Asset Agreement. The Issuer shall have made available a true and correct electronic copy of such Asset Agreement as in effect on the Initial Closing Date to the Indenture Trustee (provided that the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to review and shall not be responsible for the contents of such Asset Agreement) and such Asset Agreement has not been modified, amended or assigned except as set forth therein.

(b)    There are no rights to terminate such Asset Agreement other than as expressly set forth in the Asset Agreement.

 

63


(c)    Each such Asset Agreement is in full force and effect and to the applicable Asset Entity’s Knowledge, no Asset Agreement Default exists on the part of such Asset Entity. The Asset Entity has not received any written notice that an Asset Agreement Default exists, or that any third party alleges the same to exist.

(d)    The applicable Asset Entity is the owner of the real property interest under and pursuant to such Asset Agreement and has not assigned, transferred, or encumbered its interest in, to, or under such Asset Agreement (other than assignments that will terminate on or prior to the Closing Date), except for Permitted Encumbrances.

Section 6.17    Environmental Compliance. Except as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect: (a) to the Obligors’ Knowledge, the Tenant Site Assets are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (b) no notice of violation of such Environmental Laws which has been received by the Obligors has been issued by any Governmental Authority which has not been resolved; and (c) no action has been taken by the Asset Entities that would cause the Tenant Site Assets to not be in compliance with any applicable Environmental Law. The representations and warranties of this Section 6.17 are the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Obligors with respect to any environmental, health or safety matter, including any arising under Environmental Laws or relating to Hazardous Materials.

Section 6.18    Tenant Site Assets. Tenant Site Assets generating not less than 95% of the Annualized Net Cash Flow calculated for the month of November 2017 derived from all Initial Tenant Site Assets consist of Tenant Site Assets with respect to which either (i) the applicable Asset Entity is permitted to assign its interest to the Indenture Trustee upon notice to, but without the consent of, any counterparty (or, if any consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the Closing Date) and permits further assignment by the Indenture Trustee and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without a need to obtain the consent of, any counterparty or (ii) the indirect transfer of the Tenant Site Asset by transfer of the equity ownership interest in the applicable Asset Entity is permitted without the consent of any counterparty.

Section 6.19    Representations Under Other Transaction Documents. Each of the Obligor’s representations and warranties set forth in the other Transaction Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the Initial Closing Date.

(b)    Annual Operating Budget and CapEx Budgets. On or before December 15 of each calendar year, commencing in 2018, the Issuer shall deliver to the Servicer (and if so requested by the Indenture Trustee promptly upon the Indenture Trustee’s request) the Operating Budget and CapEx Budget (presented on a monthly and annual basis) for the following calendar year. The initial budgeted Operating Expenses for the for the period beginning on November 5, 2017 through the end of calendar year 2017 will be approximately $13,200. For each calendar year thereafter, the budgeted Operating Expenses in respect of (i) Insurance Premiums will be increased in accordance with the terms of the applicable Insurance Policies, (ii) Taxes (if any) will be increased in accordance with applicable law and (iii) all other budgeted annualized Operating Expenses for the Asset Entities, in the aggregate (excluding the Management Fee), may increase no more than 5.0% per annum; provided that the budgeted Operating Expenses may be adjusted monthly by the Manager during any calendar year as Additional Tenant Site Assets or Additional Obligor Tenant Site Assets are acquired to reflect the expected Operating Expenses for those Tenant Site Assets. Subject to the limitations set forth above, the Issuer may

 

65


make changes to the Operating Budget and the CapEx Budget from time to time as it deems necessary. The Operating Budget shall identify and set forth the Issuer’s reasonable estimate of all Operating Expenses on a line-item basis consistent with the form of Operating Budget delivered to the Servicer prior to the Initial Closing Date. The Operating Budget and the CapEx Budget will be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (if requested) and the Servicer for the Indenture Trustee’s and Servicer’s information only and shall not be subject to the Indenture Trustee’s or Servicer’s approval; provided that the Issuer shall cause each such budget to be delivered in a form consistent with the budgets delivered to the Servicer on or about the Initial Closing Date.

(c)    Material Notices.

(i)    The Issuer shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, copies of all notices given or received with respect to a default under any term or condition related to any Permitted Indebtedness of any Obligor, and shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer within ten (10) days of any event of default of which it obtains Knowledge with respect to any such Permitted Indebtedness.

(ii)    The Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer copies of any and all notices of a default or breach which is reasonably expected to result in a termination of any Material Agreement or any Material Tenant Lease; provided that after and during the continuance of an Amortization Period or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer copies of any and all notices of a material default or breach which is reasonably expected to result in a termination of any material contract or agreement or any Tenant Lease.

(d)    Events of Default, etc. Promptly upon the Issuer obtaining Knowledge of any of the following events or conditions, the Issuer shall deliver to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee (upon which each may conclusively rely) a certificate executed on its behalf by an Executive Officer specifying the nature and period of existence of such condition or event and what action the Issuer or the affected Asset Entity or any Affiliate thereof has taken, is taking and proposes to take with respect thereto: (i) any condition or event that constitutes a Default or an Event of Default; (ii) the occurrence of any event that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any actual or alleged material breach or default or assertion of (or written threat to assert) remedies under the Management Agreement.

(e)    Litigation. Promptly upon the Issuer obtaining Knowledge of (1) the institution of any action, suit, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration against an Obligor or any of the Tenant Site Assets not previously disclosed in writing to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and is not covered by insurance or (2) any material development in any action, suit, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration at any time pending against or affecting an Obligor or the Tenant Site Assets not covered by insurance which, in each case, would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer and, upon request from the Servicer, provide such other information as may be reasonably available to them to enable the Servicer and its counsel to evaluate such matter.

 

66


(f)    Insurance. Prior to the end of the policy period for each Insurance Policy covering the Obligors, the Issuer shall deliver certificates, reports, or other information (all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Servicer), (i) outlining all material insurance coverage maintained as of the date thereof on behalf of the Obligors under such Insurance Policy and all material insurance coverage planned to be maintained on behalf of the Obligors in the subsequent insurance policy period and (ii) to the extent not paid directly by the Manager, evidencing payment in full of the premiums for such insurance policies.

(g)    Other Information. With reasonable promptness, the Issuer shall deliver such other information and data with respect to the Obligors or the Tenant Site Assets as from time to time may be reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer.

Section 7.03    Existence; Qualification. The Issuer shall, and shall cause each Asset Entity to, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a limited liability company and all rights and franchises material to its business, including its qualification to do business in each state where it is required by law to so qualify, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that nothing contained in this Section 7.03 shall restrict the merger or consolidation of an Asset Entity with another Asset Entity.

Section 7.04    Payment of Impositions and Claims; Site Owner Impositions.

(a)    Except for those matters being contested pursuant to clause (b) below, the Issuer shall pay and shall cause the Asset Entities to promptly pay (i) all Impositions; (ii) all claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets (hereinafter referred to as the “Claims”); and (iii) all federal, state and local income taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes and all other taxes and assessments of the Issuer and the Asset Entities on their businesses, income, profits, franchises or assets (except to the extent that effect of which is not reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect); in each instance before any penalty or fine is incurred with respect thereto; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to require that an Asset Entity pay any such tax or other liability that is imposed on a Site Owner, Tenant or a third party or that such Site Owner, Tenant or third party is contractually or legally obligated to pay and the terms “Impositions” and “Claims” shall be construed accordingly.

(b)    The Asset Entities shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition or Claim relating to a Tenant Site Asset that it is otherwise obligated to pay, discharge or remove so long as the Asset Entities or the Issuer contest in good faith such Imposition, Claim or the validity, applicability or amount thereof by an appropriate legal proceeding which operates to prevent the collection of such amounts and the sale of the applicable Tenant Site Asset or any portion thereof, so long as: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) prior to the date on which such Imposition or Claim would otherwise have become delinquent, the Issuer shall have caused the Asset Entities to have given the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer prior written notice of their intent to contest said Imposition or Claim and shall have deposited with the Indenture Trustee (or with a court of competent jurisdiction or other appropriate body reasonably approved by the Servicer) such additional amounts as are necessary to keep on deposit at all times, an amount by way of cash (or

 

67


other form reasonably satisfactory to the Servicer), equal to (after giving effect to any Reserves then held by the Indenture Trustee for the item then subject to contest) at least 125% of the total of (x) the balance of such Imposition or Claim then remaining unpaid, and (y) all interest, penalties, costs and charges accrued or accumulated thereon; (iii) no risk of sale, forfeiture or loss or material impairment of any interest in the applicable Tenant Site Asset or any part thereof arises, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, during the pendency of such contest; (iv) such contest does not, in the Servicer’s reasonable determination, have a Material Adverse Effect; and (v) such contest is based on bona fide, material, and reasonable claims or defenses. Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the applicable Asset Entity to, promptly pay the amount of such Imposition or Claim as finally determined, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith (it being understood that the Issuer shall have the right to direct the Indenture Trustee to use the amount deposited with the Indenture Trustee under Section 7.04(b)(ii) for the payment thereof). The Indenture Trustee (at the sole direction of the Servicer) shall have full power and authority, but no obligation, to apply any amount deposited with the Indenture Trustee to the payment of any unpaid Imposition or Claim to prevent the sale or forfeiture of the applicable Tenant Site Asset for non-payment thereof, if the Servicer reasonably believes that such sale or forfeiture is threatened.

(c)    If the Issuer, the Manager or the relevant Asset Entity obtains Knowledge that a Prepaid Site is subject to Site Owner Impositions (each such Prepaid Site, an “Affected Site”) the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to cause the relevant Site Owner to pay or otherwise discharge or remove such Site Owner Impositions prior to the time that such Site Owner Impositions would result in the sale, forfeiture or loss of the Tenant Site Asset in such Affected Site. If the Issuer determines it is unlikely that the Site Owner will pay or otherwise discharge or remove such Site Owner Impositions prior to such sale, forfeiture or loss of the fee interest for such Affected Site, the Issuer may, and if the pro forma DSCR after giving effect to the termination of any Tenant Leases on such Affected Site would be less than 1.70:1, the Issuer shall (within thirty (30) days after it makes such determination, take one of the following actions:

(i)    pay the Site Owner Impositions directly in an amount sufficient to discharge or remove such Site Owner Impositions (to the extent the Issuer has funds available pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(xiv) or otherwise available to it in accordance with this Indenture);

(ii)    dispose of such Prepaid Site pursuant to Section 7.29 (provided that the disposition of such Prepaid Site shall not count against the aggregate limits set forth in Section 7.29(a)(i) or the first sentence of Section 7.29(b)); or

(iii)    substitute a Replacement Tenant Site Asset in accordance with Section 7.30 (provided that the substitution of such Prepaid Site shall not count against the aggregate limits set forth in clause (i) of Section 7.30).

If the Issuer is obligated to take one of the foregoing actions and fails to do so, the Servicer will be obligated to make a Servicing Advance in an amount set forth in clause (i) above and pay such Site Owner Imposition if the effect of such payment will be to discharge such Site Owner Impositions and the Servicer determines in its discretion that (x) the pro forma DSCR after giving effect to such Servicing Advance (for this purpose including the obligation to

 

68


repay such Servicing Advance during the following twelve (12) months in the denominator of the calculation of DSCR) will be equal to or greater than the pro forma DSCR after giving effect to the termination of all Tenant Leases associated with such Affected Site if such Servicing Advance were not made and (y) such Servicing Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. If the Issuer (or the Servicer on its behalf) makes any such payment, any subsequent recoveries of such payment shall be deposited in the Collection Account.

Section 7.05    Maintenance of Insurance. The Issuer shall ensure coverage on behalf of the Obligors the following described policies of insurance without cost to the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer (the “Insurance Policies”):

(i)    Commercial general liability insurance, including death, bodily injury and broad form property damage coverage with a combined single limit in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate for any policy year;

(ii)    An umbrella excess liability policy with a limit of not less than $5,000,000 over primary insurance, which policy shall include coverage for water damage, so-called assumed and contractual liability coverage, premises medical payment and automobile liability coverage, and coverage for safeguarding of personalty and shall also include such additional coverages and insured risks which are acceptable to the Servicer;

(iii)    All Insurance Policies shall be in content (including endorsements or exclusions, if any), form, and amounts, and issued by companies, reasonably satisfactory to the Servicer from time to time and shall name the Indenture Trustee and its successors and assignees as their interests may appear as an “additional insured” for each of the policies under this Section 7.05. All Insurance Policies shall provide that the coverage shall not be modified without thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer and shall provide that no claims shall be paid thereunder to a Person other than the Indenture Trustee without ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer. The Issuer may obtain any insurance required by this Section 7.05 through blanket policies; provided, however, that such blanket policies shall separately set forth the amount of insurance in force (together with applicable deductibles, and per occurrence limits) with respect to the Tenant Site Assets (which shall not be reduced by reason of events occurring on property other than the Tenant Site Assets) and shall afford all the protections to the Indenture Trustee as are required under this Section 7.05. Except as may be expressly provided in this Section 7.05, all policies of insurance required hereunder shall contain no annual aggregate limit of liability, other than with respect to liability insurance. If a blanket policy is issued, a certified copy of said policy shall be furnished, together with a certificate indicating that the Indenture Trustee is an additional insured (and, if applicable, loss payee) under such policy in the designated amount. The Issuer shall deliver duplicate originals of all Insurance Policies, premium prepaid for a period of one (1) year, to the Indenture Trustee (if requested) and Servicer and, in case of Insurance Policies about to expire, the Issuer will deliver duplicate originals of replacement policies satisfying the requirements hereof to the Indenture Trustee (if requested) and the Servicer prior to the date of expiration; provided, however, if such replacement policy is not yet available, the Issuer shall provide the Indenture Trustee (if requested) and the Servicer with an insurance certificate executed

 

69


by the insurer or its authorized agent evidencing that the insurance required hereunder is being maintained under such policy, which certificate shall be acceptable to the Indenture Trustee (if requested) and the Servicer on an interim basis until the duplicate original of the policy is available. An insurance company shall not be satisfactory unless such insurance company (a) is licensed or authorized to issue insurance in the state where the applicable Tenant Site Asset is located and (b) has a claims paying ability rating by one of Moody’s or Fitch of “A” (or its equivalent) or better. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a carrier which does not meet the foregoing ratings requirement shall nevertheless be deemed acceptable hereunder; provided that such carrier is reasonably acceptable to the Servicer and the Issuer shall obtain and deliver to the Servicer a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such carrier. If any insurance coverage required under this Section 7.05 is maintained by a syndicate of insurers, the preceding ratings requirements shall be deemed satisfied (without any required Rating Agency Confirmation) as long as at least 75% of the coverage (if there are four or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least 60% of the coverage (if there are five or more members of the syndicate) is maintained with carriers meeting the claims-paying ability ratings requirements by Moody’s (if applicable) set forth above and all carriers in such syndicate have a claims-paying ability rating by Moody’s of not less than “B2” (to the extent rated by Moody’s). The Issuer shall furnish the Indenture Trustee (if requested) and the Servicer receipts for the payment of premiums on such insurance policies or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Servicer in the event that such premiums have not been paid by the Manager or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. The requirements of this Section 7.05 shall apply to any separate policies of insurance taken out by the Issuer concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with the Insurance Policies. Losses shall be payable to the Indenture Trustee notwithstanding (1) any act, failure to act or negligence of the Obligors or their agents or employees, the Indenture Trustee or any other insured party which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture or all or part of such insurance payment, other than the willful misconduct of the Indenture Trustee knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy, (2) the occupation or use of the Tenant Site Asset or any part thereof for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of such policy, (3) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken pursuant to this Indenture or (4) any change in title to or ownership of the Tenant Site Assets or any part thereof. For purposes of determining whether the required insurance coverage is being maintained hereunder, each of the Indenture Trustee and Servicer shall be entitled to rely solely on a certification thereof furnished to it by the Issuer or the Manager, without any obligation to investigate the accuracy or completeness of any information set forth therein, and shall have no liability with respect thereto. The Insurance Policies shall not contain any deductible in excess of $100,000. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee (except in its capacity as successor servicer) have any duty to monitor the Issuer’s compliance with or to review any documents delivered in connection with this Section 7.05.

Section 7.06    Operation and Maintenance of the Tenant Site Assets; Casualty or Condemnation. The Issuer shall promptly give the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer written notice of any (a) casualty or loss or (b) known actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting any Tenant Site Asset or any portion thereof related to a Tenant Site Asset, and the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and

 

70


the Servicer copies of any and all material papers served in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding. All Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds (if no Amortization Period or Event of Default is then continuing) shall, at the Issuer’s election, be payable to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Liquidated Site Replacement Account and made available to the Asset Entities to acquire Tenant Site Assets within six (6) months or be applied to payment of the Notes in accordance with Section 7.29(b). If the Issuer elects to apply Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to prepayment of the Notes, such application shall be made on the Payment Date immediately following such election in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. Prepayment Consideration will be payable on any such prepayment of the Notes occurring prior to twelve (12) months prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date. If an Amortization Period has commenced or an Event of Default is continuing, the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact for the Asset Entities, shall collect, receive and retain any Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds and make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceeding.

Section 7.07    Inspection; Investigation; Tenant Site Access. The Issuer shall permit, and shall cause each Asset Entity to permit, any authorized representatives designated by the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer to visit and inspect during normal business hours its business, including its financial and accounting records pursuant to Section 7.02, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom, to cause such records to be audited by independent public accountants and to discuss its affairs, finances and business with its officers and independent public accountants (with such party’s representative(s) present), at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested; provided that same is conducted in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with such Obligor’s business. The Obligors shall permit, and shall cause each Asset Entity to permit, any authorized representatives designated by the Indenture Trustee and Servicer, upon reasonable request and pursuant to any Tenant Site Agreement, to visit and inspect the Tenant Sites relating to the Tenant Site Assets, including the right to conduct site investigations with respect to environmental matters, but in any event limited to the respective Tenant Site access rights of the Obligors; provided, however, that no such site investigations or other investigations that would reasonably be deemed to be intrusive (such as the collection of samples of soil, groundwater or building materials) shall be conducted without the prior written consent of the Obligor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee and Servicer shall provide advance written notice of at least three (3) Business Days prior to visiting or inspecting any Obligor’s offices.

Section 7.08    Compliance with Laws and Obligations. Each of the Issuer and the Asset Entities will (a) comply with the requirements of all present and future applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority in all jurisdictions in which it is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business, other than those laws, rules, regulations and orders the noncompliance with which collectively could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (b) maintain all licenses and permits now held or hereafter acquired by any Obligor, the loss, suspension, or revocation of which, or failure to renew, in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (c) perform, observe, comply and fulfill all of its material obligations, covenants and conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation except to the extent the failure to so observe, comply or fulfill such could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

71


Section 7.09    Further Assurances. The Issuer shall, and shall cause each Asset Entity to, from time to time, execute or deliver such documents, instruments, agreements, financing statements, and perform such acts as the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer at any time may reasonably request to evidence, preserve or protect the Tenant Site Assets and Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the Obligations or to better and more effectively carry out the purposes of this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents. The Obligors shall file or cause to be filed all documents (including all financing statements) required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and any applicable Series Supplement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for in this Indenture and in each applicable Series Supplement. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the beginning of each calendar year beginning with the 2017 calendar year, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that in the opinion of such counsel such action has been taken with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to maintain the security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such security interest.

Section 7.10    Performance of Agreements; Termination of Tenant Site Assets. The Issuer shall, and shall cause each Asset Entity to, duly and punctually perform, observe and comply in all material respects with all of the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and agreements on its part to be performed, observed and complied with (a) hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (b) under all Material Agreements and Tenant Leases and (c) all other agreements entered into or assumed by such Person in connection with the Tenant Site Assets, and will not suffer or permit any material default or any event of default on its part (giving effect to any applicable notice requirements and cure periods) to exist under any of the foregoing except where the failure to perform, observe or comply with any agreement referred to in clause (b) or (c) of this Section 7.10 would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.10 shall not apply to any Tenant Site Asset, or any related Tenant Contract, that has been terminated or sold (including by assignment) in accordance with Section 7.23(a)(ii) or Section 7.29.

Section 7.11    Advance Rents; New Tenant Leases. Any Rents which constitute Advance Rents Reserve Deposits shall be deposited into the Advance Rents Reserve Account to be applied in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement.

default under the Management Agreement of which it has Knowledge, and (iii) prior to termination of the Manager in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, to renew the Management Agreement prior to each expiration date thereunder in accordance with its terms. If any of the Asset Entities shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of the Asset Entities to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the Indenture Trustee’s other rights or remedies under this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents, and without waiving or releasing the Asset Entities from any of their obligations hereunder or under the Management Agreement, the Issuer grants the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer on its behalf the right, upon prior written notice to the Asset Entities, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may be reasonably appropriate to cause such material conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of the Asset Entities to be performed or observed; provided, however, that neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Servicer will be under any obligation to pay such sums or perform such acts.

(b)    The Issuer shall not permit the Asset Entities to surrender, terminate, cancel, or modify (other than non-material changes) the Management Agreement, or enter into any other Management Agreement with any new Manager (other than an Acceptable Manager), or consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement, in each case without delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation and written consent of the Servicer. If at any time the Servicer consents to the appointment of a new Manager, or if an Acceptable Manager shall become the Manager, such new Manager, or the Acceptable Manager, as the case may be, then the Issuer shall cause the Asset Entities to, as a condition of the Servicer’s consent, or with respect to an Acceptable Manager, prior to commencement of its duties as Manager, execute a subordination of management agreement in substantially the form delivered on the Initial Closing Date.

(c)    The Servicer shall have the right to require that the Manager be replaced with a Person chosen by the Issuer (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing by the Servicer), upon the earliest to occur of any one or more of the following events: (i) the declaration of an Event of Default, (ii) the DSCR falls to less than 1.10:1 as of the end of any calendar month and the Servicer reasonably determines that such decline in the DSCR is primarily attributable to acts or omissions of the Manager rather than factors affecting the Obligors’ industry generally, (iii) the Manager has engaged in fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its performance under the Management Agreement or (iv) default on the part of the Manager in the performance of its obligations under the Management Agreement, and, with respect to clause (iv) only if such default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and remains unremedied for thirty (30) days after the Manager receives written notice thereof from the Servicer (provided, however, if such default is reasonably susceptible of cure, but not within such 30-day period, then the Manager may be permitted up to an additional ninety (90) days to cure such default provided that the Manager diligently and continuously pursues such cure).

The Indenture Trustee and the Servicer are each permitted to utilize and in good faith rely upon the advice of the Manager (or to utilize other agents or attorneys), in performing certain of its obligations under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, including the management, administration and maintenance of the Tenant Site Assets; Tenant Site Asset

The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office, agency or address; provided, however, that if the Issuer does not furnish the Indenture Trustee with an address in The City of New York where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, such presentations, surrenders, notices, and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices, and demands on behalf of the Issuer. The Issuer hereby appoints the Corporate Trust Office as its agency for such purposes.

(b)    The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 7.15    Estoppel Certificates.

(a)    Within ten (10) Business Days following a written request by the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, the Issuer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer a duly acknowledged written statement (upon which the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer may conclusively rely) confirming (i) the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes, (ii) the terms of payment and maturity date of the Notes, (iii) the date to which interest has been paid, (iv) whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Obligations, and if any such offsets or defenses are alleged to exist, the nature thereof shall be set forth in detail and (v) that this Indenture, the Notes, the Deeds of Trust and the other Transaction Documents are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer and each Asset Entity (as applicable) and have not been modified or amended except in accordance with the provisions thereof.

An Obligor shall not apply for, consent to, or aid, solicit, support, or otherwise act, cooperate or collude to cause the appointment of or taking possession by, a receiver, trustee or other custodian for all or a substantial part of the assets of any other Obligor. As used in this Indenture, an “Involuntary Obligor Bankruptcy” shall mean any involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, in which any Obligor is a debtor or any portion of the Tenant Site Assets is property of the estate therein. An Obligor shall not file a petition for, consent to the filing of a petition for, or aid, solicit, support, or otherwise act, cooperate or collude to cause the filing of a petition for an Involuntary Obligor Bankruptcy. In any Involuntary Obligor Bankruptcy, the other Obligors shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, consent to the entry of any order, file any motion, or support any motion (irrespective of the subject of the motion), and such Obligors shall not file or support any plan of reorganization. In any Involuntary Obligor Bankruptcy the other Obligors shall do all things reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer to assist the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer in obtaining such relief as the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall seek, and shall in all events vote as directed by the Indenture Trustee. Without limitation of the foregoing, each such Obligor shall do all things reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee to support any motion for relief from stay or plan of reorganization proposed or supported by the Indenture Trustee.

(a)    No ERISA Plans. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Asset Entity to, establish any Employee Benefit Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or commence making contributions to (or become obligated to make contributions to) any Employee Benefit Plan or Multiemployer Plan.

(b)    Compliance with ERISA. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit the Asset Entities to: (i) engage in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (ii) except as may be necessary to comply with applicable laws, establish or amend any Employee Benefit Plan, which establishment or amendment could result in liability to the Obligors or increase the benefits obligation of the Obligors (including on behalf of any ERISA Affiliate thereof); provided that if the Issuer is in default of this covenant under subsection (i), the Issuer shall be deemed not to be in default if such default results solely because (x) any portion of the Notes have been, or will be, funded

 

76


with plan assets of any Plan and (y) the purchase or holding of such portion of the Notes by such Plan or the operation of the Issuer or the Asset Entities constitutes or results in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of applicable Similar Law.

Section 7.22    Money for Payments to be Held in Trust.

(a)    The Paying Agent is hereby authorized to pay the principal of and interest on any Notes (as well as any other Obligation hereunder and under any other Transaction Document) on behalf of the Issuer and shall have an office or agency in The City of New York where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment and where notices, designations or requests in respect for payments with respect to the Notes and any other Obligations due hereunder and under any other Transaction Document may be served. The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as the initial Paying Agent for amounts due on the Notes of each Series and the other Obligations.

(b)    On each Payment Date (or such other dates as may be required or permitted hereunder), the Paying Agent shall cause all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes and other Obligations that are to be made from amounts in the Collection Account that constitute Available Funds to be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Paying Agent, and no such amounts shall be paid over to the Issuer. All such payments shall be made based on the information set forth in the Servicing Report.

(c)    Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheatment of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer pursuant to an Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose right to or interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

Section 7.23    Asset Agreements.

(a)    Modification. Except as provided in this Section 7.23, the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit the Asset Entities to, modify or amend any material substantive or economic

 

77


terms of, or, subject to the terms herein, terminate or surrender any Asset Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of the Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any such attempted or purported material modification, amendment, or any surrender, termination, sale or assignment of any Asset Agreement without the Servicer’s prior written consent shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Asset Entities shall be permitted, without the Indenture Trustee and Servicer’s consent, to:

(i)    extend the terms of an Asset Agreement on or any related Tenant Site Asset on commercially reasonable substantive and economic terms;

(ii)    terminate or sell (including by way of assignment) any Asset Agreement or any related Tenant Lease which the Issuer reasonably deems necessary in accordance with prudent business practices subject to the provisions of Section 7.10.

(iii)    provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing, except for extensions of terms, terminations and sales permitted pursuant to the foregoing clauses, amend and restate or replace the existing agreement establishing a Tenant Site Asset (an “Amended Asset Agreement”); provided that such Amended Asset Agreement is on commercially reasonable substantive and economic terms, and subject to the following conditions:

(A)    the Issuer shall have provided the Servicer with a copy of the Amended Asset Agreement certified by Issuer as being true, accurate and complete;

(B)    if the Asset Agreement being replaced is with respect to a Mortgaged Tenant Site Asset, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Amended Asset Agreement, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall have received (i) an amended Deed of Trust executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the applicable Asset Entity encumbering the property included under the Amended Asset Agreement and (ii) an endorsement to (or replacement of) the existing Title Policy covering such Mortgaged Tenant Site Asset; and

(C)    the Issuer shall pay or reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee and Servicer (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) in connection with such Amended Asset Agreement, and all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other expenses (including mortgage and intangibles taxes and documentary stamp taxes) payable in connection therewith.

(b)    Performance of Asset Agreements. The Issuer shall cause the Asset Entities to fully perform as and when due each and all of their obligations under each Asset Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Asset Agreement and shall not permit the Asset Entities to cause or suffer to occur any material breach or default in any of such obligations. The Issuer shall cause the Asset Entities to exercise any option to renew or extend any Asset

 

78


Agreement; provided that an Asset Entity may elect not to exercise any such option if, and to the same extent that such Asset Entity would be entitled to terminate, sell or assign such Asset Agreement pursuant to Section 7.23(a). If the Asset Entity does intend to exercise such option, the Issuer shall give the Servicer thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof. If any Asset Entity fails to renew an Asset Agreement which is required to be renewed pursuant to this Section 7.23(b), such Asset Entity hereby grants to each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer a power of attorney to renew such Asset Agreement on behalf of such Asset Entity.

(c)    Notice of Default. If any of the Asset Entities shall have or receive any written notice that any Asset Agreement Default has occurred, then the Issuer shall immediately notify the Indenture Trustee and Servicer in writing of the same and immediately deliver to the Indenture Trustee and Servicer a true and complete copy of each such notice. Further, the Issuer shall provide such documents and information as the Indenture Trustee and Servicer shall reasonably request concerning the Asset Agreement Default.

(d)    The Indenture Trustee’s and Servicer’s Right to Cure. Each Obligor agrees that if any Asset Agreement Default shall occur and be continuing, or if any Site Owner or third party asserts in writing that an Asset Agreement Default has occurred (whether or not the Obligors question or deny such assertion), then, subject to (i) the terms and conditions of such Asset Agreement, and (ii) the Asset Entities’ right to terminate, sell or assign such Asset Agreement in accordance with Section 7.23(a), the Servicer, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Issuer, unless the Servicer reasonably determines that a shorter period (or no period) of notice is necessary to protect the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the Asset Agreement, may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that the Servicer deems reasonably necessary, including (i) performance or attempted performance of the applicable Asset Entity’s obligations under such Asset Agreement, (ii) curing or attempting to cure any actual or purported Asset Agreement Default, (iii) mitigating or attempting to mitigate any damages or consequences of the same and (iv) entry upon such Tenant Site for any or all of such purposes (but limited to the existing rights of the Obligors). Upon the Indenture Trustee’s or the Servicer’s reasonable request, the Issuer shall submit satisfactory evidence of payment or performance of any of its obligations under each Asset Agreement. The Indenture Trustee or the Servicer may pay and expend such sums of money as the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable for any such purpose, and the Issuer shall pay to the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable, within five (5) Business Days of the written demand of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer all such sums so paid or expended by the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, together with interest thereon from the date of expenditure at the rate provided for Servicing Advances in the Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.24    Rule 144A Information. So long as any of the Notes are Outstanding, and the Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Noteholder, the Issuer shall promptly furnish at such Noteholder’s expense to such Holder, and the prospective purchasers designated by such Holder, Rule 144A Information in order to permit compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of such Notes by such Holder. The Issuer shall provide a copy of any Rule 144A Information furnished to a Noteholder other than the Depositary to the Depositary with a request that participants in the Depositary forward such information to Note Owners.

 

79


Section 7.25    Notice of Events of Default. The Issuer shall give the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Rating Agencies prompt written notice of each Default of which it obtains Knowledge and each Event of Default and the Indenture Trustee and Servicer notice of each default on the part of any party to the other Transaction Documents with respect to any of the provisions thereof of which the Issuer has Knowledge.

Section 7.26    [Reserved]

Section 7.27    Continuation of Ratings. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Issuer shall, and shall cause the Asset Entities to, (i) provide the Rating Agencies at their request with information, to the extent reasonably obtainable by the Issuer or the Asset Entities, and take all reasonable action necessary to enable the Rating Agencies to monitor the credit ratings of the Notes, and (ii) pay such ongoing fees of the Rating Agencies as they may reasonably request to monitor their respective ratings of the Notes.

Section 7.28    The Indenture Trustee and Servicer’s Expenses. The Issuer shall pay, on demand by the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Manager or the Servicer, all reasonable third party expenses, charges, costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the negotiation, documentation, closing, administration, servicing, enforcement, interpretation, and collection of the Notes and the Transaction Documents, and in the preservation and protection of the Indenture Trustee’s rights hereunder and thereunder. Without limitation the Issuer shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Manager and the Servicer in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (or any law succeeding or replacing any of the same) involving the Obligors, the Manager (provided that the Manager is an Affiliate of the Obligors) or the Guarantor.

Section 7.29    Disposition of Tenant Site Assets; Reinvestment of Disposition Proceeds.

(a)     The Asset Entities will not dispose or otherwise transfer Tenant Site Assets, except as expressly permitted in this Section 7.29 or Section 7.30. Prior to the second anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, the Asset Entities will not dispose of any Tenant Site Assets except the Asset Entities may: (i) in each period of twelve (12) months commencing with the Initial Closing Date, dispose of Tenant Site Assets having an aggregate Allocated Note Amount less than or equal to $5 million for any reason, (ii) in each period of twelve (12) months commencing with the Initial Closing Date, dispose of Tenant Site Assets having an aggregate Allocated Note Amount less than or equal to $5 million in connection with a Site Owner’s buyout of a Tenant Site Asset, or (iii) dispose of a Tenant Site Asset (1) if required in the Manager’s reasonable judgment, in order to cure a breach of a representation, warranty or other default with respect to such Tenant Site Asset or (2) in compliance with Section 7.04(c). From and after the second anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, the Asset Entities may dispose (including by assignment) of Tenant Site Assets at any time without regard to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence; provided that (i) during a Special Servicing Period, no Tenant Site Asset dispositions may be made without the Servicer’s consent, (ii) written notice to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee of such transaction is provided not later than thirty (30) days prior to such disposition and (iii) if (1) the aggregate Allocated Note Amount of all Tenant Site

 

80


Assets (other than Tenant Site Assets disposed of in connection with a disposition to address a Site Owner Imposition) affected by the proposed disposition and all prior dispositions would exceed 5.0% of the aggregate initial principal balance of all Classes of Notes then outstanding or (2) after giving effect to such disposition, the Tenant Quality Tests would not be satisfied, the Issuer shall have provided notice to the Rating Agencies with respect thereto.

(b)    In connection with each disposition of a Tenant Site Asset, the Issuer shall prepay the Notes in accordance with Section 2.09(b) in an amount equal to the Release Price, together with any applicable Prepayment Consideration, provided that in any twelve (12) month period dispositions of Tenant Site Assets having an aggregate Allocated Note Amount of up to $5 million may be made without any prepayment if (1) the proceeds from the disposition of such Tenant Site Assets, together with any concurrent cash capital contribution received by the Issuer in connection with such disposition, are in an amount equal to or greater than 125% of the Allocated Note Amount of such Tenant Site Assets, (2) the Issuer delivers a notice to the Servicer that the net cash proceeds of such disposition, together with any concurrent cash capital contribution received by the Issuer in connection with such disposition, will be deposited into a non-interest bearing segregated account with the Indenture Trustee (the “Liquidated Site Replacement Account”) and within six (6) months will be used by an Asset Entity to acquire Tenant Site Assets and (3) the pro forma DSCR following the disposition is not less than the DSCR immediately prior thereto after giving pro forma effect to the receipt of proceeds (and pro forma application of such proceeds to repay Notes) in connection with such disposition. Funds deposited in the Liquidated Site Replacement Account pursuant to this Section 7.29(b) or Section 7.06 may be used by the Asset Entities to acquire Tenant Site Assets, provided that the Tenant Site Assets so acquired meet the requirements described in clauses (ii) through (vi) of Section 7.30, as if the acquired Tenant Site Assets were Replacement Tenant Site Assets. Any funds remaining in the Liquidated Site Replacement Account on the first Payment Date falling more than six (6) months after the date of deposit of such funds will be withdrawn by the Indenture Trustee on such Payment Date and applied to prepay the Notes pursuant to Section 2.09(b). Withdrawals of funds deposited into the Liquidated Site Replacement Account shall be deemed to be made on a “first in, first out” basis for purposes of determining the length of time that such funds have been on deposit in such account.

(c)    In connection with any disposition permitted by this Section 7.29, the Manager shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that any applicable conditions to such disposition have been (or will concurrently therewith be) satisfied not later than five (5) days prior to such disposition and the Indenture Trustee shall thereupon take such actions to release any security interests on the Collateral associated with the disposed Tenant Site Assets as the Issuer may reasonably request in writing.

(d)    The rights set forth in this Section 7.29 shall be in addition to the rights related to substitutions of Tenant Site Assets set forth in Section 7.30. Prior to the first such disposition of Tenant Site Assets, the Issuer will establish the Liquidated Site Replacement Account with the Indenture Trustee.

(e)    For purposes of this Section 7.29, the Issuer, in lieu of disposing individual Tenant Site Assets, may dispose of all, but not less than all, of the equity interests of an Asset Entity; provided that for purposes of this Section 7.29, the designation of all of the

 

81


Tenant Site Assets owned by such Asset Entity otherwise would satisfy the requirements of Section 7.29(a) and (b) and the Issuer complies with the provisions thereof as if it had disposed of such Tenant Site Assets individually.

Section 7.30    Tenant Site Asset Substitution. The Asset Entities shall not replace Tenant Site Assets with Replacement Tenant Site Assets except as expressly permitted by this Section 7.30. At any time prior to the earliest Anticipated Repayment Date for any Series of Notes then Outstanding, the Asset Entities may substitute a new Tenant Site Asset or Tenant Site Assets (each a “Replacement Tenant Site Asset”) for one or more of the Tenant Site Assets then owned by an Asset Entity; provided that as certified to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by the Manager, (i) the Allocated Note Amounts of the Replacement Tenant Site Assets substituted during any calendar year (other than those replaced to cure a default or address a Site Owner Imposition as provided for pursuant to Section 7.04(c)(iii)) do not in the aggregate exceed 5.0% of the aggregate Class Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes, with any unused portion of such limit permitted to be carried over into subsequent years subject to a carryover limit of 25.0% of the aggregate Class Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes, (ii)(w) after giving effect to the substitution each of the Tenant Quality Tests is satisfied, (x) if the Replacement Tenant Site Assets are Prepaid Sites, the related Asset Agreements have terms (including all available extensions) that expire no earlier that the latest Anticipated Repayment Date of any Series of Notes then Outstanding; (y) the Maintenance Capital Expenditures for the Replacement Tenant Site Assets are not materially greater than the Maintenance Capital Expenditures for the replaced Tenant Site Assets, in each case, unless prior written notice is provided to the Rating Agencies and (z) if during a Special Servicing Period, the Servicer consents to such substitution, (iii) after the substitution the pro forma DSCR shall be at least equal to the DSCR as of the date immediately preceding the substitution, (iv) the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer will have received such legal opinions as may be reasonably requested, (v) the Issuer shall, or shall have caused the applicable Asset Entity to, have reimbursed the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer for all third party costs and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer in relation to such substitution, (vi) the Issuer represents that it has conducted its customary environmental review with respect to such Replacement Tenant Site Asset and that, based upon such review, it is not aware of any material environmental liabilities affecting such Replacement Tenant Site Asset and (vii) if any such Replacement Tenant Site Asset Site is a Mortgaged Tenant Site Asset, the Issuer provides to the Indenture Trustee with respect thereto a Deed of Trust and a Title Policy with respect thereto; provided that the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall have no obligation to review or verify the contents of such documents. In connection with any substitution permitted by this Section 7.30, the Manager shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that any applicable conditions to such substitution have been (or will concurrently therewith be) satisfied and that such substitution is authorized and permitted by the terms of the Indenture and the Indenture Trustee shall thereupon take such actions to release any security interests on the Collateral associated with the substituted Tenant Site Assets as the Issuer may reasonably request in writing.

Section 7.31    Conversions of Tenant Site Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Asset Entities may convert any Prepaid Site to a Fee Asset at any time subject to compliance with Section 7.30(ii)(z) and (iii) through (vii). No such conversion will be counted towards the percentage limitation contained in clause (i) of Section 7.30.

 

82


Section 7.32    Environmental Remediation. Each Asset Entity agrees to comply with all applicable Environmental Laws, except where such noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Asset Entity agrees to commence, within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as may be required by law) after written demand by the Servicer and diligently prosecute to completion any Remedial Work to the extent required by it under applicable Environmental Laws (it being understood that such Asset Entity is not obligated to perform any such Remedial Work that a Site Owner, a Tenant or third party is contractually or legally obligated to perform). If an Asset Entity fails to commence and diligently pursue to completion any Remedial Work, the Servicer may (but will not be obligated to), upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Issuer of its intention to do so, cause such Remedial Work to be performed to the extent required under Environmental Laws. If requested by the Servicer in connection with any Remedial Work required under this Section 7.32 with respect to any Tenant Site Asset that is projected to cost in excess of $500,000, the applicable Asset Entity agrees to cause such Remedial Work to be performed by licensed contractors, approved in advance by the Servicer, such approval to not be unreasonably withheld. The Obligors agree to pay or reimburse the Servicer for all expenses reasonably incurred by the Servicer in connection with (a) monitoring, reviewing or performing such Remedial Work, (b) investigating potential environmental claims against the Asset Entities or (c) participating in any legal or administrative proceeding on behalf of an Obligor concerning any applicable Environmental Law.

Section 7.33    Limitation on Certain Issuances and Transfers. The Issuer shall not issue any Series of Tax Restricted Notes, permit the issuance or transfer of any limited liability company interests of the Issuer or permit the issuance or transfer of any other interest in the Issuer that may be treated as equity of the Issuer if after giving effect thereto the sum of (a) the aggregate maximum number of beneficial holders for all Series and Classes of Tax Restricted Notes (including the Tax Restricted Notes to be issued), (b) the number of beneficial holders of limited liability company interests of the Issuer and (c) the number of beneficial holders of other interests that may be treated as equity of the Issuer, would exceed 90. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.33 shall prohibit or restrict the sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of all or any part of, or the issuance of, any limited liability company or other interest in the member of the Guarantor or in any Person which directly or indirectly owns any limited liability company or other interest in the member of any Guarantor. For purposes of this Section 7.33, the number of Persons considered beneficial holders of interests in an Issuer shall be the number of Persons that would be considered partners in such Issuer with respect to such interests under the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h) if such interests in such Issuer were treated as equity of such Issuer.

Section 7.34    Tax Status. Each of the Issuer and the Asset Entities shall maintain its status as an entity not treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation.

Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Tenant Site Assets shall remain subject to the Deeds of Trust to secure payment of sums secured by the Deeds of Trust and not previously recovered.

(d)    Any amounts recovered with respect to the Collateral and the proceeds from any of the foregoing for the Notes and other Obligations after an Event of Default shall be applied by the Indenture Trustee after payment of any fees, costs, indemnities and expenses incurred by or due and owing to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Backup Manager, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Article V of this Indenture.

(a)    The Noteholders (or, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, the Outstanding Note Owners) of the Controlling Class whose Notes represent more than 50% of the related Outstanding Class Principal Balance shall be entitled to select a representative (the “Controlling Class Representative”) having the rights and powers specified in the Servicing Agreement and this Indenture (including those specified in Section 10.06) or to replace an existing Controlling Class Representative. Upon (i) the receipt by the Indenture Trustee of written requests for the selection of a Controlling Class Representative from the Noteholders (or, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, the Note Owners) representing more than 50% of the Outstanding Class Principal Balance of the Controlling Class, (ii) the resignation or removal of the Person acting as Controlling Class Representative or (iii) a determination by the Indenture Trustee that the Controlling Class has changed, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer, Servicer and the Noteholders (and, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, to the extent actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or identified thereto by the Depositary, at the expense of the Noteholder or Note Owner requesting information with respect to clause (i) and clause (iii) above if the Depositary charges a fee for such identification, the Note Owners) of the Controlling Class that they may select a Controlling Class Representative. Such notice shall set forth the process established by the Indenture Trustee for selecting a Controlling Class Representative. No appointment of any Person as a Controlling Class Representative shall be

 

94


effective until such Person provides the Indenture Trustee with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, that it will keep confidential all information received by it as Controlling Class Representative hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Notes, the Tenant Site Assets or the Servicing Agreement, an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such Person with whom the parties to the Servicing Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers). No Affiliate of the Issuer may act as, or vote its Notes in the selection of, the Controlling Class Representative.

(b)    Within ten (10) Business Days (or as soon thereafter as practicable if the Controlling Class consists of Book-Entry Notes) of any change in the identity of the Controlling Class Representative of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, of the Controlling Class and the Servicer a notice setting forth the identity of the new Controlling Class Representative and a list of each Noteholder (or, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, to the extent actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or identified thereto by the Depositary or the DTC Participants, each Note Owner) of the Controlling Class, including, in each case, names and addresses. With respect to such information, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on information provided to it by the Noteholders (or, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, subject to Section 2.06, by the Depositary or the Note Owners) of such Notes, and the Servicer shall be entitled to rely on such information provided by the Indenture Trustee with respect to any obligation or right hereunder that the Servicer may have to deliver information or otherwise communicate with the Controlling Class Representative or any of the Noteholders (or, if applicable, Note Owners) of the Controlling Class. In addition to the foregoing, within two (2) Business Days of the selection, resignation or removal of a Controlling Class Representative, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the parties to this Indenture of such event.

(c)    A Controlling Class Representative may at any time resign as such by giving written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and to each Noteholder (or, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, each Note Owner) of the Controlling Class. The Noteholders (or, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, the Note Owners) of the Controlling Class whose Notes represent more than 50% of the Outstanding Class Principal Balance of the Controlling Class shall be entitled to remove any existing Controlling Class Representative by giving written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and to such existing Controlling Class Representative.

(d)    Once a Controlling Class Representative has been selected pursuant to this Section 10.05, each of the parties to the Servicing Agreement and each Noteholder (or Note Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless a majority of the Noteholders (or, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, the Note Owners) of the Controlling Class whose Notes represent more than 50% of the Outstanding Class Principal Balance of the Controlling Class, or such Controlling Class Representative, as applicable, shall have notified the Indenture Trustee and each other party to the Servicing Agreement and each Noteholder (or, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, Note Owner) of the Controlling Class, in writing, of the resignation or removal of such Controlling Class Representative.

 

95


(e)    Any and all expenses of the Controlling Class Representative shall be borne by the Noteholders (or, if applicable, the Note Owners) of the Controlling Class, pro rata according to their respective Percentage Interests in such Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim is made against the Controlling Class Representative by an Obligor with respect to the Servicing Agreement or the Notes, the Controlling Class Representative shall immediately notify the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer, whereupon (if the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee is also a named party to the same action and, in the sole judgment of the Servicer, (i) the Controlling Class Representative had acted in good faith, without gross negligence or willful misconduct, with regard to the particular matter at issue, and (ii) there is no potential for the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee to be an adverse party in such action as regards the Controlling Class Representative) the Servicer on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and for the benefit of the Noteholders shall, subject to the Servicing Agreement, assume the defense of any such claim against the Controlling Class Representative (with any costs incurred in connection therewith being deemed to be reimbursable Additional Issuer Expenses).

Section 10.06    Certain Rights and Powers of the Controlling Class Representative.

(a)    At any time that the Servicer proposes to direct the Indenture Trustee to transfer the ownership of a Tenant Site Asset or the ownership of the direct or indirect equity interests of any of the Obligors, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to advise the Servicer with respect to such transfer, and notwithstanding anything in any other Section of this Indenture to the contrary, but in all cases subject to Section 10.06(b), the Servicer shall not be permitted to take such action if the Controlling Class Representative has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days of having been notified thereof and having been provided with information with respect thereto reasonably requested no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after notice thereof; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Controlling Class Representative’s approval will be deemed to have been given.

If the Controlling Class Representative affirmatively approves or is deemed to have approved in writing such a request, the Servicer shall implement the action for which approval was sought. If the Controlling Class Representative disapproves of such a request within the ten (10) Business Day period referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Servicer must (unless it withdraws the request) revise the request and deliver to the Controlling Class Representative a revised request promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days after such disapproval. The Servicer shall be required to implement the action for which approval was most recently requested (unless such request was withdrawn by the Servicer) upon the earlier of (x) the failure of the Controlling Class Representative to disapprove a request within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt thereof and (y) (1) the passage of sixty (60) days following the Servicer’s delivery of its initial request to the Controlling Class Representative and (2) the determination by the Servicer in its reasonable good faith judgment that the failure to implement the most recently requested action would violate the Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Servicer shall not have any right or obligation to consult with or to seek or obtain consent or approval from any Controlling Class Representative prior to acting, and provisions of the Servicing Agreement

 

96


requiring such shall be of no effect, during the period prior to the initial selection of a Controlling Class Representative and, if any Controlling Class Representative resigns or is removed, during the period following such resignation or removal until a replacement is selected and (ii) no advice, direction or objection from or by the Controlling Class Representative, as contemplated by Section 10.06(a), may (A) require or cause the Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of the Notes or Transaction Documents or any other Section of the Servicing Agreement, including the Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (B) expose the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents or partners, or the Indenture Trustee, to any material claim, suit or liability, or (C) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s responsibilities under the Servicing Agreement. In addition, the Controlling Class Representative may not prevent the Servicer from transferring the ownership of a Tenant Site Asset or the ownership of any of the direct or indirect equity interests of any of the Obligors (including by way of foreclosure on the direct or indirect equity interests of the Obligors) if any Advance is outstanding and the Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such foreclosure would be in the best interest of the Noteholders (taken as a whole).

The Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability to the Noteholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative shall not be protected against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties under the Servicing Agreement. Each Noteholder and Note Owner acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Notes or interest therein, that the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Noteholders and Note Owners of one or more Classes of Notes, that the Controlling Class Representative may act solely in the interests of the Noteholders and Note Owners of the Controlling Class, that the Controlling Class Representative does not have any duties to the Noteholders and Note Owners of any Class of Notes other than the Controlling Class, that the Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor the interests of the Noteholders and Note Owners of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Noteholders and Note Owners of one or more other Classes of Notes, that the Controlling Class Representative shall not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Controlling Class and that the Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Noteholder may take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Representative for having so acted or against any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

Section 10.07    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02, the Issuer covenants that if there is an Event of Default described in Section 10.01(a), the Issuer shall pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for the aggregate Outstanding Class Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the

 

97


relevant Notes and in addition thereto all other Obligations, including 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 Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel and other amounts due and owing to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 11.05.

(b)    Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02 and Section 15.16, in case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a 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 Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(c)    Subject to the provisions of Section 15.16, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 10.08, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or by law.

(d)    In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes, proceedings under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or their property or such other obligor, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the Outstanding Class Principal Balance shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

(i)    to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of Notes, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other amounts due and owing to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 11.05 and all other amounts due and owing to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

 

98


(ii)    unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf and at the direction of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

(iii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to pay all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

(iv)    to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, their creditors and its property;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other amounts due and owing to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 11.05 and all other amounts due and owing to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

(e)    Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any Indenture Supplement shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any such Noteholder in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

(f)    Subject to the provisions of Section 15.16, all rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture or in any Indenture Supplement, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee may be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements, advances, amounts owed to and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the benefit of the Noteholders.

(g)    In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

 

99


Section 10.08    Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 10.02, Section 10.09, and Section 15.16):

(i)    institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes, this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document monies adjudged due;

(ii)    institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement with respect to the Trust Estate;

(iii)    exercise any and all rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law of any relevant jurisdiction or in equity and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders;

(iv)    sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;

(v)    without notice to the Issuer, except as required by law and as otherwise provided in this Indenture, and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Collateral against the Obligations or any part thereof; and

(vi)    demand, collect, take possession of, receive, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral (or any portion thereof) as the Indenture Trustee may determine in its sole discretion.

Section 10.09    Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 10.02 following an Event of Default, and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, with the consent of Noteholders representing more than 50% of the aggregate Outstanding Class Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate and apply proceeds as if there had been no declaration of acceleration. It is the desire of the Issuer and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of all Outstanding Obligations, including the Outstanding Class Principal Balance of and interest on all Classes of Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, at the Issuer’s expense, but need not, obtain and shall be protected in relying upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of international reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

 

100


Section 10.10    Limitation of Suits. Subject to the provisions of Section 15.16, no Noteholder shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement 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 Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b)    Noteholders by an Affirmative Direction have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(c)    such Holder or Holders has offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

(d)    the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

(e)    no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by Noteholders representing more than 50% of the aggregate Outstanding Class Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes.

It is understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, except in the manner provided in this Indenture.

In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Class Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.10, the Indenture Trustee shall not take any action or permit any action to be taken that is inconsistent with Section 15.16.

Section 10.11    Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement but subject to the provisions of Article V, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 10.12    Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any

 

101


reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 10.13    Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided herein, no right or remedy conferred in this Indenture, in any Indenture Supplement or in any other Transaction Document upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders 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, in any Indenture Supplement or in any other Transaction Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, in any Indenture Supplement, or in any other Transaction Document or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 10.14    Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article X or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 10.15    Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 10.02 as may be modified by any Indenture Supplement, Noteholders representing more than 50% of the aggregate Outstanding Class Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (i) a Default (a) in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be amended, supplemented or modified without the consent of each Noteholder and (ii) before any such waiver may be effective, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer must receive any reimbursement then due or payable in respect of unreimbursed Advances (including Advance Interest thereon) or any other amounts then due to the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (including outstanding Advances, Advance Interest, unpaid Additional Issuer Expenses, and all unpaid fees, expenses, and indemnification due to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 10.16    Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s 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 any Indenture Supplement, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture

 

102


Trustee, the filing by any party litigant (other than the Issuer) in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any party litigant (other than the Issuer) in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant (other than the Issuer); but the provisions of this Section 10.16 as may be modified by any Indenture Supplement shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, representing more than 10% of the aggregate Outstanding Class Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal balance of any Note or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement.

Section 10.17    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Transaction Document; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted in this Indenture to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 10.18    Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Transaction Document shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Transaction Document. No rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the Assets of the Issuer.

Section 10.19    Waiver. The Issuer hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, presentment, demand, protest or any notice (except as required by this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents) of any kind in connection with this Indenture or the Collateral. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or any other intended disposition thereof shall be reasonable and sufficient notice to the Issuer within the meaning of the UCC (to the extent that the UCC is applicable).

ARTICLE XI

103


or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. If an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement and any other Transaction Document, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. Any permissive right of the Indenture Trustee contained in this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement and any other Transaction Document shall not be construed as a duty. The Indenture Trustee shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Indenture Trustee.

(b)    Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement and any other Transaction Document, the Indenture Trustee shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement, or any other Transaction Document in a material manner, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the person who provided such instrument and request that such person correct such instrument. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Issuer, the Asset Entities, the Manager, the Servicer, any actual or prospective Noteholder or Note Owner or any Rating Agency, and accepted by the Indenture Trustee in good faith, pursuant to this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for recomputing, recalculating or verifying any information provided by the Servicer or Manager pertaining to any report, distribution statement or officer’s certificate.

(c)    No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i)    Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement against the Indenture Trustee.

(ii)    In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement.

 

104

(v)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or other information unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or other information or (2) written notice of such Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or other information referring to the Notes, this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement shall have been received by a Responsible Officer in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement.

105


(vii)    None of the provisions contained in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Indenture Trustee shall be successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement.

(iv)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement;

(v)    prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Notes entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require an indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, in its sole discretion, against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action;

(vi)    the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and may perform any its duties hereunder, either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, nominees or custodians, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney, nominee or custodian appointed by the Indenture Trustee with

(vii)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission of the Servicer (unless, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, it is acting as Servicer), the Manager or any other Person (other than the Indenture Trustee in each of its roles hereunder and in the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, as Securities Intermediary under the Cash Management Agreement and as Backup Manager under the Backup Management Agreement);

(viii)    the Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction on transfer imposed under Article II under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any Note or any interest therein, other than to accept delivery of the certification(s) or Opinions of Counsel described in said Article applicable with respect to changes in registration or record ownership of Notes in the Note Register and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance with the express requirements of this Indenture; and the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar shall have no liability for transfers, including transfers made through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary or between or among DTC Participants or Note Owners of the Notes, made in violation of applicable restrictions except for its failure to perform its express duties in connection with changes in registration or record ownership in the Note Register;

(xii)    the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture shall also be afforded to the Indenture Trustee under the other Transaction Documents; and

 

108


(xiii)    whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement hereto the Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary (in good faith) that a matter be proved or established as a matter of fact prior to taking or suffering any action or refraining from taking any action, the Indenture Trustee may require a certificate from an Executive Officer of the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate.

Section 11.03    Indenture Trustees Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee (i) shall not be responsible for, and makes no representation, as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement, the Collateral or the Notes and (ii) shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, or responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

Section 11.04    Indenture Trustee May Own Notes. The Indenture Trustee (in its individual or any other capacity) or any of its respective Affiliates may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with (except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Noteholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee or one of its Affiliates, as the case may be.

Section 11.05    Fees and Expenses of Indenture Trustee; Indemnification of the Indenture Trustee.

(a)    On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Collection Account, prior to any payments to be made therefrom on such date, and (i) reimburse itself expenses incurred and (ii) pay to itself all of the Indenture Trustee Fee and such other fees pursuant to the Indenture Trustee’s fee schedule, earned in respect of the Notes through the end of the then most recently ended Interest Accrual Period as compensation for all services rendered by the Indenture Trustee hereunder, and in accordance with Section 5.01(a). The Indenture Trustee Fee shall be an amount equal to $27,000 per annum payable monthly in advance.

(b)    The Indenture Trustee and any of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless out of the funds on deposit in the Accounts for and against any loss, liability, claim or expense (including costs and expenses of litigation, and of investigation, reasonable counsel’s fees and expenses, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) arising out of, or incurred in connection with, this Indenture, the Notes (unless, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, it incurs any such expense or liability in the capacity of successor servicer, in which case such expense or liability will be reimbursable thereto in the same manner as it would be for any other Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Agreement) or any act or omission of the Indenture Trustee relating to the exercise and performance of any of the rights and duties of the Indenture Trustee hereunder; provided, however, that none of the Indenture Trustee or any of the other above specified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 11.05(b) for any expense that constitutes (1) allocable overhead, such as costs for office space, office equipment, supplies and related expenses, employee salaries and related expenses and similar internal costs and expenses, (2) any loss, liability, damage, claim or expense specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (3) any loss, liability, damage, claim or

 

109


expense incurred by reason of any breach on the part of the Indenture Trustee of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of, or reckless disregard of, such Person’s obligations and duties hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee and its Affiliates from and against any liability (including for taxes, penalties or interest asserted by any taxing jurisdiction) arising from any failure to withhold taxes from amounts payable in respect of payments from the Collection Account. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Issuer is prejudiced thereby. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. To the extent the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) renders services or incurs expenses after an Event of Default specified in Section 10.01(f) or Section 10.01(g), the compensation for services and expenses incurred by it are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect. The Indenture Trustee (for itself and on behalf of the Servicer) shall have a lien on the Collateral, as governed by this Indenture, to secure the obligations of the Issuer under this Section 11.05.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(d)    This Section 11.05 shall survive the discharge or termination of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee as regards rights and obligations prior to such discharge, termination, resignation or removal.

Section 11.06    Eligibility Requirements for Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee hereunder shall not be an Affiliate of the Servicer (unless the Indenture Trustee is a successor servicer) or any Asset Entity (unless the Indenture Trustee becomes an Affiliate through any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Transaction Documents) and shall at all times be a corporation, bank, trust company or association that: (i) is organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers; (ii) has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000; and (iii) is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation, bank, trust company or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation, bank, trust company or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Furthermore, the Indenture Trustee shall at all times maintain (or shall have caused to have been appointed a fiscal agent that at all times maintains) a long-term unsecured debt rating of no less than BBB- from Fitch and Baa3 from Moody’s (or such lower rating with respect to which the Indenture Trustee shall have provided prior written notice to Fitch). The corporation, bank, trust company or association serving as Indenture Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with

 

110


the Asset Entities, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates but, except to the extent permitted or required by the Servicing Agreement, shall not be an “Affiliate” (as such term is defined in Section III of PTE 2000-58) of the Servicer, any sub-servicer, any Initial Purchaser, any Placement Agent, the Issuer and the Asset Entities or any “Affiliate” (as such term is defined in Section III of PTE 2000-58) of any such Persons.

Section 11.07    Resignation and Removal of Indenture Trustee.

(a)    The Indenture Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from its obligations and duties created hereunder with respect to one or more or all Series of Notes by giving not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof to the other parties to this Indenture, the Servicer and all of the Noteholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to promptly appoint a successor indenture trustee meeting the eligibility requirements of Section 11.06 by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Indenture Trustee and to the successor indenture trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the other parties to this Indenture, the Servicer and to the Noteholders by the Issuer. If no successor indenture trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor indenture trustee.

(b)    If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer, the Manager or the Servicer, or if at any time the Indenture Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or if the Indenture Trustee’s continuing to act in such capacity would (as confirmed in writing to the Issuer by the Rating Agencies) result in the qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any Class of Notes rated by such Rating Agency (or the placing of such Class of Notes on negative credit watch or ratings outlook negative status in contemplation of any such action with respect thereto), then the Issuer, or the Noteholders entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights, may remove the Indenture Trustee and appoint a successor indenture trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee so removed and to the successor indenture trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the other parties to this Indenture, the Servicer and the Noteholders by the Issuer.

(c)    Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor indenture trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 11.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor indenture trustee as provided in Section 11.08.

Section 11.08    Successor Indenture Trustee.

(a)    Any successor indenture trustee appointed as provided in Section 11.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer, the Manager, the Servicer and its

 

111


predecessor indenture trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor indenture trustee shall become effective and such successor indenture trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all of the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as indenture trustee herein. The predecessor indenture trustee shall deliver to the successor indenture trustee all documents relating to the Notes held by it hereunder, and the Issuer, the Servicer and the predecessor indenture trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor indenture trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations, and to enable the successor indenture trustee to perform its obligations hereunder.

(b)    No successor indenture trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 11.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor indenture trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.06.

(c)    Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor indenture trustee as provided in this Section 11.08, such successor indenture trustee shall mail notice of the succession of such indenture trustee hereunder to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Noteholders.

Section 11.09    Merger or Consolidation of Indenture Trustee. Any entity into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder; provided that such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 11.10    Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any of the Notes or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Indenture Trustee to act as co-indenture trustee or co-indenture trustees, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, or separate indenture trustee or separate indenture trustees, of the Notes, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Notes, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-indenture trustee or separate indenture trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor indenture trustee under Section 11.06, and no notice to holders of Notes of the appointment of co-indenture trustee(s) or separate indenture trustee(s) shall be required under Section 11.08.

 

112


(b)    In the case of any appointment of a co-indenture trustee or separate indenture trustee pursuant to this Section 11.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate indenture trustee or co-indenture trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Indenture Trustee hereunder or when acting as successor servicer under the Servicing Agreement), the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate indenture trustee or co-indenture trustee solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee.

(c)    Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate indenture trustees and co-indenture trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate indenture trustee or co-indenture trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article XI. Each separate indenture trustee and co-indenture trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all of the provisions of this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

(d)    Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement on its behalf and in its name. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or inaction of any such trustee or co-trustee. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

(e)    The appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this Section 11.10 shall not relieve the Indenture Trustee of its duties and responsibilities hereunder.

Section 11.11    Access to Certain Information.

(a)    The Indenture Trustee shall afford to the Issuer, any Initial Purchasers, Placement Agents, the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative and each Rating Agency and any banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Noteholder or Note Owner, access to any documentation regarding the Notes. Such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the Corporate Trust Office; provided, however, that any such examination permitted under this Section 11.11 will be conducted in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the Indenture Trustee’s normal operations or customer and employee relations.

 

113


(b)    The Indenture Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and, upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours, shall make available, or cause to be made available, for review by the Issuer, the Rating Agencies, and the Controlling Class Representative originals or copies of the following items (to the extent that such items were prepared by or delivered to the Indenture Trustee): (i) this Indenture, and any applicable Indenture Supplements and any amendments and exhibits hereto or thereto; (ii) the Servicing Agreement, each sub-servicing agreement delivered to the Indenture Trustee since the Closing Date and any amendments and exhibits thereto; (iii) all Indenture Trustee Reports actually delivered or otherwise made available to Noteholders pursuant to Section 11.11(d) since the Closing Date; and (iv) any other information in the possession of the Indenture Trustee that may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of subsection (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Indenture Trustee shall provide, or cause to be provided, or make available copies of any and all of the foregoing items to any of the Persons set forth in the previous sentence promptly following request therefor by such Person; provided, however, that except in the case of the Rating Agencies, the Indenture Trustee shall be permitted to require payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such copies.

(c)    Upon reasonable advance notice and at the expense of the Issuer, Note Owner, Controlling Class Representative or Person identified to the Indenture Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Note or an interest therein (a “Requesting Party”), the Indenture Trustee, subject to the succeeding paragraph, shall make available to such Requesting Party electronic copies of (i) this Indenture; (ii) the Indenture Supplement; (iii) the Cash Management Agreement; (iv) the Management Agreement; (v) the Backup Management Agreement; (vi) the HoldCo Guaranty; (vii) the Servicing Agreement; and (viii) each Indenture Trustee Report delivered to Noteholders, in each case, to the extent delivered to the Indenture Trustee; provided that the Requesting Party furnish to the Indenture Trustee a written certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D as to the effect that (x) in the case of a Noteholder, such Person or entity will keep such information confidential (except that any Noteholder may provide any such information obtained by it to any other person or entity that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Note or interest therein; provided that such other person or entity confirms to such Noteholder in writing such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and agrees to keep such information confidential); (y) in the case of a Note Owner, such person or entity is a beneficial owner of Notes held in book-entry form and will keep such information confidential (except that such Note Owner may provide such information to any other Person or entity that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Note or interest therein; provided that such other person or entity confirms to such Note Owner in writing such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and agrees to keep such information confidential) and (z) in the case of a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Note or an interest therein, such person or entity is a bona fide prospective purchaser of a Note or an interest therein, is requesting the information for use in evaluating a possible investment in Notes and will keep such information confidential.

(d)    Based solely on information provided in the Manager Reports and Servicing Reports and delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall prepare and make available on each Payment Date to each Noteholder a statement (“Indenture Trustee Report”) substantially in the form of Exhibit I and specifying the payments made on such Payment Date and shall also make available to any Requesting Party an electronic file detailing

 

114


information regarding the performance of the Tenant Site Assets and amounts on deposit in, and withdrawn from, each Site Acquisition Account for the related Collection Period, in each case, to the extent such information is delivered to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer; provided that the first Indenture Trustee Report delivered after the date hereof will set forth the fair value of the LLC Interest (as determined by the Parent) as of the Closing Date as a percentage of the sum of the fair value of the ABS Interests and as a dollar amount as of the Closing Date, together with a description of any changes in the methodology or inputs and assumptions used to calculate the fair value, as described in “Credit Risk Retention” of the Offering Memorandum for the Series 2017-1 Notes (as notified to the Trustee by the Issuer). The Indenture Trustee shall make available each Indenture Trustee Report and each Servicing Report delivered by the Servicer and certain other information each month on its website, which will initially be located at www.wilmingtontrustconnect.com. The manner in which notices and other communications are conveyed by DTC to DTC Participants, and by DTC Participants to the Note Owners, will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. The Servicer and the Indenture Trustee are required to recognize as Noteholders only those persons in whose names the Notes are registered on the books and records of the Note Registrar.

(e)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for providing or disseminating information in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 11.12    Servicer to Act for Indenture Trustee. Indenture Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer the power and authority to perform on its behalf the duties, rights and remedies granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to the extent such duties, rights and remedies relate to the servicing and administration of the Tenant Site Assets and related Collateral, and the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the Servicer’s exercise of such duties, rights and remedies; provided that such grant shall not obligate the Servicer to perform any such duties, rights and remedies (other than those that the Servicer has expressly agreed to perform pursuant to the Transaction Documents).

In determining whether a proposed amendment would adversely affect any Class of Notes, the Indenture Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be fully protected in relying on a certificate of an Executive Officer of the Issuer.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of the Noteholders under this Section 13.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed indenture supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any indenture supplement pursuant to this Section 13.02, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes and the Servicer a copy of such indenture supplement. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such indenture supplement.

Section 13.03    Execution of Indenture Supplements. In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any indenture supplement permitted by this Article XIII or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and, subject to Section 11.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such indenture supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such indenture supplement have been satisfied. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to (and with respect to the Servicer shall not, except as permitted by the Servicing Agreement), enter into any such indenture supplement that affects the Indenture Trustee’s (or with respect to the Servicer, the Servicer’s) own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 13.04    Effect of Indenture Supplement. Upon the execution of any indenture supplement pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected

 

119


thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such indenture supplement shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement for any and all purposes.

Section 13.05    Reference in Notes to Indenture Supplements. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any indenture supplement pursuant to this Article XIII may bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such indenture supplement.

ARTICLE XIV

PLEDGE OF OTHER OBLIGOR COLLATERAL

Section 14.01    Grant of Security Interest/UCC Collateral. Each Obligor hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the following property in each case whether now owned or hereafter acquired and wherever located: (i) equipment (as defined in the UCC), all parts thereof and all accessions thereto, (ii) fixtures, all substitutes and replacements therefor, all accessions and attachments thereto, and all tools, parts and equipment now or hereafter added to or used in connection with the fixtures (including proceeds which constitute property of the types described herein), (iii) accounts (as defined in the UCC), (iv) inventory (as defined in the UCC), (v) general intangibles (as defined in the UCC), (vi) investment property (as defined in the UCC), (vii) deposit accounts (as defined in the UCC), (viii) chattel paper (as defined in the UCC), (ix) instruments (as defined in the UCC), (x) 100% of the limited liability company or other ownership interests in each Asset Entity, (xi) all rights and remedies of any of the Obligors under the Transaction Documents, (xii) leases of personal property and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the “Other Obligor Collateral”), as security for payment and performance of all of the Obligations hereunder. The Issuer and the Asset Entities hereby authorize the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation, to file such financing statements as the Indenture Trustee shall deem reasonably necessary to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the Other Obligor Collateral and file continuation statements to match such perfection. The Issuer and the Asset Entities authorize the Indenture Trustee to use the collateral description “all personal property” or similar variation in any such financing statements. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee shall have all rights and remedies pertaining to the Other Obligor Collateral as are provided for in any of the Transaction Documents or under any applicable law including the Indenture Trustee’s rights of enforcement with respect to the Other Obligor Collateral or any part thereof, exercising its rights of enforcement with respect to the Other Obligor Collateral or any part thereof under the UCC (or under the Uniform Commercial Code in force in any other state to the extent the same is applicable law) and in conjunction with, in addition to, or in substitution for, such rights and remedies of the following:

(a)    The Indenture Trustee may enter upon the premises of an Obligor to take possession of, assemble and collect the Other Obligor Collateral or to render it unusable.

 

120


(b)    The Indenture Trustee may require an Obligor to assemble the Other Obligor Collateral and make it available at a place the Indenture Trustee designates which is mutually convenient to allow the Indenture Trustee to take possession or dispose of the Other Obligor Collateral.

(c)    Written notice mailed to the Issuer as provided herein at least ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of the Other Obligor Collateral or prior to the date after which private sale of the Other Obligor Collateral will be made shall constitute reasonable notice.

(d)    In the event of a foreclosure sale, the Other Obligor Collateral and the other Collateral may, at the option of the Indenture Trustee, be sold as a whole.

(e)    It shall not be necessary that the Indenture Trustee take possession of the Other Obligor Collateral or any part thereof prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this section is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Other Obligor Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale.

(f)    Prior to application of proceeds of disposition of the Other Obligor Collateral to the Obligations, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee.

(g)    Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of the Obligations or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to the Indenture Trustee having declared all of such indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and of the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by the Indenture Trustee, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited.

(h)    The Indenture Trustee may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by the Indenture Trustee, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee.

ARTICLE XV

121


conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement, or any Transaction Document relating to the proposed action have been complied with, when reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee or Servicer, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel such action is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Transaction Document as applicable, and all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, and (iii) if applicable, an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants meeting the applicable requirements of this Section 15.01, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Transaction Document, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

Every certificate or opinion provided by or on behalf of the Issuer with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture, or any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document shall include:

(i)    a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions in this Indenture, in any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document relating thereto;

(ii)    a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(iii)    a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

(iv)    a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to require either the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer to confirm, represent or warrant the accuracy of (or to be liable or responsible for) any other Person’s information or report, including any communication from any Issuer, Asset Entity, Guarantor or the Manager. In connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, each of the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any written information or certification (without any obligation to investigate the accuracy or completeness of any information or certification set forth therein) or recommendation provided to it by the Manager, and neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Servicer shall have any liability with respect thereto.

Section 15.02    Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

(a)    In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

 

122


(b)    Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or Opinion of Counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless such officer or officers of the Issuer or such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

(c)    Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, comments, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

(d)    Whenever in this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer or the Asset Entities shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s or the Asset Entities’ compliance with any term hereof, in any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer or the Asset Entities to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s or Servicer’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article XI.

Section 15.03    Acts of Noteholders.

(a)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture or in any Indenture Supplement such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied in this Indenture or in any Indenture Supplement and evidenced thereby) are sometimes referred to in this Indenture as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and (subject to Article XI) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 15.03.

 

123


(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 Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(c)    The ownership, principal balance and serial numbers of the Notes, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Note Register.

(d)    If the Issuer shall solicit from Noteholders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Issuer may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Noteholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Issuer shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Issuer’s discretion. If not set by the Issuer prior to the first solicitation of a Noteholder made by any Person in respect of any such matters referred to in the foregoing sentence, such record date shall be the date thirty (30) days prior to such first solicitation of Noteholders. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent and waiver or other Act may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Noteholders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Noteholders for the purpose of determining whether Noteholders of the requisite proportion of the Notes Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Notes Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date.

(e)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(f)    Without limiting the foregoing, a Noteholder entitled hereunder or under any Indenture Supplement to take any action hereunder or thereunder with regard to any Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal balance of such Note or by one or more appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal balance of such Note.

Section 15.04    Notices; Copies of Notices and Other Information.

(a)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(i)    the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or

(ii)    the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid and by facsimile to the Issuer addressed to: LMRK Issuer Co. 2 LLC,

 

124


2141 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 2100, El Segundo, CA 90245; Attention: George Doyle with copies to Landmark Infrastructure Partners LP, 2141 Rosecrans Ave #2100, El Segundo, California 90245, Attention: Legal Department and Latham & Watkins LLP, 885 3rd Ave, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Loren Finegold, Esq. or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer by the Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by them from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee and Servicer.

(b)    Any notice to be given to the Indenture Trustee hereunder shall also be given to the Note Registrar and the Servicer in writing, personally delivered, faxed or mailed by certified mail; provided, however, that only one notice to the Indenture Trustee shall be necessary at any time that the Indenture Trustee is also the Note Registrar.

(c)    Any notice, and copies of any reports, certificates, schedules, statements, documents or other information to be given to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer, the Guarantor, or the Asset Entities hereunder shall also be simultaneously given to the Servicer in writing, personally delivered, faxed or mailed by certified mail and shall not be deemed given to the Indenture Trustee until also given to the Servicer; provided, however, that only one notice or copy of such reports, certificates, schedules, or other information required to be given to the Indenture Trustee shall be necessary at any time that the Indenture Trustee is also the Servicer.

(d)    Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer or the Asset Entities or the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series of Notes shall be made as specified in the Series Supplement for such Series of Notes.

Section 15.05    Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

(a)    Where this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture or in any Indenture Supplement) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner provided in this Indenture shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

(b)    Where this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any 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 Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

(c)    In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

 

125


(d)    Where this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice to the Rating Agencies shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder or under any Indenture Supplement, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.

Section 15.06    Payment and Notice Dates. All payments to be made and notices to be delivered pursuant to this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document shall be made by the responsible party as of the dates set forth in this Indenture, in any Indenture Supplement or in any other Transaction Document.

Section 15.07    Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings in this Indenture or in any Indenture Supplement and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof or thereof.

Section 15.08    Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement and the Notes by the Obligors shall bind their permitted successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement shall bind its permitted successors, co-trustees and agents.

Section 15.09    Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or in the Notes of any Series shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 15.10    Benefits of Indenture. Subject to Section 13.01 and Section 13.02 and Article XI, nothing in this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, the Servicer, the Backup Manager and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders and any other party secured hereunder or under any such Indenture Supplement, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Collateral and the Rating Agencies, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement.

Section 15.11    Legal Holiday. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes, this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture or in any such Indenture Supplement, no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

Section 15.12    Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE AND EACH INDENTURE SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN

ARTICLE XVI

GUARANTEES

Section 16.01    Guarantees. Each Asset Entity hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer and their respective successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer and the other Asset Entities under this Indenture and the Notes and each other Transaction Document and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer and the other Asset Entities under this Indenture and the Notes and all other Transaction Documents (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

 

129


Each Asset Entity waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Issuer and the other Asset Entities of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice (except as required under this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents) of protest for nonpayment. Each Asset Entity waives notice (except as required under this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents) of any default under the Notes or the other Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Asset Entity hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the Transaction Documents against any other Obligor or any other Person or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other Transaction Document; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Indenture Trustee for the Obligations or any of them; or (e) the failure of any Holder or the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Each Asset Entity further agrees that its guaranty herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Except as expressly set forth herein, the obligations of each Asset Entity hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Asset Entity herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Asset Entity or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Asset Entity as a matter of law or equity.

Each Asset Entity further agrees that its guaranty herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer has at law or in equity against any Asset Entity by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by

 

130


acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Asset Entity hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, as the case may be, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations and (iii) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Issuer to the Holders and the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer.

Each Asset Entity also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) incurred by the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer in enforcing any rights under this Section.

Notwithstanding any payment made by any Asset Entity hereunder, such Asset Entity shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Indenture Trustee against the Obligors or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Indenture Trustee for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Asset Entity seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Obligors in respect of payments made by the Asset Entity hereunder, until the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to an Asset Entity on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Asset Entity in trust for the Indenture Trustee, segregated from other funds of such Asset Entity, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Asset Entity, be turned over to the Indenture Trustee in the exact form received by such Asset Entity (duly indorsed by such Asset Entity to the Indenture Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Indenture Trustee may determine.

Section 16.02    Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the maximum, aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Asset Entity shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Asset Entity, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Section 16.03    Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 16.06, this Article XVI shall be binding upon each Asset Entity and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Indenture Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 16.04    No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XVI shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XVI at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

 

131


Section 16.05    Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XVI, nor the consent to any departure by any Asset Entity therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Indenture Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Asset Entity in any case shall entitle such Asset Entity to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 16.06    Release of Asset Entity. Upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of an Asset Entity that is permitted hereunder (each case other than to the Issuer or another Asset Entity), such Asset Entity shall be deemed released from all obligations under this Article XVI without any further action required on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder. At the request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.

THE OUTSTANDING NOTE PRINCIPAL BALANCE HEREOF AT ANY TIME MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT SHOWN ABOVE.

This certifies that CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, is the registered owner of the percentage interest evidenced by this Note (obtained by dividing the principal amount of this Note (its “Note Principal Balance”) as of the Closing Date by the Class Principal Balance of the Class of Notes to which this Note belongs) in the Class [      ] Notes (the “Percentage Interest”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of [ - ], 2017 (together with all modifications, supplements, amendments and restatements thereof, the “Indenture”), as supplemented by a Series Supplement, between the Issuer and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as indenture trustee and not in its individual capacity (the “Indenture Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture. This Note is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, beginning on the first Payment Date specified above, payments will be made on the 15th day of each month or, if any such 15th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”) to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Payment Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Note in the Series to which this Note belongs and the amount required to be paid to all the Holders of the Class of Notes to which this Note belongs on the applicable Payment Date pursuant to the Indenture; provided that if the Indenture or the Series Supplement provides that the amount required to be paid shall be allocated to a Series, such payments shall be paid to the Holders of the Class and Series to which this Note belongs on the applicable Payment Date pursuant to the Indenture. All payments made under the Indenture on this Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee from funds available therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if this Noteholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of this Noteholder as it appears in the Note Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Note will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the offices of the Note Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment.

This Note shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period on the Note Principal Balance of such Note at a rate per annum equal to the related Note Rate. Interest on

 

A-1-4


each Class of Notes shall be calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, during each Interest Accrual Period, shall accrue at the Note Rate for such Class for such Interest Accrual Period on the Class Principal Balance thereof outstanding immediately prior to the related Payment Date.

The Note Principal Balance of this Note, to the extent not earlier paid, shall be due and payable in its entirety on the Rated Final Payment Date of this Note.

As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Collection Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Noteholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Notes and the payment of interest on such advances and expenses.

Any payment to the Holder of this Note in reduction of the Note Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Note and any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Note.

This Note is issuable in fully-registered form only without coupons. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for new Notes of the same Class of the same Series in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Tax Restricted Note or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is otherwise made in accordance with Section 2.02(k) of the Indenture.

If a transfer of any Note that constitutes a Definitive Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Notes or a transfer of a Book-Entry Note to a successor Depositary as contemplated by Section 2.03(c) of the Indenture), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-4 or Exhibit B-5 to the Indenture and a certificate from the prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3 to the Indenture; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Note Registrar to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Parent, the Guarantor, the Obligors, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager or the Note Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer or such Noteholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.

 

A-1-5


If a transfer of any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Book-Entry Notes), then the Holder is deemed to represent to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that it is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and is acquiring this Rule 144A Global Note (or interest therein) for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are qualified institutional buyers). Except as provided in the following two paragraphs, no interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for any Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of an interest in such Rule 144A Global Note.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for a Class of Book-Entry Notes (other than a Rule 144A Global Note that is a Tax Restricted Note) may be transferred to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for such Class of Notes upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, and credit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Note, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Class of Notes to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions, the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note in respect of the applicable Class of Notes and increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note for such Class by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.

Also notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Notes may be transferred by any Note Owner holding such interest to any Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer) that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Note of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Note upon delivery to the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee of (i) such certifications or opinions as are contemplated by the second paragraph of Section 2.02(b) of the Indenture and (ii) such written orders and instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Note. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of the certifications or opinions contemplated by the second paragraph of Section 2.02(b) of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the subject Rule 144A Global Note by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, and shall cause a Definitive Note of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Note, and in a denomination equal to the reduction in the denomination of such Rule 144A Global Note, to be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Indenture to the applicable Transferee.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, no beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for any Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note. On or prior to the Release Date, a Note Owner desiring to effect any such Transfer shall be required to

 

A-1-6


obtain from such Note Owner’s prospective Transferee a written certification substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B-1 to the Indenture certifying that such Transferee is not a U.S. Person (as defined under Regulation S). On or prior to the Release Date, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note for each Class of Book-Entry Notes may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. The Regulation S Global Note for each Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be deposited with the Indenture Trustee as custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depositary.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, after the Release Date, any interest in a Regulation S Global Note for a Class of Book-Entry Notes may be transferred to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note for such Class of Notes upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Note, and credit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Class of Notes to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions, the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note in respect of the applicable Class of Notes and increase the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Notes for such Class by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.

Neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be obligated to register or qualify any Class of Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder or Note Owner desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Parent, the Manager, the Guarantors, the Obligors, the Initial Purchasers, the Placement Agents, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager, the Backup Manager, the Servicer and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of any Note or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan or to any Person who is directly or indirectly acquiring such Note on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with the assets of, a Plan, except in each such case, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02(c) of the Indenture. Any attempted or purported transfer of a Note in violation of Section 2.02(c) of the Indenture will be null and void and vest no rights in any purported Transferee.

The Note Registrar shall refuse to register the transfer of a Note that constitutes a Definitive Note or a transfer of an interest in a Book-Entry Note that following such purported transfer will constitute a Definitive Note, unless it has received from the prospective Transferee a certification that either:

(A) such prospective Transferee is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) with any assets of any Plan; or

 

A-1-7


(B) such acquisition and holding by such Transferee of such Note (or any interest therein) will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

It is hereby acknowledged that either of the forms of certification attached to the Indenture as Exhibits B-2 and B-3 is acceptable for purposes of clauses (A) and (B). If a transfer of any interest in a Note is to be made and is permitted without delivering to the Note Registrar a certification as provided in Section 2.02(c) of the Indenture, the prospective Transferee of such Note, by its acquisition of such Note (or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) with any assets of any Plan or (ii) such acquisition and holding by such Transferee will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the offices of the Note Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class of the same Series in authorized denominations evidencing the same Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge will be imposed for any transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Note is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Note shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC, and accordingly, this Note shall constitute a Book-Entry Note.

The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Obligations created by the Indenture shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and required under the Indenture to be so paid on the Payment Date following the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the Notes.

 

A-1-8


The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, with a prior direction of Noteholders representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Notes adversely affected thereby and without prior notice to any other Noteholder, also may amend, supplement or modify the Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or the Notes or waive compliance by the Issuer with any provision of the Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or the Notes; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver may, without the consent of the Holder of each Note (including, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture, the Holder of any Note that is the Issuer or any of its Affiliates) adversely affected thereby: (i) change the Anticipated Repayment Date applicable to the Series or the Rated Final Payment Date applicable to the Series, (ii) reduce the amounts required to be paid on the Notes on any Payment Date, the Anticipated Repayment Date or the Rated Final Payment Date, (iii) change the place of payments on the Notes on any Payment Date, the Anticipated Repayment Date or the Rated Final Payment Date, (iv) change the coin or currency in which the principal of any Note or interest thereon is payable, (v) impair the right of a Noteholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Note on or after the maturity thereof, (vi) reduce the percentage in principal balance of the outstanding principal balance of any of the Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for such amendment or eliminate the requirement that affected Noteholders consent to any amendment, (vii) change any obligation of the Issuer to maintain an office or agency in the places and for the purposes set forth in the Indenture, (viii) modify the provisions of the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement governing the amount of principal, interest and the Anticipated Repayment Date, the Rated Final Payment Date or any scheduled Payment Dates with respect to such payments, or (ix) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on parity with the lien of the Noteholders with respect to the Collateral or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated in the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, terminate the lien of the Noteholders on such Collateral or deprive the Noteholders of the security afforded by such.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Note Registrar, by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose.

The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will not have at any time recourse for payments hereunder against the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any Agents or Affiliates thereof.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of [ - ], 2017 (together with all modifications, supplements, amendments and restatements thereof, the “Indenture”), as supplemented by a Series Supplement, between the Issuer and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as indenture trustee and not in its individual capacity (the “Indenture Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture. This Note is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, beginning on the first Payment Date specified above, payments will be made on the 15th day of each month or, if any such 15th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”) to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Payment Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Note and the amount required to be paid to all the Holders of the Class of Notes to which this Note belongs on the applicable Payment Date pursuant to the Indenture; provided that if the Indenture or the Series Supplement provides that the amount required to be paid shall be allocated to a Series, such payments shall be paid to the Holders of the Class and Series to which this Note belongs on the applicable Payment Date pursuant to the Indenture. All payments made under the Indenture on the Series to which this Note belongs this Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee from funds available therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds

 

A-2-4


to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if this Noteholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of this Noteholder as it appears in the Note Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Note will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the offices of the Note Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment.

This Note shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period on the Note Principal Balance of such Note at a rate per annum equal to the related Note Rate. Interest on each Class of Notes shall be calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, during each Interest Accrual Period, shall accrue at the Note Rate for such Class for such Interest Accrual Period on the Class Principal Balance thereof outstanding immediately prior to the related Payment Date.

The Note Principal Balance of this Note, to the extent not earlier paid, shall be due and payable in its entirety on the Rated Final Payment Date of this Note.

As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Collection Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Noteholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Notes and the payment of interest on such advances and expenses.

Any payment to the Holder of this Note in reduction of the Note Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Note and any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Note.

This Note is issuable in fully-registered form only without coupons. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for new Notes of the same Class of the same Series in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Tax Restricted Note or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is otherwise made in accordance with Section 2.02(k) of the Indenture.

If a transfer of any Note that constitutes a Definitive Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Notes or a transfer of a Book-Entry Note to a successor Depositary as contemplated by Section 2.03(c) of the Indenture), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-4 or Exhibit B-5 to the Indenture and a certificate from the prospective Transferee substantially in

 

A-2-5


the form attached as Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3 to the Indenture; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Note Registrar to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Parent, the Guarantor, the Obligors, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager or the Note Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer or such Noteholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.

If a transfer of any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Book-Entry Notes), then the Holder is deemed to represent to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that it is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and is acquiring this Rule 144A Global Note (or interest therein) for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are qualified institutional buyers). Except as provided in the following two paragraphs, no interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for any Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of an interest in such Rule 144A Global Note.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for a Class of Book-Entry Notes (other than a Rule 144A Global Note that is a Tax Restricted Note) may be transferred to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for such Class of Notes upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, and credit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Note, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Class of Notes to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions, the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note in respect of the applicable Class of Notes and increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note for such Class by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.

Also notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Notes may be transferred by any Note Owner holding such interest to any Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer) that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Note of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Note upon delivery to the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee of (i) such certifications or opinions as are contemplated by the second paragraph of Section 2.02(b) of the Indenture and (ii) such written orders and instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Note. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of the certifications or opinions contemplated by the second paragraph of Section 2.02(b) of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the subject Rule 144A Global Note by the

 

A-2-6


denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, and shall cause a Definitive Note of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Note, and in a denomination equal to the reduction in the denomination of such Rule 144A Global Note, to be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Indenture to the applicable Transferee.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, no beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for any Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note. On or prior to the Release Date, a Note Owner desiring to effect any such Transfer shall be required to obtain from such Note Owner’s prospective Transferee a written certification substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B-1 to the Indenture certifying that such Transferee is not a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S). On or prior to the Release Date, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note for each Class of Book-Entry Notes may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. The Regulation S Global Note for each Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be deposited with the Indenture Trustee as custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depositary.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, after the Release Date, any interest in a Regulation S Global Note for a Class of Book-Entry Notes may be transferred to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note for such Class of Notes upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Note, and credit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Class of Notes to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions, the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note in respect of the applicable Class of Notes and increase the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Notes for such Class by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.

Neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be obligated to register or qualify any Class of Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder or Note Owner desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Parent, the Manager, the Guarantors, the Obligors, the Initial Purchasers, the Placement Agents, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager, the Backup Manager, the Servicer and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of any Note or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan or to any Person who is directly or indirectly acquiring such Note on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with the assets of, a Plan, except in each such case, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02(c) of the Indenture. Any attempted or purported transfer of a Note in violation of Section 2.02(c) of the Indenture will be null and void and vest no rights in any purported Transferee.

 

A-2-7


The Note Registrar shall refuse to register the transfer of a Note that constitutes a Definitive Note or a transfer of an interest in a Book-Entry Note that following such purported transfer will constitute a Definitive Note, unless it has received from the prospective Transferee a certification that either:

(A) such prospective Transferee is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) with any assets of any Plan; or

(B) such acquisition and holding by such Transferee of such Note (or any interest therein) will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

It is hereby acknowledged that either of the forms of certification attached to the Indenture as Exhibits B-2 and B-3 is acceptable for purposes of clauses (A) and (B). If a transfer of any interest in a Note is to be made and is permitted without delivering to the Note Registrar a certification as provided in Section 2.02(c) of the Indenture, the prospective Transferee of such Note, by its acquisition of such Note (or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) with any assets of any Plan or (ii) such acquisition and holding by such Transferee will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the offices of the Note Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class of the same Series in authorized denominations evidencing the same Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge will be imposed for any transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Note is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Note shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC, and accordingly, this Note shall constitute a Book-Entry Note.

The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

A-2-8


Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Obligations created by the Indenture shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Noteholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and required under the Indenture to be so paid on the Payment Date following the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the Notes.

The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, with a prior direction of Noteholders representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Notes adversely affected thereby and without prior notice to any other Noteholder, also may amend, supplement or modify the Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or the Notes or waive compliance by the Issuer with any provision of the Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or the Notes; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver may, without the consent of the Holder of each Note (including, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture, the Holder of any Note that is the Issuer or any of its Affiliates) adversely affected thereby: (i) change the Anticipated Repayment Date applicable to the Series or the Rated Final Payment Date applicable to the Series, (ii) reduce the amounts required to be paid on the Notes on any Payment Date, the Anticipated Repayment Date or the Rated Final Payment Date, (iii) change the place of payments on the Notes on any Payment Date, the Anticipated Repayment Date or the Rated Final Payment Date, (iv) change the coin or currency in which the principal of any Note or interest thereon is payable, (v) impair the right of a Noteholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Note on or after the maturity thereof, (vi) reduce the percentage in principal balance of the outstanding principal balance of any of the Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for such amendment or eliminate the requirement that affected Noteholders consent to any amendment, (vii) change any obligation of the Issuer to maintain an office or agency in the places and for the purposes set forth in the Indenture, (viii) modify the provisions of the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement governing the amount of principal, interest and the Anticipated Repayment Date, the Rated Final Payment Date or any scheduled Payment Dates with respect to such payments, or (ix) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on parity with the lien of the Noteholders with respect to the Collateral or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated in the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, terminate the lien of the Noteholders on such Collateral or deprive the Noteholders of the security afforded by such.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Note Registrar, by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose.

The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will not have at any time recourse for payments hereunder against the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any Agents or Affiliates thereof.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Association, as indenture trustee and not in its individual capacity (the “Indenture Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture. This Note is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, beginning on the first Payment Date specified above, payments will be made on the 15th day of each month or, if any such 15th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”) to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Payment Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Note in the Series to which this Note belongs and the amount required to be paid to all the Holders of the Class of Notes to which this Note belongs on the applicable Payment Date pursuant to the Indenture; provided that if the Indenture or the Series Supplement provides that the amount required to be paid shall be allocated to a Series, such payments shall be paid to the Holders of the Class and Series to which this Note belongs on the applicable Payment Date pursuant to the Indenture. All payments made under the Indenture on this Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee from funds available therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if this Noteholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of this Noteholder as it appears in the Note Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Note will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the offices of the Note Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment.

This Note shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period on the Note Principal Balance of such Note at a rate per annum equal to the related Note Rate. Interest on each Class of Notes shall be calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, during each Interest Accrual Period, shall accrue at the Note Rate for such Class for such Interest Accrual Period on the Class Principal Balance thereof outstanding immediately prior to the related Payment Date.

The Note Principal Balance of this Note, to the extent not earlier paid, shall be due and payable in its entirety on the Rated Final Payment Date of this Note.

As provided in the Indenture, withdrawals from the Collection Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Noteholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Notes and the payment of interest on such advances and expenses.

Any payment to the Holder of this Note in reduction of the Note Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Note and any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Note.

 

A-3-4


This Note is issuable in fully-registered form only without coupons. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for new Notes of the same Class of the same Series in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Tax Restricted Note or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is otherwise made in accordance with Section 2.02(k) of the Indenture.

If a transfer of any Note that constitutes a Definitive Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Notes or a transfer of a Book-Entry Note to a successor Depositary as contemplated by Section 2.03(c) of the Indenture), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-4 or Exhibit B-5 to the Indenture and a certificate from the prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3 to the Indenture; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Note Registrar to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Parent, the Guarantor, the Obligors, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager or the Note Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer or such Noteholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.

If a transfer of any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Book-Entry Notes), then the Holder is deemed to represent to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that it is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and is acquiring this Rule 144A Global Note (or interest therein) for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are qualified institutional buyers). Except as provided in the following two paragraphs, no interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for any Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of an interest in such Rule 144A Global Note.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for a Class of Book-Entry Notes (other than a Rule 144A Global Note that is a Tax Restricted Note) may be transferred to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for such Class of Notes upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, and credit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global

 

A-3-5


Note, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Class of Notes to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions, the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note in respect of the applicable Class of Notes and increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note for such Class by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.

Also notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest in a Rule 144A Global Note with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Notes may be transferred by any Note Owner holding such interest to any Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer) that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Note of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Note upon delivery to the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee of (i) such certifications or opinions as are contemplated by the second paragraph of Section 2.02(b) of the Indenture and (ii) such written orders and instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Note. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of the certifications or opinions contemplated by the second paragraph of Section 2.02(b) of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the subject Rule 144A Global Note by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, and shall cause a Definitive Note of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Note, and in a denomination equal to the reduction in the denomination of such Rule 144A Global Note, to be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Indenture to the applicable Transferee.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, no beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for any Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note. On or prior to the Release Date, a Note Owner desiring to effect any such Transfer shall be required to obtain from such Note Owner’s prospective Transferee a written certification substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B-1 to the Indenture certifying that such Transferee is not a U.S. Person (as defined under Regulation S). On or prior to the Release Date, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note for each Class of Book-Entry Notes may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. The Regulation S Global Note for each Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be deposited with the Indenture Trustee as custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depositary.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, after the Release Date, any interest in a Regulation S Global Note for a Class of Book-Entry Notes may be transferred to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note for such Class of Notes upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions as are required under the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Indenture Trustee to debit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Note, and credit the account of a DTC Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Note, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Class of Notes to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Note Registrar of such written orders and instructions, the Indenture Trustee, subject to and in accordance with the

 

A-3-6


Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, shall reduce the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note in respect of the applicable Class of Notes and increase the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Notes for such Class by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.

Neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be obligated to register or qualify any Class of Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder or Note Owner desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Parent, the Manager, the Guarantors, the Obligors, the Initial Purchasers, the Placement Agents, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager, the Backup Manager, the Servicer and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of any Note or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan or to any Person who is directly or indirectly acquiring such Note on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with the assets of, a Plan, except in each such case, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02(c) of the Indenture. Any attempted or purported transfer of a Note in violation of Section 2.02(c) of the Indenture will be null and void and vest no rights in any purported Transferee.

The Note Registrar shall refuse to register the transfer of a Note that constitutes a Definitive Note or a transfer of an interest in a Book-Entry Note that following such purported transfer will constitute a Definitive Note, unless it has received from the prospective Transferee a certification that either:

(A) such prospective Transferee is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) with any assets of any Plan; or

(B) such acquisition and holding by such Transferee of such Note (or any interest therein) will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

It is hereby acknowledged that either of the forms of certification attached to the Indenture as Exhibits B-2 and B-3 is acceptable for purposes of clauses (A) and (B). If a transfer of any interest in a Note is to be made and is permitted without delivering to the Note Registrar a certification as provided in Section 2.02(c) of the Indenture, the prospective Transferee of such Note, by its acquisition of such Note (or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) with any assets of any Plan or (ii) such acquisition and holding by such Transferee will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

 

A-3-7


As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the offices of the Note Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class of the same Series in authorized denominations evidencing the same Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Wilmington Trust, National Association

1100 North Market Street

Wilmington, Delaware 19890

Attention: Workflow Management

Re: $         Secured Tenant Site Contract Revenue Notes, Series     , Class      (the “Notes”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by (the “Transferor”) to (the “Transferee”) of Class      Notes having an initial Note Principal Balance as of                  (the “Closing Date”) of $         (the “Transferred Notes”). The Notes, including the Transferred Notes, were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of [ - ], 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among LMRK Issuer Co. 2 LLC (the “Issuer”), LMRK Propco LLC, LD Tall Wall III LLC and Wilmington Trust, National Association, a national banking association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to and agrees with you, and for the benefit of the Issuer, that:

1. The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred Notes with the full right to transfer such Notes free from any and all claims and encumbrances whatsoever.

2. Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Transferred Note, any interest in a Transferred Note or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of any Transferred Note, any interest in a Transferred Note or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Transferred Note, any interest in a Transferred Note or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to any Transferred Note, any interest in a Transferred Note or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action with respect to any Transferred Note, any interest in a Transferred Note or any other similar security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a payment of the Transferred Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or would render the disposition of the Transferred Notes a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of the Transferred Notes pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

3. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) purchasing for its own account or for the account of another person that is itself a Qualified Institutional Buyer. In determining whether the Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter has relied upon the following method(s) of establishing the Transferee’s ownership and discretionary investments of securities (check one or more):

☐  (a) The Transferee’s most recent publicly available financial statements, which statements present the information as of a date within sixteen (16) months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Notes in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within eighteen (18) months preceding such date of sale in the case of a foreign purchaser; or

☐  (b) The most recent publicly available information appearing in documents filed by the Transferee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or another United States federal, state, or local governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a date within sixteen (16) months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Notes in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within eighteen (18) months preceding such date of sale in the case of a foreign purchaser;

 

B-4-1


☐  (c) The most recent publicly available information appearing in a recognized securities manual, which information is as of a date within sixteen (16) months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Notes in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within eighteen (18) months preceding such date of sale in the case of a foreign purchaser;

☐  (d) A certification by the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the Transferee, specifying the amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year, or, in the case of a Transferee that is a member of a “family of investment companies,” as that term is defined in Rule 144A, a certification by an executive officer of the investment adviser specifying the amount of securities owned by the “family of investment companies” as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year; or

4. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:

(a) the following instruments and interests shall be excluded: securities of issuers that are affiliated with such entity; securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by such entity, if such entity is a dealer; securities of issuers that are part of such entity’s “family of investment companies,” if such entity is a registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit; loan participations; repurchase agreements; securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement; currency, interest rate and commodity swaps; and securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement;

(b) the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of such securities, except where the entity reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities may be valued at market; and

(c) securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are consolidated with the entity in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles may be included if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the entity, except that, unless the entity is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be included if the entity itself is a majority-owned subsidiary that would be included in the consolidated financial statements of another enterprise.

5. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

6. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the Transferred Notes and payments thereon, (b) the nature, performance and servicing of the Tenant Leases, (c) the Indenture, and (d) all related matters, in each case that the Transferee has requested.

DEFINITIVE NOTES TO ACCREDITED INVESTORS

Wilmington Trust, National Association

1100 North Market Street

Wilmington, Delaware 19890

Attention: Workflow Management

Re: $         Secured Tenant Site Contract Revenue Notes, Series     , Class      (the “Notes”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by (the “Transferor”) to (the “Transferee”) of Class      Notes having an initial Note Principal Balance as of                      (the “Closing Date”) of $         (the “Transferred Notes”). The Notes, including the Transferred Notes, were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of [ - ], 2017 (as amended restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among LMRK Issuer Co. 2 LLC (the “Issuer”), LMRK Propco LLC, LD Tall Wall III LLC and Wilmington Trust, National Association, a national banking association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to and agrees with you, and for the benefit of the Issuer, that:

1. The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred Notes with the full right to transfer such Notes free from any and all claims and encumbrances whatsoever.

2. Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, reoffered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred any Transferred Note, any interest in any Transferred Note or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of any Transferred Note, any interest in any Transferred Note or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Transferred Note, any interest in any Transferred Note or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to any Transferred Note, any interest in any Transferred Note or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action with respect to any Transferred Note, any interest in any Transferred Note or any other similar security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution of the Transferred Notes under the Securities Act, would render the disposition of the Transferred Notes a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities law or would require registration or qualification of the Transferred Notes pursuant thereto. The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to any Transferred Note, any interest in any Transferred Note or any other similar security.

3. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

4. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the Transferred Notes and distributions thereon, (b) the nature, performance and servicing of the Tenant Leases, (c) the Indenture, and (d) all related matters, in each case that the Transferee has requested.

 

Very truly yours,
